In an era of increasing penetration of renewable energy and enhanced complexity in electrical networks, dynamic load modelling has emerged as a crucial research area. This approach involves developing ...

Theory, computation, and simulation are foundational to modern energy research. Theoretical understanding reveals why materials and systems behave as they do, predicting performance before experiments ...

Power, once considered an all-but afterthought in system design and well behind performance and area, now leads as the first consideration in PPA (power, performance, area). Dynamic power consumption ...

Data scientist Tianzhixi “Tim” Yin is among many scientists at PNNL working to increase confidence in artificial intelligence when it comes to electric grid operations. When we flip the light switch ...

Located in the William Pennington Engineering Building on the University of Nevada, Reno, campus, the Power System Research Lab is the only institution in Nevada with a cyber-physical power system ...

Accurately forecasting future electricity needs is tricky, with sudden weather changes and other variables impacting projections minute by minute. Errors can have grave repercussions, from blackouts ...

One concern some observers raise about the growth of inverter-based resources, such as solar, wind, and battery storage, supplying the power grid is that they don’t provide inertia. Inertia has ...
