A team of researchers at PNNL has created a publicly available Hydropower eLibrary to improve access to information that could help streamline the FERC environmental review and licensing process.

PNNL will lead support to one of six community teams chosen today by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive a total of up to $25 million.

PNNL energy storage experts express need for continued investment in developing and deploying long-duration energy storage.

PNNL welcomes six Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research awardees from across the nation.

A new flow battery design achieves long life and capacity for grid energy storage from renewable fuels.

A new sodium battery technology shows promise for helping integrate renewable energy into the electric grid. The battery uses Earth-abundant raw materials such as aluminum and sodium.

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.

Five staff members from PNNL received awards from the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program for contributions to projects for the U.S. Army.

PNNL gathered researchers from eight national laboratories plus the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to share ideas and build synergy at the Energy Equity and Environmental Justice Summit.

Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

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

Researchers studied water cycling to assess the achievability of net-zero water usage at military installations in the Pacific Islands.

New research simulates power demand, supply, and cost in a hotter, drier climate.

PNNL researchers developed a new model to help power system operators and planners better evaluate how grid-forming, inverter-based resources could affect the system stability.

New facility will accelerate energy storage innovation, increase clean energy adoption and grid resilience.

Scientists have created a battery designed for the electric grid that locks in energy for months without losing much storage capacity.

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 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.

Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.
