The Genesis Mission will mobilize the Department of Energy’s 17 National Laboratories, industry, and academia to build an integrated discovery platform.

A new analysis shows how renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower respond to climate patterns, and how utilities can use this data to save money and invest in energy storage.

Federal environmental permitting process to be fast-tracked with AI-powered tools and cloud-supported data analysis.

A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities and enhance reliability.

The Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office recognized Livewire’s outstanding teamwork and technical expertise.

Although climate change may bring increased precipitation to many parts of the United States, some areas may face drier conditions and lower streamflow, resulting in decreased hydropower generation.

PNNL computing experts Robert Rallo and Court Corley contribute their knowledge to a recent DOE report on applications of AI to energy, materials, and the power grid.

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

New research simulates power demand, supply, and cost in a hotter, drier climate.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

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.
