A modeling study shows that adding batteries to a dam could decrease the wear and tear on hydropower turbines and open up new opportunities for dam operators to earn revenue.
The Genesis Mission will mobilize the Department of Energy’s 17 National Laboratories, industry, and academia to build an integrated discovery platform.
PDX, PNNL, and Sandia National Laboratories are exploring the feasibility of hydrogen fuel for the PDX bus fleet—an idea that could have novel benefits for hazard resilience.
The Center for Continuum Computing at PNNL aims to integrate cloud platforms, high-performance computing, and edge devices into a seamless ecosystem that accelerates scientific discovery.
A new analysis shows how renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydropower respond to climate patterns, and how utilities can use this data to save money and invest in energy storage.
After 20 years of contributions to the field of hydrogen safety, the Hydrogen Safety Panel launched its new mentoring program at PNNL earlier this year. Now, the program has selected its first two mentees.
A new digital twin platform can help hydropower dam operators by providing accurate and predictive models of physical turbines that improve facilities and enhance reliability.
In a recent publication in Nature Communications, a team of researchers presents a mathematical theory to address the challenge of barren plateaus in quantum machine learning.
Although climate change may bring increased precipitation to many parts of the United States, some areas may face drier conditions and lower streamflow, resulting in decreased hydropower generation.
The SHASTA program is doing a deep dive on subsurface hydrogen storage in underground caverns, helping to lay the foundation for a robust hydrogen economy.
New methodological approach demonstrates how to assess the economic value, including non-traditional value streams, of converting non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities.
