Advanced water power technology research
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are part of a team being funded to develop advanced water power technologies. The Department of Energy awarded $9 million for three years for fundamental research to develop and advance the science and tools needed to bring new water power technologies into use, as well as to evaluate methods to improve performance at existing hydropower facilities. The research team is headed by Sandia National Laboratory, and includes staff from PNNL as well as Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.
