At the second Grid Resilience to Extreme Events Summit, a diverse range of experts gathered to tackle the biggest challenges in building a resilient grid.

In a study off the West Coast, researchers find that although seabirds generally soar underneath the height of possible future wind turbine blades, more work is being done to fully understand seabird flight behavior.

PNNL computing experts Robert Rallo and Court Corley contribute their knowledge to a recent DOE report on applications of AI to energy, materials, and the power grid.

A new quantum algorithm speeds up simulations of coupled oscillator dynamics.

IEEE Power and Energy Society Task Force Focused on Equity and Energy Justice, led by PNNL staff member Bethel Tarekegne, guides important changes in energy policy and regulation.

As new paradigms in advanced computing take shape, computational chemistry researchers are finding new ways to solve challenging chemistry problems.

Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.

New methodological approach demonstrates how to assess the economic value, including non-traditional value streams, of converting non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities.

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

In 2006, battery research was practically non-existent at PNNL. Today, the lab is lauded for its battery research. How did PNNL go from a new player to a leader in state-of-the-art storage for EVs and the grid?

In a new approach, quantum flow algorithms are used to simulate many-body systems on quantum computers and effectively describe chemical processes.

New research identifies the most important factors in successful fish passage, pointing toward new options for flexible dam operations.

Wei Du will lead one of PNNL and Washington State University’s joint institutes.

PNNL’s Chris Chini has been named a guest editor of Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability’s special issue examining energy infrastructure vulnerabilities from physical and natural threats.

PNNL scientists have put forth a new approach to protect the electric grid, creating an approach that sorts and prioritizes cyber threats on the fly.

The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.

Results of the PR100 study outline near- and short-term strategies for Puerto Rico to achieve a renewable power grid by 2050.

PNNL had a significant presence at October’s North American Wind Energy Academy/WindTech 2023 Conference in Denver, Colorado. Thirteen PNNL wind experts participated in various capacities.

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.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.
