U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

PNNL has released the first version of ExaGO, an open-source grid modeling software that can take advantage of emerging heterogeneous computing architecture to help grid operators plan ahead for extreme events.

Vigorous and rapid air exchanges might not always be a good thing when it comes to levels of coronavirus particles in a multiroom building, according to a new modeling study.

New approach allows nonexperts to optimize control of a building's energy systems without adding computing power or proprietary software.

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 data scientists Ján Drgoňa and Draguna Vrabie are working to reduce deployment costs of advanced energy control systems for buildings.

The PNNL-developed VOLTTRON™ software platform’s advancement has benefited from a community-driven approach. The technology has been used in buildings nationwide, including most recently on a university campus.

A trio of researchers from PNNL were recognized for their efforts to develop and administer DOE’s Grid Optimization Competition.

PNNL employs deep learning strategies to advance Model Predictive Control (MPC), a highly promising solution for intelligent building operations.

PNNL’s Intelligent Load Control technology manages and adjusts electricity use in buildings when there’s peak demand on the power grid.

A PNNL technology enables automated Economic Dispatch, which coordinates the use of energy in a manner that enhances distributed generation, efficiency, renewables, and grid reliability.
