- Company Profile:
A solar thermal collector in which incident solar radiation is absorbed directly by the storage medium.
Industry:Energy
The ownership of the minerals beneath the earth's surface with the right to remove them. Mineral rights may be conveyed separately from surface rights.
Industry:Energy
A programme in which the utility company offers a lower rate in return for having permission to turn off the air conditioner or water heater for short periods of time by remote control. This control allows the utility to reduce peak demand.
Industry:Energy
The summation of the continuously varying instantaneous demand averaged over a specified interval of time. The information is usually determined by examining a demand meter.
Industry:Energy
Mineral matter in coal is the parent material in coal from which ash is derived and which comes from minerals present in the original plant materials that formed the coal, or from extraneous sources such as sediments and precipitates from mineralized water. Mineral matter in coal cannot be analytically determined and is commonly calculated using data on ash and ash-forming constituents. Coal analyses are calculated to the mineral matter free basis by adjusting formulas used in calculations in order to deduct the weight of mineral matter from the total coal.
Industry:Energy
The relationship of power supplied to the time of occurrence. Illustrates the varying magnitude of the load during the period covered.
Industry:Energy
Coal, water, and oxygen are fed to gasifier, which produces syngas. This medium-Btu gas is cleaned (particulates and sulfurcompounds removed) and is fed to a gas turbine. The hot exhaust of the gas turbine and heat recovered from the gasification process are routed through a heat-recovery routed through a heat-recovery generator toproduce steam, which drives a steam turbine to produce electricity.
Industry:Energy
Small van that first appeared with that designation in 1984. Any of the smaller vans built on an automobile-type frame. Earlier models such as the Volkswagen van are now included in this category.
Industry:Energy
The difference between the peak of coincident and noncoincident demands of two or more individual loads.
Industry:Energy
The amount of a quantity per unit floor space. This method adjusts either the amount of energy consumed or expenditures spent, for the effects of various building characteristics,such as size of the building, number of workers, or number of operating hours, to facilitate comparisons of energy across time, fuels, and buildings.
