In a study off the West Coast, researchers find that although seabirds generally soar underneath the height of possible future wind turbine blades, more work is being done to fully understand seabird flight behavior.

If you’re not sure whether rooftop solar panels and battery energy storage systems are right for you, start with this new guide from PNNL researchers.

PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.

A new iron-based aqueous flow battery shows promise for grid energy storage applications.

In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?

New research identifies the most important factors in successful fish passage, pointing toward new options for flexible dam operations.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.

Two renewable energy approaches—enhanced geothermal systems and floating offshore wind energy—get new focus as Energy Earthshot™ Research Centers at PNNL.

Regional wind data helps utilities save money, plan for windy days.
