Cassidy Anderson gets her best ideas while hiking through the wilderness. "Rock climbing and backpacking give ideas a chance to surface, instead of having to force them out of yourself," she says. ⛰️🏃♀️🌳 Currently a materials scientist working in our Advanced Battery Facility, Cassidy joined PNNL five years ago. Having helped create a new molecule that can be used in redox-flow batteries during her undergraduate years at UC Santa Barbara, today she wrestles with how to make lithium batteries more powerful and able to hold more energy. "The last five years have been a crash course in batteries [for me]," she says. "PNNL researchers are really leading a lot of the research and creating new knowledge in the field, and they're exciting to work with." 👩🔬🔋 Cassidy will continue her work at the Grid Storage Launchpad (GSL)—PNNL's newest research facility, with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Electricity—where she and fellow researchers will accelerate energy storage development by studying and testing new battery technologies. The GSL opens August 13. Learn more about #EnergyStorage and the #GSLatPNNL: https://bit.ly/4c17omG

PNNL is collaborating with five other Department of Energy national labs on research in support of the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark program, which focuses on the applicability of labeling for operational technology such as solar inverters and smart meters. This research will be especially pertinent to energy sector equipment manufacturers who develop industrial Internet of Things products, and end-users of these products—including both energy sector asset owners and home enthusiasts. We’re excited to share our findings so far and need your feedback as we continue this research! Learn more about the project and provide feedback: https://bit.ly/3Yf9fBg

This #NationalInternDay, we celebrate Madeline Bartels, whose research to verify and quantify carbon mineralization was recently published in the journal Analytical Chemistry. "It's really cool that research I was working on as an undergraduate can possibly make a significant contribution to the field [of carbon dioxide storage] as it is emerging," says Madeline, who participated in a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science program while earning her bachelor’s degree at Yale University. ⛰️⬅️💨 PNNL scientists have developed a process that transforms carbon dioxide into solid rock faster than natural processes alone. Trapping CO₂ in such a way—beneath Earth's surface—can help us combat the carbon emissions driving climate change. Madeline's work helps quantify the mineralization of carbon to the unprecedented specificity of less than 100 parts per million. "Imagine putting a playing card on a football field," she says. "That would be equivalent to the scale of what one part per million would be, but instead we're measuring the amount of carbon minerals in a tiny sample of grinded rock." 🏈🎴🏟️ Check out the feature below to learn more about: 👩🎓 Madeline's DOE Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) 👨🔬 How PNNL researchers know CO₂ has formed into rock ⚛️ What exactly thermogravimetric analysis mass spectrometry (TGA-MS) is and why it's important to help mitigate climate change https://bit.ly/46lLt8v

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Grid Modernization Initiative has announced its strategy for investing in innovative new technologies to modernize today’s power grid while ensuring it remains secure and sustainable. Drawing from the Administration’s goals and power system objectives, the GMI’s updated strategy defines six pillars to guide its work: 1) Devices and Integrated Systems; 2) Operations 3) Planning; 4) Markets, Policies, and Regulations; 5) Resilient and Secure Systems; and 6) Flexible Generation and Load. The future modernized grid will need to balance a variety of key priorities that are not all perfectly aligned with each other. This document establishes a clear and actionable grid modernization strategy for DOE and the national labs to align these priorities in a secure and efficient manner.
