PNNL has published a cybersecurity guidance report for marine renewable energy devices to prepare the blue economy for harnessing ocean power from waves, tides, and currents.
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded funding to PNNL for the design and construction of a hybrid research vessel and an underwater testbed to be located at PNNL-Sequim.
The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL), part of PNNL, in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.
A special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal, titled “Utilizing Offshore Resources for Renewable Energy Development,” focuses on research and development efforts including those at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).
The Ocean Observing Prize is a competitive incentive program to help inventors advance new concepts for marine energy technologies that can power ocean observing systems, particularly those that inform us about hurricane formation.
PNNL lighting experts partnered with the city of Chicago to help identify the best street lighting technology and field validation approaches to Chicago’s outdoor lighting modernization effort.
On World Oceans Day, an international team of marine scientists reports that the potential impact of marine renewable energy to marine life is likely small or undetectable, though some uncertainty remains.
PNNL study evaluated "tunable" lighting and its effects on sleep at study in a California nursing home. Tunable refers to the ability to adjust LED light output and the warmth or coolness of the light color.
Advancements such as LEDs have changed consumers’ experience with lighting. Whereas there was once a simple choice of how much light a consumer desired, there’s now a variety of choices to be made about the appearance of light.
A staple in horror movies, flickering lights can also summon potential human health and productivity concerns. PNNL studied hand-held meters that measure flicker, and the results could improve future measurement and lighting strategies.
PNNL’s Solid State Lighting program evaluated the energy and photometric performance of adjustable LED lighting systems installed in three California classrooms as part of a GATEWAY study.
