  2. Exergy efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy_efficiency

    For example, a typical combined cycle power plant burning methane may have an energy efficiency of 55%, while its exergy efficiency will be 57%. A 100% exergy efficient methane fired power station would correspond to an energy efficiency of 98%. This means that for many of the fuels we use, the maximum efficiency that can be achieved is >90% ...

  3. Exergy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy

    An energy efficiency or first law efficiency will determine the most efficient process based on wasting as little energy as possible relative to energy inputs. An exergy efficiency or second-law efficiency will determine the most efficient process based on wasting and destroying as little available work as possible from a given input of ...

  4. Carnot method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnot_method

    Exergy does not only consider energy but also energy quality. It can be considered a product of both. Therefore any energy transformation should also be assessed according to its exergetic efficiency or loss ratios. The quality of the product "thermal energy" is fundamentally determined by the mean temperature level at which this heat is delivered.

  5. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    A premium efficiency electric motor: more than 90% (see Main Article: Premium efficiency). A large power transformer used in the electrical grid may have efficiency of more than 99%. Early 19th century transformers were much less efficient, wasting up to a third of the energy passing through them. [citation needed]

  6. Energy return on investment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_return_on_investment

    The issue is still subject of numerous studies, and prompting academic argument. That's mainly because the "energy invested" critically depends on technology, methodology, and system boundary assumptions, resulting in a range from a maximum of 2000 kWh/m 2 of module area down to a minimum of 300 kWh/m 2 with a median value of 585 kWh/m 2 according to a meta-study from 2013.

  7. HE vs. Traditional Washing Machines: What’s the Difference?

    A huge draw of a high-efficiency washer is the high level of water and energy conservation, which brings along a positive sense of doing your part to help the environment.

  8. Energy conversion efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_conversion_efficiency

    Energy conversion efficiency (η) is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The input, as well as the useful output may be chemical , electric power , mechanical work , light (radiation), or heat .
