British scientists say they've achieved a breakthrough, figuring out how to extract hydrogen from water with an unheard-of 60% efficiency using solar energy. The secret sauce is nanotechnology, in the form of nanoclusters of indium phosphide encrusted on a gold electrode. Using this, they can turn sunlight into that hotshot hydrogen fuel, clean-burning and as energetic as a swift kick in the

Main How Aggregation Will Destroy Niche Markets for Smart Grid Energy Storage California Legislature to Consider Storage Portfolio Standards John Petersen The California Energy Storage Alliance just issued a press release that describes new legislation to require utilities to incorporate energy storage in their distribution networks . The rules will mandate storage equal to 2.25 of daytime peak power by 2014 and 5 of daytime peak power by 2020. The press release is available here A quick check of the California ISO website forecasts a peak load of approximately 29,000 MW for tomorrow . If one assumes an average peak demand of 30,000 MW , a 2.25 storage penetration would require an annual storage build of 135 MW per year in each of the next five . years Using the average values reported in the Energy Storage for the Electricity Grid : Benefits and Potential Market Assessment report that I introduced last week , the incremental revenue to storage
