Chemist Wendy Shaw, a nationally recognized scientific leader, has been chosen to serve as the associate laboratory director for PNNL's Physical and Computational Sciences Directorate.

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.

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.

The Grid Storage Launchpad will enable researchers to accelerate and validate new battery materials and systems.

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

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.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels.

A new sodium battery technology shows promise for helping integrate renewable energy into the electric grid. The battery uses Earth-abundant raw materials such as aluminum and sodium.

Scientists have created a battery designed for the electric grid that locks in energy for months without losing much storage capacity.

Technology designed to bolster the electric grid and store large amounts of energy from renewable sources is available for licensing.

A compound used in candles offers promise for a modern energy challenge—storing massive amounts of energy to be fed into the electric grid as the need arises.

A simple sensor system developed at PNNL can prevent dangerous battery fires.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

New facility that will accelerate energy storage innovation and make the nation’s power grid more resilient, secure and flexible has been given the green light to proceed by the U.S. Department of Energy.

First-ever measurements provide evidence that supercooled water exists in two distinct structures that co-exist and vary in proportion dependent on temperature.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.
