PNNL's accomplishments in FY 2024 help address the remaining challenges the wind industry faces.

PNNL teamed up with multiple agencies to install a battery energy storage system at a South Dakota Air Force base.

Ryan Eddy, director of homeland security programs at PNNL, was recognized as one of 50 trailblazers by Homeland Security Today.

With the launch of a large research barge, PNNL and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development.

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.

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.

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.

This is the first time a flow battery with 24-hour discharge capacity will be deployed and tested in a field environment.

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.

For her most recent efforts, Bruckner-Lea, a senior technical advisor at PNNL, received the Secretary’s Appreciation Award from the U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm in July.

Regional wind data helps utilities save money, plan for windy days.

PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.

PNNL’s Katie Arkema was selected to be on NASEM committee focused on public health and conservation.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

For a second year in a row, doctoral intern Jack Watson was awarded the Student Merit Award by the Society for Risk Analysis and the Resilience Analysis Specialty group.

Five staff members from PNNL received awards from the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program for contributions to projects for the U.S. Army.

A new version of the Department of Energy’s Technical Resilience Navigator allows users to prioritize resilience solutions based on both risk reduction and emissions impact.

Researchers studied water cycling to assess the achievability of net-zero water usage at military installations in the Pacific Islands.

Arun Veeramany furthers the field of risk, reliability, and resilience in civil and mechanical engineering in his new role as an American Society of Civil Engineers-American Society of Mechanical Engineers journal editorial board member.

Sue Southard's one thousand dives as a PNNL staff member leave a ripple effect on efforts to keep our ocean healthy, our economy thriving, and our waters safe.
