Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), one of nine U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) multi-program national laboratories, to develop computational technologies for next-generation energy systems. The association will demonstrate cutting-edge techniques for the design of fuel cell and alternative energy conversion technologies. The focus of the work is to contribute systems and solutions that will help the United States achieve independence from foreign sources of oil. PNNL and MSC.Software will work jointly to develop a range of solutions that are needed for efficient and effective alternative energy design and development including modeling and simulation, stochastics, simulation data and process management. "Industry has been trying to develop cost-effective fuel cells for some time now and our work allows the private sector to gain access into new and more efficient methods of multi-disciplinary design and development that makes affordable fuel cells more possible," said Reza Sadeghi, vice president enterprise computing, MSC.Software.
