The rate at which electricity is delivered to or by a system, part of a system, or piece of equipment expressed in kilowatts, kilovoltamperes, or other suitable unit, at a given instant or averaged over a specified period of time.
Industry:Energy
The rate of energy transfer equivalent to one ampere under an electrical pressure of one volt. One watt equals 1/746 horsepower, or one joule per second. It is the product of Voltage and Current (amperage).
Industry:Energy
The rate of heat flow required to maintain a specific indoor temperature; usually measured in Btu per hour.
Industry:Energy

Industry:Energy
The ratio of a photovoltaic cell's actual power to its power if both current and voltage were at their maxima. A key characteristic in evaluating cell performance.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of actual power being used in a circuit, expressed in watts or kilowatts, to the power that is apparently being drawn from a power source, expressed in volt-amperes or kilovolt-amperes.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of available energy per pound; usually used to compare storage batteries.
Industry:Energy
The ratio of average energy demand (load) to maximum demand (peak load) during a specific period.
