If you’re not sure whether rooftop solar panels and battery energy storage systems are right for you, start with this new guide from PNNL researchers.

PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.

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

Two renewable energy approaches—enhanced geothermal systems and floating offshore wind energy—get new focus as Energy Earthshot™ Research Centers at PNNL.

Research shows that coupling geothermal power plants with lithium extraction from geothermal brine would make geothermal energy more economically viable, providing renewable energy and valuable raw materials.

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

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.

This PNNL-developed separation system quickly and successfully separates larger particles from smaller ones at various scales, in different solid-liquid mixtures and at different flow rates.

Members of a geothermal energy collaboration go deep—real deep—to install a first-of-its kind system for evaluating interactions among water and rock.

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.

A team led by researchers at PNNL demonstrated a new way to monitor deep subsurface fractures.

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.
