‘VERA’ Software Enables Simulation of Atomic-Level Physics

VERA invites researchers to take a walk through the core of a nuclear reactor—in full-scale virtual 3-D—to observe in luminous color the neutron population density in the fuel rods. Researchers will use VERA software’s many interacting computer codes to simulate the atomic-level physics of any reactor core element at any time, with unprecedented clarity.

EPRI Investigates Solar Panel Coatings to Reduce Reflection, Soiling

EPRI reports on coatings that may reduce reflection and increase light absorption, and coatings to mitigate soiling to increase power output.

Want to disconnect from the grid?

Technically speaking you could go off-grid with solar panels and battery storage, but there are trade-offs – including lost opportunities to sell power back to the grid on sunny days. EPRI research examines a number of technical and financial trade-offs. Watch this brief video in English or Spanish, or download the report from epri.com​.
