Energy Research and Development

Energy Research and Development at Sandia

Our national security and continued prosperity depend in large part on energy research and development. The United States has experienced disruptions to its energy supply, notably during the 1970s when gas and oil supplies dwindled and prices skyrocketed, and more recently, the need for energy research and development appeared this past winter when rolling blackouts struck California. Energy research and development is becoming an increasingly important issue that needs to be considered.

Sandia: Helping in the Energy Research and Development Field

Sandia has been helping to develop energy research and development solutions to ensure the stability of our energy supplies since the 1970s. The challenge surrounding energy research and development is multifaceted and much of the effort surrounding energy research and development now is focused on developing distributed, decentralized energy networks. That represents a shift in the research and development field from large centralized power plants to smaller, often higher-efficiency plants located at the point of consumption. But such a shift in the energy research and development field poses new challenges involving energy research and development, that include their interconnection and their ability to communicate securely to ensure there will be no disruptions, whether accidental or intentional, in the supply of energy to consumers. Sandia also is helping the energy research and development process by developing improved tools and techniques that potentially could revolutionize drilling operations for the oil, gas, and geothermal industries.
