Company Profile:
A system consisting of two or more individual power systems normally operating with connecting tie lines.
Industry:Energy
A housing unit built on a movable chassis and moved to the site. It may be placed on a permanent or temporary foundation and may contain one room or more. If rooms are added to the structure, it is considered a single-family housing unit. A manufactured house assembled on site is a single-family housing unit, not a mobile home.
Industry:Energy
An empirical measure of the quantity of light. It is based upon the spectral sensitivity of the photosensors in the human eye under high (daytime) light levels. Photometrically it is the luminous flux emitted with a solid angle (1 steradian) by a point source having a uniform luminous intensity of 1 candela.
Industry:Energy
Two or more electric systems having a common transmission line that permits a flow of energy between them. The physical connection of the electric power transmission facilities allows for the sale or exchange of energy.
Industry:Energy
A material, such as ordinary water, heavy water, or graphite, used in a reactor to slow down high-velocity neutrons, thus increasing the likelihood of further fission.
Industry:Energy
The time it takes for an isotope to lose half of its radioactivity.
Industry:Energy
A measure of the efficacy (efficiency) of lamps. It indicates the amount of light (lumens) emitted by the lamp for each unit of electrical power (Watts) used.
Industry:Energy
Includes amounts charged by the electric department at tariff or other specified rates for electricity supplied by it to other utility departments.
Industry:Energy
Photovoltaic cells or an assembly of cells into panels (modules) intended for and shipped for final consumption orto another organization for resale. When exported, incomplete modules and unencapsulated cells are also included. Modules used for space applications are not included.
Industry:Energy
A type of incandescent lamp that lasts much longer and is more efficient than the common incandescent lamp. The lamp uses a halogen gas, usually iodine or bromine, that causes the evaporating tungsten to be redeposited on the filament, thus prolonging its life. Also see Incandescent lamp.
