Company Profile:
A thermal cracking process utilizing the fluidized-solids technique to remove carbon (coke) for continuous conversion of heavy, low-grade oils into lighter products.
Industry:Energy
The flow of electric charge.The preferred unit of measure is the ampere.
Industry:Energy
Bituminous coal suitable for makingcoke. See coke (coal).
Industry:Energy
The ability of an electric current to produce work, heat, light, or other forms of energy. It is measured in kilowatthours.
Industry:Energy
A statistical procedure that replaces a missing value of an item with a constant value from an external source such as a value from a previous survey. See Imputation.
Industry:Energy
The cost of labor, material, and expenses incurred in operating a facility's prime movers, generators, auxiliary apparatus, switching gear, and other electric equipment for each of the points where electricity enters the transmission or distribution grid.
Industry:Energy
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. This process increases the efficiency of the electric generating unit.
Industry:Energy
See Gross generation and Net generation.
Industry:Energy
An electric generating unit that consists of one or more combustion turbines and one or more boilers with a portion of the required energy input to the boiler(s) provided by the exhaust gas of the combustion turbine(s).
Industry:Energy
Stationary and mobile generating units that are connected to the electric power grid and can generate electricity. The electric generation industry includes the "electric power sector" (utility generators and independent power producers) and industrial and commercial power generators, including combined-heat-and-power producers, but excludes units at single-family dwellings.
