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.
PNNL’s patented Shear Assisted Processing and Extrusion (ShAPE™) technique is an advanced manufacturing technology that enables better-performing materials and components while offering opportunities to reduce costs and energy consumption.
The next-generation ShAPE machine has arrived at PNNL, where it will help prove the mettle of the ShAPE extrusion technique. ShAPE 2 is designed to allow researchers to produce larger, more complex extrusions.
The Health Physics Society has selected Jonathan Napier, a PNNL environmental health physicist, to serve as a delegate to the International Radiation Protection Association’s General Assembly.
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.
The Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office recently issued two awards to researchers at PNNL for their contributions to areas that are crucial for the expansion of electric vehicles.
Bradley Crowell with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission sees advanced materials integrity, radiological measurement, and environmental capabilities on his first visit to PNNL.
Research published in Journal of Manufacturing Processes demonstrates innovative single-step method to manufacture oxide dispersion strengthened copper materials from powder.
