The National Transmission Planning Study presents several transmission expansion scenarios that would reliably support the growing demand for energy across the nation.
Although climate change may bring increased precipitation to many parts of the United States, some areas may face drier conditions and lower streamflow, resulting in decreased hydropower generation.
Climate change is bringing more extreme summer weather, from heat waves to hurricanes, that can disrupt the flow of electricity. Here’s how PNNL scientists are working on solutions to protect the nation’s electric grid.
The first-of-its kind vessel will allow researchers to transport large equipment and take measurements in near-silence with reduced impact on wildlife.
ChatGrid™ is a practical application of the Department of Energy’s exascale computing efforts and offers a new experience in easy, intuitive, and interactive data interaction.
Visual Sample Plan, a free software tool developed at PNNL that boosts statistics-based planning, has been recognized with a 2024 Federal Laboratory Consortium Award.
An energy expert and economist who has played a leading role in formulating and coordinating U.S. climate policy is the new director of the Joint Global Change Research Institute in College Park, Maryland.
A newly developed, highly conductive copper wire could find applications in the electric grid, as well as in homes and businesses. The finding defies what's been thought about how metals conduct electricity.
