PNNL’s Nell Byler and Elise Bishoff shared their computer vision expertise with high school students at the National Science Bowl Science Day

Researchers seek to bring down costs, address potential environmental risks and maximize the benefits of harnessing wind energy above the deep waters of the Pacific.

The nation is closer to its offshore wind energy goals than ever before, but better wind forecasting is still needed. To address this challenge, PNNL and collaborators are charting a new course with help from novel technology.

PNNL had a significant presence at October’s North American Wind Energy Academy/WindTech 2023 Conference in Denver, Colorado. Thirteen PNNL wind experts participated in various capacities.

Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.

Researchers unveil user-friendly software to keep complex projects on budget and on schedule.

Regional wind data helps utilities save money, plan for windy days.

A research buoy managed by PNNL has been deployed in Hawai’ian waters, collecting oceanographic and meteorological measurements off the coast of O’ahu.

PNNL is making waves in pursuit of a blue economy. Researchers are advancing science and technology to expand—and protect—the gifts of the sea.

Multidisciplinary teams from research and industry are brought together using management systems developed by a team of software engineers at PNNL.

A new web-based tool provides easy-to-understand progress metrics and other data about groundwater cleanup sites overseen by the DOE Office of Environmental Management.

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.

Anika Halappanavar’s research into COVID-19 misinformation earned her recognition by the Washington State Academy of Sciences as one of the state’s top high school researchers.

When training for chemical and biological threats, in-person exercises and drills can be very limited due to the hazardous nature of the agent.

PNNL’s Data Archive and Portal that stores and disseminates wind energy data recently reached a major milestone: 1,000 users and growing.

PNNL data scientists Svitlana Volkova and Emily Saldanha, along with former PNNL intern Pamela Bilo Thomas, will publish their research on online information spread in Nature's Scientific Reports.

As a member of the NAM board of directors, Brett Jefferson, PNNL data scientist, will help lead the professional association’s mission to advance mathematical excellence of underrepresented minorities.

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 researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.

PNNL deployed two research buoys in waters off the West Coast for the first time in deep water, supporting a DOE and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management effort to gather measurements that support offshore wind locations and technologies.
