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.

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

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

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.

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

Input from humans helps when deciding whether to trust the recommendations or decisions of a machine-learning system.

Developed with community input, the new Hydropower Vision Roadmap lays out a path to achieve a shared vison for modern hydropower by 2050.

Recovery Simulator and Analysis tool further strengthens PNNL’s short-term resilience planning efforts for Puerto Rico.

ExaGO, a power grid simulation and optimization platform developed at PNNL is the first of its kind to run on Frontier.

Daniel Deng, mechanical engineer and Laboratory Fellow at PNNL, has been named 2022 PNNL Inventor of the Year.

Zhenyu (Henry) Huang acts as guest editor in an upcoming special issue on “Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Power and Energy Systems." The special edition is published by Elsevier.

Fish biologist Brenda Pracheil has been named chair of the Low Impact Hydropower Institute focused on reduction of impacts of hydropower dams on the environment.

Near-real-time fish tracking using a new acoustic receiver developed by PNNL can support enhanced fish passage through hydropower dams.

EGRASS helps prepare and fortify critical structures to protect against the worst consequences of new hurricanes.

A new fitness tracker that’s very much like a ‘Fitbit for fish’ is revealing new information about fish health and behavior.

COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

A unique data set following Chinook salmon as they negotiate hydroelectric dams on the Columbia River is now available to researchers worldwide.

COVID-19 had multiple impacts on the electric sector and the nature of those impacts varied on the scale analyzed.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.
