CRABEE
CRABEE is installed at PNNL-Sequim, providing power and data connectivity to Sequim Bay from the Department of Energy’s only marine research facility.
Tiny Particles Have Outsize Impact on Storm Clouds, Precipitation
Tiny particles fuel powerful storms and influence weather much more than has been appreciated, according to a study by PNNL scientists and colleagues in the journal Science.
Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Energy and Environment
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.
Fish Reintroduction and River Connectivity
Fish reintroduction is the intentional establishment of a fish species in an area where it existed historically prior to hydropower development and other terrain changes to the species’ habitat.
Grid Research Just One Highlight for New PNNL Director
Led by Battelle in collaboration with the Bonneville Power Administration, the Pacific Northwest Smart Grid Demonstration Project is the largest field test of smart grid systems to date.
Turning the Tides
Their consistency and predictability makes tidal energy attractive, not only as a source of electricity but, potentially, as a mechanism to provide reliability and resilience to regional or local power grids.
Seawater Yields First Grams of Yellowcake
For the first time, researchers have created a gram of yellowcake — a powdered form of uranium used to produce fuel for nuclear power production — using modified acrylic fibers to extract it from seawater.
Aquatic Research Laboratory
At the Aquatic Research Laboratory, PNNL scientists explore solutions for our nation’s growing need for energy. Projects are focused on monitoring and predicting the impacts of hydropower development and operation on water.
Response of the Hadley Circulation to Regional Sea Surface Temperature Changes
DOE lab and university researchers used the Community Atmospheric Model 5.3 to investigate the power sea surface temperature has on the intensification or widening of the Hadley cell in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
A Crop Yield Change Emulator for Use in GCAM and Similar Models: Persephone v1.0
Research software aims to formulate an accurate way to explore feedbacks among socioeconomics, Earth system changes, and crop yield changes
