Electrical engineer Tom McDermott has been named the winner of a power distribution engineering award.

PNNL is developing the Digital Twins for Hydropower framework to help the industry to affordably modernize the aging hydropower fleet.

PNNL and four other national laboratories executed the Hydropower Value Study to examine hydropower operations in different regions of the United States.

A shoe scanner may allow people passing through security screening to keep their shoes on. PNNL built the scanner based on the same technology it used to develop airport scanners. It's licensed to Liberty Defense.

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.

PNNL researchers Leo Fifield, Mike Larche, and Bishnu Bhattarai were recently elected to the board of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Richland, Washington section.

PNNL researchers simulated residential battery use and found in-home energy storage can benefit both the power grid and homeowners.

Ultra-trace radiation detection technique sets new global standard for measuring the nearly immeasurable.

PNNL has published a report that sets the foundation for modeling gaps and technical challenges in optimizing hydropower operations for both energy production and water management.

In a new video series this fall, PNNL is highlighting six scientific and technical experts in the national security domain. Each was promoted to Scientist and Engineer Level 5, one of PNNL’s most senior research roles.

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.

PNNL has earned “Best Paper” at an international resilience conference for research on hydropower’s capabilities and constraints in the event of extreme events, like hurricanes and rolling blackouts.

Five PNNL technologies were recently awarded six R&D 100 honors. The R&D 100 Awards, now in its 58th year, recognize pioneers in science and technology from industry, the federal government, and academia.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

A PNNL research team compared two types of pumped storage hydropower (open and closed loop) to identify potential environmental impacts.

A technology that can quickly detect explosive vapors, deadly chemicals and illicit drugs with unparalleled accuracy has been named the 2020 Innovation of the Year by GeekWire, the Seattle-based technology news company.

PNNL is managing the Data Archive and Portal, which provides the wind research community with secure, timely, easy, and open access to all data brought in from research under DOE’s Atmosphere to Electrons program.

Pumped-storage hydropower offers the most cost-effective storage option for shifting large volumes of energy. A PNNL-led team wrote a report comparing cost and performance factors for 10 storage technologies.

Vapor detection technology developed at PNNL can quickly and accurately identify explosives, deadly chemicals, and illicit drugs.

PNNL researchers are developing the only tool that can control large-scale distributed energy resources in real time.
