Company Profile:
A source of water external to a boiler's feed system is passed through the steam leaving the turbine in order to cool and condense the steam. This reduces the steam's exit pressure and recaptures its heat, which is then used to preheat fluid entering the boiler, thereby increasing the plant's thermodynamic efficiency.
Industry:Energy
The rate at which energy is delivered to loads and scheduling points by generation, transmission, and distribution facilities.
Industry:Energy
Total consumption of a particular energy source(s) or fuel(s) divided by the total floorspace of buildings that use the energy source(s) or fuel(s); i.e.,the ratio of consumption to energy source-specific floorspace.
Industry:Energy
A bid into the power exchange indicating a quantity of energy or an ancillary service that an eligible customer is willing to purchase and, if relevant, the maximum price that the customer is willing to pay.
Industry:Energy
An electricrate schedule that has been put into effect by the FERC subject to refund pending final disposition or refiling.
Industry:Energy
The process of producing electric energy or the amount of electric energy produced by transforming other forms of energy, commonly expressed in kilowatthours(kWh) or megawatthours (MWh).
Industry:Energy
Metal wires, cables, and bus-bar used for carrying electric current. Conductors may be solid or stranded, that is,built up by a assembly of smaller solid conductors.
