  2. Energy in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States

    United States power stations by type and nameplate capacity Generation by source [14] The United States is the world's second-largest producer and consumer of electricity. It generates 15% of the world's electricity supply, about half as much as China. [80] The United States produced 3,988 TWh in 2021. Total generation has been flat since 2010.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_(psychological)

    This includes over 70 randomized controlled trials, 50 clinical outcomes studies, 5 meta-analyses, 4 systematic reviews of various energy psychology modalities, and 9 comparative reviews of energy psychology with other therapies such as EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy. All but one of the experimental studies have documented the ...

  4. Load profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_Profile

    In a power system, a load curve or load profile is a chart illustrating the variation in demand/electrical load over a specific time. Generation companies use this information to plan how much power they will need to generate at any given time. A load duration curve is similar to a load curve. The information is the same but is presented in a ...

  5. Duck curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_curve

    The duck curve is a graph of power production over the course of a day that shows the timing imbalance between peak demand and solar power generation. The graph resembles a sitting duck, and thus the term was created. [2] Used in utility-scale electricity generation, the term was coined in 2012 by the California Independent System Operator. [3] [4]

  6. Allostatic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostatic_load

    Type 1 allostatic load represents the adaptive response to an absolute lack in energy, glutathione, and several macronutrients. It also includes predictive responses (e.g., hibernation, infection, and depression). [8] [9] [10] Type 2 allostatic load results from an expected mismatch of energy demand and supply.

  7. World energy supply and consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_supply_and...

    Global energy consumption, measured in exajoules per year: Coal, oil, and natural gas remain the primary global energy sources even as renewables have begun rapidly increasing. [1] Primary energy consumption by source (worldwide) from 1965 to 2020 [2] World energy supply and consumption refers to the global supply of energy resources and its ...

  8. Hubbert curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubbert_curve

    The Hubbert curve is an approximation of the production rate of a resource over time. It is a symmetric logistic distribution curve, [ 1 ] often confused with the "normal" gaussian function . It first appeared in "Nuclear Energy and the Fossil Fuels," geologist M. King Hubbert 's 1956 presentation to the American Petroleum Institute , as an ...

    Peak world oil scenarios by the US Energy Information Administration (2004) The United States Energy Information Administration projects (as of 2006) world consumption of oil to increase to 98.3 million barrels per day (15.63 × 10 ^ 6 m 3 /d) in 2015 and 118 million barrels per day (18.8 × 10 ^ 6 m 3 /d) in 2030.
