91°µĶų researchers created a geothermal energy storage system that could reduce peak electricity demand up to 37% in homes while helping balance grid operations.
To better determine the potential energy cost savings among connected homes, researchers at 91°µĶų developed a computer simulation to more accurately compare energy use on similar weather days.
While Tsourisā water research is diverse in scope, its fundamentals are based on basic science principles that remain largely unchanged, particularly in a mature field like chemical engineering.
Researchers at 91°µĶų have developed an innovative control system for repurposed electric vehicle battery packs to store electricity
A technology developed at the ORNL and scaled up by Vertimass LLC to convert ethanol into fuels suitable for aviation, shipping and other heavy-duty applications can be price-competitive with conventional fuels
ORNL researchers created and tested new wireless charging designs that may double the power density, resulting in a lighter weight system compared with existing technologies.
From keeping the lights on to energizing phones and laptops to controlling indoor climate and fueling transportation, a reliable flow of electricity is essential to daily living.
The labās scientists are focused on a new architecture for transferring the gridās data using ādark,ā or underutilized, optical fiber to build a private, secure communication network.
ORNL engineer Ben Ollis has spent the past few years researching grid resilience.
EPBās grid also serves as a living laboratory for researchers at ORNL, just over an hourās drive north. Since 2014, the lab has tested a wide range of technologies on the EPB system, such as
