  2. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    High efficiency is particularly relevant in systems that can operate from batteries. Inefficiency may require weighing the cost either of the wasted energy, or of the required power supply, against the cost of attaining greater efficiency. Efficiency can usually be improved by choosing different components or by redesigning the system.

  3. Energy (psychological) - Wikipedia

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

    He argues that this intensity, can be understood separately from emotion and that this intensity might be considered energy. [7]: 54 However, a significant volume of empirical research on energy psychology has emerged over several decades, much of it published in peer-reviewed medical and psychology journals.

  4. Electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity

    Electric utilities measure power using electricity meters, which keep a running total of the electric energy delivered to a customer. Unlike fossil fuels , electricity is a low entropy form of energy and can be converted into motion or many other forms of energy with high efficiency.

  5. Efficient energy use - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efficient_energy_use

    Efficient energy use, or energy efficiency, is the process of reducing the amount of energy required to provide products and services. There are many technologies and methods available that are more energy efficient than conventional systems.

  6. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    The electrical energy input of this cell is 1.20 times greater than the theoretical minimum so the energy efficiency is 0.83 compared to the ideal cell. A water electrolysis unit operating with a higher voltage that 1.48 V and at a temperature of 25 °C would have to have heat energy removed in order to maintain a constant temperature and the ...

  7. Energy conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conservation

    Advertising with high energy and light pollution in Shinjuku, Japan. Since the 1973 oil crisis, energy conservation has been an issue in Japan. All oil-based fuel is imported, so domestic sustainable energy is being developed. The Energy Conservation Center [50] promotes energy efficiency in every aspect of Japan. Public entities are ...

  8. Rebound effect (conservation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_effect_(conservation)

    In energy conservation and energy economics, the rebound effect (or take-back effect) is the reduction in expected gains from new technologies that increase the efficiency of resource use, because of behavioral or other systemic responses.

  9. Energy efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency

    Energy efficiency may refer to: Energy efficiency (physics), the ratio between the useful output and input of an energy conversion process Electrical efficiency, useful power output per electrical power consumed; Mechanical efficiency, a ratio of the measured performance to the performance of an ideal machine
