Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) needed a platform that has the capabilities to analyze power flow and multi-node applications for their microgrid research projects for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in order to secure more research funding.

CHALLENGE:

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) needed a platform that has the capabilities to analyze power flow and multi-node applications for their microgrid research projects for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).

Additionally, PNNL is researching new hydropower capabilities and projects in the continental United States.

SOLUTION:

PNNL turned to Xendee to enable this complex hydropower system analysis and research. Xendee provided PNNL with both the necessary tools and research support to analyze and optimize DoD microgrid projects, and to evaluate the potential for new hydropower projects.

RESULTS:

Xendee's platform and energy analytics capabilities have enabled PNNL to secure additional research funding as a result of the partnership, which allows them to expand their research and continue to innovate in the field of microgrids and hydropower.

The collaboration also resulted in expanded Xendee platform capabilities, enabling ongoing support to PNNL in new areas of innovation.
