R&D Efforts in Energy Storage Technologies for the Grid at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)
| Dr. David Reed Chief Material Scientist/Program Manager Battery Materials and Systems Group Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |
Dr. Wei Wang Director Energy Storage Materials Initiative Pacific Northwest National Laboratory |
Date: January 28, 2021
Time: 1100h PT / 1400h ET
In this webinar, we discuss efforts at PNNL to accelerate the acceptance of energy storage technologies for grid-scale applications. The investigation of new and existing technologies to improve materials and systems that directly impact performance is covered. We describe new research to create a digital twin battery to accelerate energy storage discovery and development. In addition, we review safety and reliability testing efforts employed to develop protocols, materials, and systems to ensure the safe and reliable deployment of energy storage systems.

David Reed
Dr. David Reed is Chief Material Scientist/Program Manager in the Battery Materials and Systems Group at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Before joining PNNL in 2010, he worked in industry at 3M, U.S., and Praxair, U.S. There Dr. Reed researched in areas including high temperature electrochemistry, materials synthesis and processing, alternative manufacturing methods, dielectric materials, coatings, failure analysis, new materials development, design of experiments, and rapid commercialization processes. His primary focus at PNNL has been developing and testing new materials and components in electrochemical devices. Dr. Reed is currently the Program Manager for the DOE Office of Electricity-sponsored program focusing on new electrochemical device technologies for energy storage. He is also Project Manager for several industrial sponsored programs. Dr. Reed received his PhD in Ceramic Engineering from the Missouri University of Science and Technology, U.S.
Wei Wang
Dr. Wei Wang is currently Director of the Energy Storage Materials Initiative, a multi-million-dollar and multi-year project at PNNL to fundamentally transform energy material research and development (R&D) through a physics-informed, data-driven approach. He also serves as the chief scientist and technical lead on stationary energy storage R&D at PNNL, which covers a diverse portfolio of redox flow, lithium ion, and sodium ion batteries. Dr. Wang joined PNNL in 2009 after receiving a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, U.S.
