International Conference on Sodium Batteries: November 11-14
Join the International Conference on Sodium Batteries from November 11-14, 2024, at PNNL in Richland, WA. This event will gather academic researchers, industrial manufacturers, and policy experts for a four-day collaborative forum on sustainable sodium battery technologies. Registration and event overview.
The leaves are turning and the air is a little crisper. Let the changing season be your reminder to 'fall' into a bi-annual safety check of your home safety devices!
As we transition into cooler months, we begin to use heating systems more frequently, increasing the risk of house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Checking the batteries in your home protection devices every spring and fall is essential for maintaining a safe home environment. Homes equipped with both working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors can reduce the risk of fire-related injuries by 50% and significantly lower the chances of carbon monoxide poisoning. Check all devices twice a year and replace batteries as needed to keep you and your family safe.
About Energy Storage at PNNL
PNNL research provides a clear understanding of the technology needs for integrating energy storage into the grid. We work with utilities and industry to assess the optimal role for energy storage installations under local operational and market conditions. Our research teams support field deployments where we work with stakeholders to characterize the value, understand usage and controls, and generally improve the benefits that energy storage systems provide to the grid. These data, provided to all stakeholders, assure that research development and deployment is working toward a cleaner power future for America.
Understanding the benefits of the wide variety of storage technologies and developing the critical advancements required to bring down the cost of energy storage will help integrate renewable power sources such as wind, solar, and marine energy and energize a modern, flexible, and resilient power grid.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory draws on its distinguishing strengths in chemistry, Earth sciences, biology and data science to advance scientific knowledge and address challenges in sustainable energy and national security. Founded in 1965, PNNL is operated by Battelle for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, which is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States. DOE’s Office of Science is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit the PNNL's News Center.
