Navigating the challenges of connecting hydropower to the electrical grid

PNNL’s Space Science, Technology, and Policy activities draw on diverse technical expertise and research capabilities from across the Laboratory.

The SEAHORCE project aims to improve the ability of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model to model oceans at higher fidelity than currently possible.

PNNL researchers developed and manage the online database Tethys to actively collects and curates information on the environmental effects of wind and marine energy.

Cataloging and quantifying the economic value of non-traditional value streams in conversions of non-powered dams to hydroelectric facilities

The Water Cycle and Climate Extremes Modeling (WACCEM) Scientific Focus Area advances predictive understanding of water cycle variability and change through foundational research using models, observations, and novel numerical experiments.

PNNL wind energy experts led a project to review existing literature focusing on the technical evaluation of offshore wind energy transmission through potential points of interconnection at the West Coast.
