Sam Rosenberg, a data research scientist in the Energy and Environment Directorate at PNNL, has been appointed voting member of the Regional Technical Forum for the Northwest Power Conservation Council.
From water purification, to better batteries and tools to foil a cyberattack—a look back at how PNNL helped to invent a brighter and better future over the last year.
Electrical engineer Aditya Ashok and cybersecurity researcher Thomas Edgar win best paper award for their work to create a new high-fidelity dataset that will help advance cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure protection.
New building energy codes could reduce utility bills by $138 billion and prevent 900 million metric tons of CO2 emissions coming from buildings. Now, they will be easier to adopt.
PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.
PNNL will play a key role in advancing Connected Communities made up of efficient homes and buildings that communicate with the grid to produce energy and environmental benefits.
Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.
Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
PNNL cybersecurity engineer Penny McKenzie was selected from hundreds of national laboratory mentors to join Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on multi-laboratory DOE internship panel for summer interns.
PNNL recently worked with Purdue University to host a Cybersecurity Summit for PNNL researchers to find out more about the research at Purdue’s Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security.
PNNL’s energy-efficient dehumidifier may reduce energy consumption by up to 50% in residential A/C systems and increase the range of electric vehicles by up to 75%. The system has been licensed to Montana Technologies.
Svitlana Volkova, chief scientist for decision intelligence and analytics at PNNL, was invited as a panelist at the SIAM International Conference on Data Mining
When the COVID-19 pandemic halted all travel for in-person inspections, a team at PNNL knew they needed to find a way to perform assessments virtually. Their solution—a portable kit that could be shipped to locations.
PNNL computer scientists joined international leaders in machine learning to present research to detect and address potential cybersecurity threats and devise epidemic interventions.
