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.
A research project that brings together mathematicians and atmospheric scientists has developed into a deep collaboration for improving atmospheric models.
With quantum chemistry, researchers led by PNNL computational scientist Simone Raugei are discovering how enzymes such as nitrogenase serve as natural catalysts that efficiently break apart molecular bonds to control energy and matter.
PNNL highlights four researchers whose joint appointments are creating new and diverse opportunities for expanding knowledge and scientific impact across institutions.
Using public data from the entire 1,500-square-mile Los Angeles metropolitan area, PNNL researchers reduced the time needed to create a traffic congestion model by an order of magnitude, from hours to minutes.
PNNL researchers have shown an improved binarized neural network can deliver a low-cost and low-energy computation to help the performance of smart devices and the power grid.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers developed a graphical processing unit (GPU)-centered quantum computer simulator that can be 10 times faster than any other quantum computer simulator.
PNNL’s new Smart Power Grid Simulator, or Smart-PGSim, combines high-performance computing and artificial intelligence to optimize power grid simulations without sacrificing accuracy.
Tracking down nefarious users is just one example of work at PNNL’s Center for Advanced Technology Evaluation, a computing proving ground supported by DOE’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers used machine learning to explore the largest water clusters database, identifying—with the most accurate neural network—important information about this life-essential molecule.
Making sure there’s enough electricity at the lowest price is a critical endeavor undertaken daily by electricity market operators. Now, there’s an approach that provides more timely and accurate information to make day-ahead decisions.
