PNNL's E-COMP initiative is helping unleash American energy innovation with advanced theories, models, and software tools to better operate power systems that rely heavily on high-speed power electronic control.

A new report details the potential for floating offshore wind to lower energy costs and enhance the resilience of the nation’s western grid.

The National Transmission Planning Study presents several transmission expansion scenarios that would reliably support the growing demand for energy across the nation.

New transmission lines and renewable energy projects would bring economic and climate change benefits to the Western United States’s electricity grid.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.

With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.
