Fast Flow Future for Heavy-Duty Hydrogen Trucks
As the culmination of two years of work on the Innovating High Throughput Hydrogen Stations (IHS) Project, NREL researchers have successfully demonstrated high-flow-rate hydrogen fueling into a heavy-duty (HD) vehicle system.
How Will Hydropower Bolster a Renewable Energy World?
Energy storage is expected to play a big role in tomorrow's clean energy grid. To help guide future development of pumped storage hydropower facilities in the United States, NREL researchers developed a new interactive map and geospatial dataset to identify potential installation sites and estimate the quantity, quality, and cost of resources available at each.
Decarbonizing Windows Takes a Big Step Toward Industry Certification
In our world where windowless buildings rarely exist, the subtle significance of windows can easily be lost. Today, windows are responsible for about 10% of energy use in buildings and influence end uses that comprise 40% of building energy use.
A Decade of Transformation: What We Have Learned Since RE Futures Showed What Was Possible
Ten years after visionary renewable electricity futures study showed an 80% renewable U.S. Grid was possible, NREL experts recount how they've built on those findings in the decade since—and what is next.
NREL Senior Scientist Steve Johnston Receives American Solar Energy Society Award
NREL Senior Scientist Steve Johnston has been selected as a recipient of the 2022 American Solar Energy Society (ASES) Hoyt Clarke Hottel Award.
Solar Decathlon Expands, Bringing Zero-Energy Programs to High School Students and Mid-Career Professionals
At the DOE Solar Decathlon 2022 Competition Event, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm announced the launch of two Solar Decathlon workforce development programs to bring the collegiate competition's sustainable buildings expertise, experience, and mentorship into high school classrooms and architectural studios across the country.
How Not To Short-Circuit the Clean Energy Transition
A new video and report explain why fault protection should be on grid planners' radar as the power system continues to evolve.
Jerry Davis Named Laboratory Program Manager for ARIES Research Platform and Energy Systems Integration Facility
Jerry Davis has been selected as the new Laboratory Program Manager for two of NREL's leading research capabilities: the Advanced Research on Integrated Energy Systems (ARIES) research platform and the Energy Systems Integration Facility (ESIF).
Q&A With Jordan Burns: A Community-Driven Approach to Energy Resilience
Jordan Burns is a risk and resilience researcher helping communities reach their energy goals through the DOE's Energy Transitions Initiative. She uses a community-driven approach to understand placed-based resilience solutions that can be incorporated into local strategic clean energy plans.
Renewables Become Leader in Grid Resilience
A demonstration of outage recovery using inverter-based resources is showing how renewable energy can lead the way to power system resilience.
