California’s primary energy policy and planning agency
The transfer of heat energy through a material (solid, liquid or gas) by the motion of adjacent atoms and molecules without gross displacement of the particles.
Industry:Energy
A condition that occurs when insufficient transfer capacity is available to implement all of the preferred schedules simultaneously.
Industry:Energy
(1)The amount of electric power supplied to meet one or more end user's needs. (2) An end-use device or an end-use customer that consumes power. Load should not be confused with demand, which is the measure of power that a load receives or requires.
Industry:Energy
Steps taken to cause less energy to be used than would otherwise be the case. These steps may involve improved efficiency, avoidance of waste, reduced consumption, etc. They may involve installing equipment (such as a computer to ensure efficient energy use), modifying equipment (such as making a boiler more efficient), adding insulation, changing behavior patterns, etc.
Industry:Energy
An electric power system, or a combination of electric power systems, to which a common automatic generation control (AGC) is applied to match the power output of generating units within the area to demand. The control area of the ISO is the state of California.
Industry:Energy
Transferring heat by moving air, or transferring heat by means of upward motion of particles of liquid or gas heat from beneath.
Industry:Energy
device or kit by which a conventional fuel vehicle is changed to an alternative fuel vehicle.
