The Center for Understanding Subsurface Signals and Permeability (CUSSP) Energy Earthshot Research Center (EERC) is working to develop the ability to predict and control fluid flow through fracture networks in enhanced geothermal systems.
PNNL’s pioneering CETC project with regional universities demonstrates transactive controls among multiple commercial buildings and devices for energy efficiency and grid reliability.
E4D is a 3D geophysical modeling and inversion program designed for subsurface imaging and monitoring using static and time-lapse electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), spectral induced polarization (SIP) and travel-time tomography data.
PNNL is a leader in the integration of aberration-corrected electron microscopy, in-situ techniques, and atom probe tomography to address challenges in nuclear materials, environmental remediation, energy storage, and national security.
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.
Physics-informed machine learning (PIML) is a modeling approach that harnesses the power of machine learning and big data to improve the understanding of coupled, dynamic systems.
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.
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.
