NETL experts in energy research-related artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and the Energy Data Exchange (EDX®), which curates U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research data, demonstrated how their work aligns with DOE’s cybersecurity and technology innovation goals at the recently concluded DOE Cybersecurity and Technology Innovation Conference (CyberCon) in Dallas, Texas.

NETL has introduced a free online tool to accelerate the discovery of publicly available data when developing permit applications for the sequestration of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas, in the subsurface.

Several of the nation’s top engineers shared insights during a recent meeting with members of eXtremeMAT-H2, an NETL-led consortium of national laboratories, to accelerate the development of reliable, cost-effective alloys that can withstand long-term exposure to hydrogen-containing environments at elevated temperatures, such as environments found in advanced, hydrogen-fueled power plants and other industries.

NETL researchers recently took a significant step forward in harnessing the power of the world’s largest computer chip — the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) — by using an application programming interface designed in-house to connect commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software through data-file sharing with the next-generation computing technology.

Working for NETL at its research site in Albany, Oregon, has provided Billy Epting with an abundance of opportunities to explore his true passions — developing solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology to address climate change and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with his family.

NETL recently hosted a contingent of undergraduate students from colleges and universities in western Pennsylvania without large in-house research programs as part of an initiative to expand the talent pool of next-generation researchers with skills in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

NETL’s Justin Weber explained how cutting-edge applications of artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the nation’s energy systems analysis activities during the AI Expo for National Competitiveness in Washington, D.C.

NETL has announced the release of Multiphase Flow with Interphase eXchanges (MFiX) Version 24.1, the latest upgrade to multiphase computational fluid dynamics software used to shorten the time and cost associated with developing new power generation technologies.

NETL projects to realize a transformed American energy sector using artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies were shared during the first AI Expo for National Competitiveness organized by the Arlington, VA-based foundation Special Competitive Studies Project, held in Washington, D.C. May 7-8.

NETL researchers successfully used the Laboratory’s Joule 2.0 supercomputer to create synthetic physics-based tropical cyclone wave simulations that help provide insights into the behavior of extreme waves in the Gulf of Mexico.
