PNNL is leading the nation with research addressing urgent needs for reimagining U.S. critical infrastructure against the realities of software-speed attacks and hazards.

A report on the projected effects of climate change on federal hydropower through the end of the twenty-first century.

PNNL and ORNL are working together on Digital Twins to modernize the U.S. hydropower plant fleet, which will reduce operating costs, improve reliability, reduce downtime, enhance grid resiliency, and reduce environmental impacts.

New report examining multiple decades of climate and hydropower generation data provides insights into resilience of the western hydropower fleet.

The Flow Tradeoff Tool is a free, comprehensive software toolkit designed to evaluate trade-offs between hydropower energy production and environmental flows.

A new set of resources from PNNL helps guide dam owners and operators through response and recovery actions in the wake of cybersecurity or unusual incidents.

HydroWIRES initiative helps water stakeholders reap the full benefit of hydropower’s superpower: versatility

Researchers are bridging hydropower data gaps for unrivaled forecasting precision to support grid resilience.

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.
