PNNL researchers are helping to better define the need for grid energy storage in future clean energy scenarios, as well as working to improve technologies for storing renewable energy so it's available when and where it's needed.
To overcome high-performance computing bottlenecks, a research team at PNNL proposed using graph theory, a mathematical field that explores relationships and connections between a number, or cluster, of points in a space.
A new policy database containing energy equity-related actions could serve as a useful starting point for state policymakers and stakeholders who want to enact similar energy equity measures or adapt policies to their local circumstances.
