power of consumption
31Orders of magnitude (power) — A thermal power plant transforms thermal energy into electric energy This page lists examples of the power in watts produced by various sources of energy. They are grouped by orders of magnitude, and each section covers three orders of magnitude …
32World energy resources and consumption — In order to directly compare world energy resources and consumption of energy, this article uses SI units and prefixes and measures energy rate (or power) in watts (W) and amounts of energy in joules (J). One watt is one joule per second. In 2005 …
33Standby power — Standby power, also called vampire power, phantom load, or leaking electricity, refers to the electric power consumed by electronic appliances while they are switched off or in a standby mode. A very common electricity vampire is a power adapter… …
34Negawatt power — is a theoretical unit of power representing an amount of energy (measured in watts) saved. The energy saved is a direct result of energy conservation or increased efficiency. The term was coined by the Chief Scientist of the Rocky Mountain… …
35Coal power in the People's Republic of China — Entrance to a small coal mine in China. A coal shipme …
36Low-power electronics — means that the consumption of electric power is deliberately low, e.g. notebook processors. Electronics The density and speed of integrated circuit computing elements has increased roughly exponentially for a period of several decades, following… …
37Wind power forecasting — A wind power forecast corresponds to an estimate of the expected production of one or more wind turbines (referred to as a wind farm) in the near future. By production is often meant available power for wind farm considered (with units kW or MW… …
38Intermittent power source — [ Erie Shores Wind Farm monthly output over a two year period] An intermittent power source is a source of electric power generation that may be uncontrollably variable or more intermittent than conventional power sources, and therefore non… …
39CPU power dissipation — Central processing unit power dissipation or CPU power dissipation is the process in which central processing units (CPUs) consume electrical energy, and dissipate this energy both by the action of the switching devices contained in the CPU (such …
40Brake specific fuel consumption — (BSFC) is a measure of an engine s efficiency. It is the rate of fuel consumption divided by the power produced. BSFC is specific for shaft engines such as reciprocating engine. The BSFC Calculation (in metric units) To calculate BSFC, use the… …
