Energy systems integration, renewable energy research, and energy efficiency technologies are being cultivated and progressively developed by HP and Intel, which were selected by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) to provide a new energy-efficient, high-performance computer (HPC) system. With a certain focus on mitigating energy loss, the new center will provide additional computing resources to support the breadth of research at NREL. This will lead to increased efficiency and lower costs for research into clean energy technologies, including solar photovoltaics, wind energy, electric vehicles, buildings technologies, and renewable fuels […]
