The E-COMP Initiative is creating new capabilities that enable the optimized design and operation of energy systems subject to multiple objectives and with high levels of power electronics.

PNNL and collaborators have established a national heat pump and heat pump water heater partnership to help drive adoption of these energy-saving technologies in both residential and commercial buildings.

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

Poorly insulated walls in residential buildings waste an estimated quadrillion+ Btus of energy per year. Upgrading windows and insulation during re-siding projects is a unique, cost-effective opportunity to improve efficiency and comfort.

PNNL is working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy to create a prototype system that enables homes to help provide services to the power grid while delivering economic benefits to residents.

National laboratories, industry and academia are collaborating to provide electric vehicle manufacturers with batteries that are more reliable, high-performing, safe, and less expensive.
