Pumped-storage hydropower offers the most cost-effective storage option for shifting large volumes of energy. A PNNL-led team wrote a report comparing cost and performance factors for 10 storage technologies.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is leading efforts to address next-generation computing’s critical role in protecting the nation from cybersecurity threats.
PNNL’s autonomous fish body double, Sensor Fish, and the miniature version, Sensor Fish Mini, were used to evaluate a special screen. Researchers found the screen provides safe downstream passage for fish at irrigation structures.
Alicia Gorton, marine scientist and project manager in the PNNL’s Coastal Sciences Division, has joined the editorial board of the Marine Technology Society Journal.
A PNNL study that evaluated the use of friction stir technology on stainless steel has shown that the steel resists erosion more than three times that of its unprocessed counterpart.
PNNL researchers are developing and evaluating bat tagging and tracking tools that will help design solutions to protect the bat population from wind turbines.
Three PNNL fish researchers recently published a video journal article on how to properly implant miniature acoustic tags in juvenile Pacific lamprey and American eel and how the tags could benefit migration.
During his doctorate work in southeastern Australia, PNNL fisheries engineer Brett Pflugrath examined weirs, or small dams built across rivers, and how they impact fish passage.
Like its namesake, Triton, a Greek god dubbed the herald of the sea, the Triton Initiative aims to deliver messages from the ocean about marine energy and how it affects nearby marine animals.
