Page 138 - Electric Utility: A corporation, person, agency, authority, or other legal entity or instrumentality aligned with distribution facilities for delivery of electric energy for use primarily by the public. Included are investor-owned electric utilities, municipal and State utilities, Federal electric utilities, and rural electric cooperatives. A few entities that are tariff based and corporately aligned with companies that own distribution facilities are also included.
Page 140 - ... (See Watt). Kilowatthour (kWh): One thousand watthours. Levelized Cost: The present value of the total cost of building and operating a generating plant over its economic life, converted to equal annual payments. Costs are levelized in real dollars (ie, adjusted to remove the impact of inflation). Liquid Collector: A medium-temperature solar thermal collector, employed predominantly in water heating, which uses pumped liquid as the heat-transfer medium. Low-Temperature Collectors: Metallic or...
Page 141 - A plant that usually generates electric energy during peak load periods by using water previously pumped into an elevated storage reservoir during off-peak periods, when excess generating capacity is available to do so. When additional generating capacity is needed, the water can be released from the reservoir through a conduit to turbine generators located in a power plant at a lower level.
Page 137 - Combined Cycle: An electric generating technology in which electricity is produced from otherwise lost waste heat exiting from one or more gas (combustion) turbines. The exiting heat is routed to a conventional boiler or to a heat recovery steam generator for utilization by a steam turbine in the production of electricity. Such designs increase the efficiency of the electric generating unit. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Plant: A facility that generates power via combined cycle technology.
Page 31 - Annual Photovoltaic Module/Cell Manufacturers Survey" Energy Sources: Solar energy. Energy Functions: Disposition. Frequency of Collection: Annually. Respondent Categories: Solar thermal collector manufacturers and/or importers; photovoltaic module/cell manufacturers and/or importers; Reporting Requirement: Mandatory. Description: Forms EIA-63A/B are designed to gather for publication data on shipments of solar thermal collectors and photovoltaic modules. Data are collected by end use and market...
Page 139 - Geothermal Plant: A plant in which the prime mover is a steam turbine. The turbine is driven either by steam produced from hot water or by natural steam that derives its energy from heat found in rocks or fluids at various depths beneath the surface of the earth. The energy is extracted by drilling and/or pumping.
Page 140 - A corporation, person, agency, authority, or other legal entity or instrumentality that owns or operates facilities for electric generation and is not an electric utility. Nonutility power producers include qualifying cogenerators, qualifying small power producers, and other nonutility generators (including independent power producers).
Page 32 - Energy Sources: Electricity. Energy Functions: Production. Frequency of Collection: Annually. Respondent Categories: Nonutility power producers. Reporting Requirement: Mandatory. Description: Form EIA-867 is used to collect data annually from nonutility power producers who own or plan on installing electric generation equipment with a total capacity of one megawatt or more at an existing or proposed site. Electricity generation, installed capacity, and energy consumption data are collected. These...
Page 141 - Qualifying Facility (QF): A cogeneration or small power production facility that meets certain ownership, operating and efficiency criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) pursuant to the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). R&D: Research and development. Also see "Applied Research
