A recent edition of the Infrastructure Resilience Research Group Journal featured an article written by PNNL researchers Rob Siefken and Jake Burns about “Design Basis Threat and the Low Threat Environment.”

Through two U.S. Department of Energy funding calls awarded in 2020, PNNL is partnering with industry and academia to advance battery materials and processes.

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

As COVID-19 was limiting in-person contact, halting travel, and creating additional barriers, researchers at PNNL were working to find solutions on how they could still get work done while establishing new safety protocols.

PNNL’s Fred Morris was awarded the National Nuclear Security Administration Administrator Lifetime Achievement and Distinguished Service Silver awards.

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 and Oklahoma State University join forces to understand the chemistry of sodium-ion and potassium-ion batteries thanks to an award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).

PNNL’s Patrick Balducci delivered an information-packed tutorial on grid energy storage valuation at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.

The Energy Storage System Safety and Reliability Forum at PNNL brought together more than 120 energy storage experts from the U.S. Department of Energy, the national laboratories, utilities, industry and academia.

Scientists have witnessed the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, a critical component in lithium-ion batteries.

PNNL will lead three new grid modernization projects funded by the Department of Energy. The projects focus on scalability and usability, networked microgrids, and machine learning for a more resilient, flexible and secure power grid.

Three Pacific Northwest National Laboratory researchers have received Young Investigator Awards, providing funding for innovative battery research.

With support from DOE’s Office of Electricity and National Grid, PNNL led a groundbreaking study to accurately assess the full value of grid energy storage investments across a wide variety of use cases.

Energy storage is slowly shifting utility planning practices from the current paradigm, which ensures grid reliability by building reserve generation resources, to ensuring grid reliability by optimizing grid services.

An organic molecule used in dyes and antibiotics may be the key to less expensive, more efficient redox flow batteries.
