PNNL’s pioneering CETC project with regional universities demonstrates transactive controls among multiple commercial buildings and devices for energy efficiency and grid reliability.
In January 2024, CESER—in partnership with GDO, NASEO, and PNNL—created a set of state energy security cohorts to support the coordination and technical development of state energy security planning, assessment, and mitigation.
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 is laying the groundwork for advancing energy equity and environmental justice through research to develop an innovative energy system that benefits everyone
By improving the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF)-Solar model, this project aims to reduce forecast errors, improve sub-grid scale variability estimates, and more accurately estimate forecast uncertainty.
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.
FEMP's operations and maintenance (O&M) resources offer federal agencies technology- and management-focused guidance to improve energy and water efficiency and ensure safer and more reliable operations.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has pioneered the use of observational research for evaluating energy efficient technologies in the built environment.
PNNL wind energy experts are helping to design a new avian radar system that will be equipped on lidar buoys to detect avian activity over open water and near offshore wind turbines.
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.
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.
PNNL researchers developed and manage the online database Tethys to actively collects and curates information on the environmental effects of wind and marine energy.
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.
