  2. Power rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_rating

    The power is measured while varying the resistive load on the module between open and closed circuit. The maximum power measured is the nominal power of the module in Watts. Colloquially, this is also written as "W p"; this format is colloquial as it is outside the standard by adding suffixes to standardized units.

  3. Maximum power principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_power_principle

    The maximum power principle can be stated: During self-organization, system designs develop and prevail that maximize power intake, energy transformation, and those uses that reinforce production and efficiency. (H.T. Odum 1995, p. 311)...the maximum power principle ... states that systems which maximize their flow of energy survive in competition.

  4. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    As a result of the maximum power theorem, devices transfer maximum power to a load when running at 50% electrical efficiency. This occurs when the load resistance (of the device in question) is equal to the internal Thevenin equivalent resistance of the power source. This is valid only for non-reactive source and load impedances.

  5. Peak demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_demand

    Typical daily consumption of electrical power in Germany, outdated (2005) Peak demand may exceed the maximum supply levels that the electrical power industry can generate, resulting in power outages and load shedding. This often occurs during heat waves when use of air conditioners and powered fans raises the rate of energy consumption ...

  6. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    Standby power consumption can be estimated using tables of standby power used by typical devices, [18] although standby power used by appliances of the same class vary extremely widely (for a CRT computer display standby power is listed at a minimum of 1.6 W, maximum 74.5 W).

  7. Electric energy consumption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_energy_consumption

    The table lists 45 electricity-consuming countries, which used about 22,000 TWh. These countries comprise about 90% of the final consumption of 190+ countries. The final consumption to generate this electricity is provided for every country. The data is from 2022. [8] [12] In 2022, OECD's final electricity consumption was over 10,000 TWh. [3]

  8. Electric power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power

    Electric power is the rate of transfer of electrical energy within a circuit.Its SI unit is the watt, the general unit of power, defined as one joule per second.Standard prefixes apply to watts as with other SI units: thousands, millions and billions of watts are called kilowatts, megawatts and gigawatts respectively.
