Industry:Energy
A solar thermal technology that uses a modular mirror system that approximates aparabol a and incorporates two-axis tracking to focus the sunlight onto receivers located at the focal point of each dish. The mirror system typically is made from a number of mirror facets, either glass or polymer mirror, or can consist of a single stretched membrane using a polymer mirror. The concentrated sunlight may be used directly by a Stirling, Rankine, or Brayton cycle heat engine at the focal point of the receiver or to heat a working fluid that is piped to a central engine. The primary applications include remote electrification, water pumping, and grid-connected generation.
Industry:Energy
Mixtures of unsegregated natural gas liquid components, excluding those in plant condensate. This product is extracted from natural gas.
Industry:Energy
Costs for items or activities not included elsewhere under capital-cost tabulations, such as for and decommissioning, dismantling, and reclamation.
Industry:Energy
Special rate schedules or tariffs offered to customers by electric and/or natural gas utilities.
Industry:Energy
The term "source material "means (1) uranium, thorium, or any other material that is determined by the Atomic Energy Commission pursuant to the provisions of section 61 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, to be source material; or (2) ores containing one or more of the foregoing materials, in such concentration as the Commission may by regulation determine from time to time.
Industry:Energy
A solar thermal collector that has an absorber that does not have a glazed covering. Solar swimming pool heater systems usually use unglazed collectors because they circulate relatively large volumes of water through the collector and capture nearly 80 percent of the solar energy available.
Industry:Energy
A DSM program assistance that includes alternative-rate,fuel-switching, and any other DSM assistance programs that are offered to consumers to encourage their participation in DSM programs.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of net operating income earned by a utility is calculated as a percentage of its rate base.
Industry:Energy
The use of energy to generate heat for warmth in housing units using space-heating equipment. The equipment could be the main space-heating equipment or secondary space-heating equipment. It does not include the use of energy to operate appliances (such as lights, televisions, and refrigerators) that give off heat as a byproduct.
