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.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory’s Jie Xiao was honored December 10th with the 2020 Rising Star Award by Materials Today.

PNNL led a multi-institutional effort to design a highly active and more durable catalyst made from cobalt, which sets the foundation for fuel cells to power transportation, stationary and backup power, and more.

David Manz is a cybersecurity researcher who is working with cyber-physical systems to better protect the critical infrastructure.

Scientists have created a single-crystal, nickel-rich cathode that is hardier and more efficient than before—important progress on the road to better lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.

Clarivate Analytics recently unveiled its 2020 list of Highly Cited Researchers. The list named 17 PNNL scientists for their influential and oft-referenced work.

PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.

Controlled synthesis and processing allow researchers to test how ions move through energy-relevant materials.

PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.

PNNL is one of the collaborating partners on a new grid-scale solar and energy storage installation near the PNNL campus in a project led by Energy Northwest.

PNNL’s new Smart Power Grid Simulator, or Smart-PGSim, combines high-performance computing and artificial intelligence to optimize power grid simulations without sacrificing accuracy.

In a new video series, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain throughout the fall. Each was promoted to scientist and engineer level 5 earlier this year.

PNNL researchers developed two web-based tools to assess and mitigate cyberthreats to utilities—inside and outside their firewalls. Both are low cost and can be used by control room operators who are not cybersecurity experts.

PNNL researchers established an Internet of Things Common Operating Environment (IoTCOE) laboratory to explore the risks associated with IoT connectivity to the internet, the energy grid and other critical infrastructures.

PNNL and the Georgia Institute of Technology vow to collaborate more impactfully and more often in a new MOU announced October 23, 2020.

Tracking down nefarious users is just one example of work at PNNL’s Center for Advanced Technology Evaluation, a computing proving ground supported by DOE’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research program.

Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.

Sharon Hammes-Schiffer, deputy director of the Center for Molecular Electrocatalysis (CME), has received awards from both the Royal Society of Chemistry and the American Chemical Society.

Making sure there’s enough electricity at the lowest price is a critical endeavor undertaken daily by electricity market operators. Now, there’s an approach that provides more timely and accurate information to make day-ahead decisions.
