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.

A software suite for working with neutron activation rates measured in a nuclear fission reactor, an accelerator-based neutron source, or any neutron field to determine the neutron flux spectrum using a generalized least-squares approach.

STOMP is a suite of numerical simulators for solving problems involving coupled flow and transport processes in the subsurface. The suite of STOMP simulators is distinguished by application areas and solved mathematical equations.

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

The Triton Initiative was created to help the marine energy industry better understand the environmental impacts of marine energy devices.

UTEP and PNNL are advancing the collective scientific impact of both institutions through collaborations between PNNL researchers and UTEP faculty, as well as by building on the complementary strengths to grow a diverse STEM workforce.

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 water quality research and tools help inform hydropower decisions and operations.

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.
