The Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL) is a national capability for energy storage research funded by the Department of Energy Office of Electricity and located on the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) campus in Richland, Washington
PNNL administers two research buoys for the U.S. Department of Energy that allows collection of wind meteorological and oceanographic data off the nation's coasts.
PNNL and the United States Geological Survey are partnering to develop a buoy-based radar system capable of measuring bird and bat abundances and behaviors at offshore locations.
National laboratories, industry and academia are collaborating to provide electric vehicle manufacturers with batteries that are more reliable, high-performing, safe, and less expensive.
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.
