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.

The HydroPASSAGE project addresses hydropower challenges, which include efforts to improve environmental performance of hydropower.

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

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.

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.

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