A webapp developed by PNNL in collaboration with the University of Washington to help drive efficiencies for urban delivery drivers is now in the prototype stage and ready for testing.
PNNL and four other national laboratories executed the Hydropower Value Study to examine hydropower operations in different regions of the United States.
Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.
PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.
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 has earned “Best Paper” at an international resilience conference for research on hydropower’s capabilities and constraints in the event of extreme events, like hurricanes and rolling blackouts.
Researchers at PNNL are contributing artificial intelligence, machine learning, and app development expertise to a U of W project that will ease challenges with urban freight delivery. The project will provide delivery drivers with a tool
Pumped-storage hydropower offers the most cost-effective storage option for shifting large volumes of energy. A PNNL-led team wrote a report comparing cost and performance factors for 10 storage technologies.
Researchers at PNNL used key metrics to develop visualizations that show how the combined effects of climate change on hydropower and load influence the frequency, duration, and severity of power shortfalls.
