The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.
A research buoy managed by PNNL has been deployed in Hawai’ian waters, collecting oceanographic and meteorological measurements off the coast of O’ahu.
A multi-institutional team of wind energy experts led by PNNL assessed the scientific grand challenges for offshore wind and provided recommendations for closing gaps in models.
New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.
