PNNL and collaborators developed new models—recently approved by the U.S. Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC)—to help utilities understand how new grid-forming inverter technology will enhance grid stability.
Understanding the risk of compound energy droughts—times when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow—will help grid planners understand where energy storage is needed most.
PNNL led one of five Pathway Summer School programs nationwide, with a specific focus on engaging students from Native American or Indigenous backgrounds.
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.
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.
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.
PNNL licensed two technologies to generate hydrogen. One, a reactor design, generates hydrogen from natural gas. The second innovation uses a 3D printing method to economically manufacture the generator.
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.
Study says planners need to account for climate impacts on renewable energy during capacity development planning to fully understand investment implications to the power sector.
