A study of the transformation of energy from one form to another, and its practical application.
Industry:Energy
A heater that uses electricity and that can be picked up and moved.
Industry:Energy
(Also referred to as substitute natural gas) A manufactured product, chemically similar in most respects to natural gas, resulting from the conversion or reforming of hydrocarbons that may easily be substituted for or interchanged with pipeline-quality natural gas.
Industry:Energy
Production of primary energy. The Energy Information Administration includes the following in U.S. primary energy production: coal production, waste coal supplied, and coal refuse recovery; crude oil and lease condensate production; natural gas plant liquids production; dry natural gas¿excluding supplemental gaseous fuels¿production; nuclear electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the nuclear plants heat rate); conventional hydroelectricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); geothermal electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the geothermal plants heat rate), and geothermal heat pump energy and geothermal direct use energy; solar thermal and photovoltaic electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate), and solar thermal direct use energy; wind electricity net generation (converted to Btu using the fossil-fueled plants heat rate); wood and wood-derived fuels consumption; biomass waste consumption; and biofuels feedstock.
Industry:Energy
Physically connected generation, transmission, and distribution facilities operated as an integrated unit under one central management or operating supervision.
Industry:Energy
The crude oil or natural gasrecovered by any method that may be employed to produce them where the fluid enters the well bore by the action of natural reservoir pressure(energy or gravity).
Industry:Energy
The total amount of consumption that would have occurred had the intensity of consumption remained the same over a period of time.
Industry:Energy
A firm (other than a refiner, reseller,or reseller/retailer) that carries on the trade or business of purchasing refined petroleum products and reselling them to ultimate consumers without substantially changing their form.
Industry:Energy
The rate of producing, transferring, or using energy, most commonly associated with electricity. Power is measured inwatts and often expressed in kilowatts (kW) or megawatts (mW). Also known as "real" or "active" power. See Active Power, Apparent Power, Reactive Power, Real Power
