Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

PNNL researchers developed a new model to help power system operators and planners better evaluate how grid-forming, inverter-based resources could affect the system stability.

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

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

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

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.

Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.

Free, publicly available tool to help estimate value of pumped storage hydropower project services.

Through the Net Zero World Initiative, expertise from DOE national laboratories will be harnessed to put global net zero within reach.

With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.

PNNL is developing the Digital Twins for Hydropower framework to help the industry to affordably modernize the aging hydropower fleet.

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.

A PNNL research team compared two types of pumped storage hydropower (open and closed loop) to identify potential environmental impacts.

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.
