A team from PNNL contributed several articles to the Domestic Preparedness Journal showcasing recent efforts to explore the emergency management and artificial intelligence research and development landscape.
With the launch of a large research barge, PNNL and collaborators took another significant step to improve offshore wind forecasting that will lower risk and cost associated with offshore wind energy development.
At the National Homeland Security Conference, researchers shared how partnerships and emerging technologies like artificial intelligence can play a key role in emergency management preparedness and response.
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.
In a study off the West Coast, researchers find that although seabirds generally soar underneath the height of possible future wind turbine blades, more work is being done to fully understand seabird flight behavior.
PNNL advisors joined a panel of Washington State emergency management personnel to discuss how partnerships with national laboratories are enabling science and technology solutions.
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.
At the GovAI Summit 2023, Ryan Eddy joined the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate on a panel highlighting artificial intelligence impacts and opportunities in the field of emergency management.
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.
A team of researchers received an award for their contributions to improving the operational readiness and safety posture of the firefighter community by conducting a rigorous evaluation of commercially available equipment.
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.
Ann Lesperance has been invited to continue her role on the Domestic Preparedness advisory board, which convenes multidisciplinary subject matter experts to support the Domestic Preparedness Journal's editorial plan.
