Secretary Wright visited PNNL's campus in Richland, Washington, late last year to meet with innovators in chemistry, biology, computing, and more.

PNNL offers a third-party testing environment to provide battery companies with independent data about their grid-scale systems.

A modeling study shows that adding batteries to a dam could decrease the wear and tear on hydropower turbines and open up new opportunities for dam operators to earn revenue.

Van Cleve guides conversations on national grid modernization strategies, reinforcing PNNL’s role in connecting science, policy, and industry.

Delivering excellence in power systems and electric grid advancement earns two PNNLers the association’s top distinction.

For nearly 20 years, PNNL has invested in a multidisciplinary effort to develop better batteries.

GSL's utility-grade battery testing operation is now fully operational.

Distributed science is thriving at PNNL, where scientists share data and collaborate with researchers around the world to increase the impact of the work.

The ability of a storm-resolving weather model to predict the growth of storms over central Argentina was evaluated with data from the Clouds, Aerosols, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign in central Argentina.

Big energy storage science is brewing at GSL just one year after its groundbreaking.

From vehicles and airplanes to solid-phase processing of metals—how Curt Lavender and his team at PNNL solve industry problems with practical ingenuity.

The Low-cost Earth-abundant Na-ion Storage consortium is a major effort to create superior, no-compromise batteries that replace lithium with inexpensive, domestically abundant sodium and use few—if any—critical materials.

Atmospheric aerosol particles modulate climate and the Earth’s energy balance by scattering and absorbing sunlight. They also seed clouds, acting as cloud condensation nuclei.

Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE) imparts significantly more deformation compared to conventional extrusion. The latest ShAPE system at PNNL, ShAPEshifter, is a purpose-built machine designed for maximum configurability.

Extensive in situ and remote sensing measurements were collected to address data gaps and better understand the interactions of convective clouds and the surrounding environment.

Matt Fayette, a materials scientist, is testing a new method to extend battery life for grid storage by circulating the electrolyte.

Ampcera has an exclusive licensing agreement with PNNL to commercially develop and license a new battery material for applications such as vehicles and personal electronics.

Funded by DOE’s Office of Electricity, the GSL at PNNL has been recognized by BCI for accelerating the deployment of grid-ready storage solutions.

Backed by $75,000 in Department of Energy funding from the Office of Electricity, a PNNL researcher works to refine solid-state sodium batteries for the grid.
