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.
Battery energy storage systems are being proposed in municipalities across the U.S. PNNL researchers can help community planners guide safe siting and operations.
PNNL researchers are helping to better define the need for grid energy storage in future clean energy scenarios, as well as working to improve technologies for storing renewable energy so it's available when and where it's needed.
PNNL battery researcher Jie Xiao collaborates with academic and industry partners to address scientific challenges in manufacturing lithium-based batteries.
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.
PNNL Biomedical Scientist Geremy Clair has taken on new roles as an editor for two journals; Frontiers In Cellular And Infection Microbiology and Frontiers In Molecular Biosciences.
Read interviews with the new Laboratory fellows to learn about their contributions to their field, what drives them, and how their research is making the nation safer, greener, and more resilient.
