Joint Center for Energy Storage Research
PNNL is one of five national laboratory JCESR -- a bold effort to transform the way we store energy to power vehicles and the electric grid.
Stronger Cobalt for Fuel Cells
PNNL led a multi-institutional effort to design a highly active and more durable catalyst made from cobalt, which sets the foundation for fuel cells to power transportation, stationary and backup power, and more.
Climate Events Create Compound Challenges for Electricity Planning
Researchers at PNNL used key metrics to develop visualizations that show how the combined effects of climate change on hydropower and load influence the frequency, duration, and severity of power shortfalls.
Addressing Grid Vulnerabilities with E-COMP
PNNL's E-COMP initiative is helping unleash American energy innovation with advanced theories, models, and software tools to better operate power systems that rely heavily on high-speed power electronic control.
Coal-to-X Fact Sheets
The coal-to-X fact sheets summarize key considerations for repurposing retired coal power plants to new uses.
PNNL Partnering on Center for Hydrogen Safety
Many industries are increasingly looking at hydrogen as a relatively new but efficient, clean, and quiet power source.
Flow Battery Based on PNNL Chemistry Commissioned
A record-breaking vanadium flow battery that's based on PNNL chemistry has been installed at a power substation near Everett, Wash.
Maritime Energy Innovation
PNNL is a leader in multiple areas of shore power and port electrification research related to maritime ports, inland ports, and airports.
Smart Ideas Wanted for Grid Modernization
Plug and Play DER Challenge seeks to enable distributed energy technologies to integrate, connect and operate in harmony on the power grid.
Redox Flow Battery Laboratories
PNNL has a series of three laboratories dedicated to researching, testing redox, and scaling up flow batteries—a battery type used primarily for power grid applications.
