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.

Electrical engineer Aditya Ashok and cybersecurity researcher Thomas Edgar win best paper award for their work to create a new high-fidelity dataset that will help advance cybersecurity solutions for critical infrastructure protection.

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.

Alison Colotelo, senior research scientist and project manager, has been selected for the Hydropower Foundation advisory board.

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.

Red teaming for CPS, the process of challenging systems, involves a group of cybersecurity experts to emulate end-to-end cyberattacks following a set of realistic tactics, techniques, and procedures.

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.

Today’s critical infrastructure systems are increasingly vulnerable to attacks that could cripple civil society, according to cybersecurity experts.

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.

The American Society for Quality (ASQ) has recognized Laboratory Fellow and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) Statistician Greg Piepel with the William G. Hunter Award.

PNNL team has developed and implemented a generalizable computational framework to study the resilience of the multilayered London Rail Network to the compound threat of intense flooding and a targeted cyberattack.

PNNL scientists have created a tool called WatchOwl to collect more than 4 million tweets per day related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tool analyzes tweets related to interventions like social distancing and movement restrictions.

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

PNNL researchers Lisa Bramer and Sarah Reehl were on a team that received a patent for its work with electron microscopy. Electron microscopy allows scientists to make nanoscale observations of materials.

The National Association of Mathematics named PNNL Data Analyst Brett Jefferson best speaker for his presentation on an innovative mathematical finding that could be used to improve electric grid coverage.
