Despite severe drought, a new report shows that hydropower remains a strong and steadfast contributor of renewable energy in the West.

PNNL experts perform fundamental climate science work at multiple scales to understand impacts on energy, water, food, and infrastructure systems.

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.

A new PNNL study quantifies hydropower's contribution to grid stability. When other power sources go out, hydropower can ramp up, recoup shortfalls, and stabilize the grid nearly instantaneously.

With an eye on renewable, accessible, and resilient power, PNNL researchers show hyper-local microgrids are a viable option, if designed with the right mix of sources.

Free, publicly available tool to help estimate value of pumped storage hydropower project services.

With a focus on prevention, PNNL researchers are working to predict droughts, enhance grid resilience, and manage forests to reduce wildfire.

OpenCGRA expedites the design-prototype cycle of computer architecture development.

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.

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.

For the second straight year, PNNL researchers are featured in a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare. This issue explores the topic of macro cyber resiliency.

Sentry-SECURE is a new communication and response platform developed by PNNL, VPI, and Microsoft Azure that rapidly and securely transfers radiological alarm data through the cloud.

The Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer has given three national awards to PNNL technology teams.

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.

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

PNNL's Sensor Fish were deployed at Ice Harbor Dam to collect data from a new turbine. The data indicates the design changes are making travel through the dam less arduous for fish.

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.

Researchers at PNNL used key metrics to develop visualizations that show how the combined effects of climate change on hydropower and load influence the frequency, duration, and severity of power shortfalls.
