California’s primary energy policy and planning agency
An electric generating station that uses waste heat from its gas turbines to produce steam for conventional steam turbines.
Industry:Energy
Gas generated by the natural degrading and decomposition of municipal solid waste by anaerobic microorganisms in sanitary landfills. The gases produced, carbon dioxide and methane, can be collected by a series of low-level pressure wells and can be processed into a medium Btu gas that can be burned to generate steam or electricity.
Industry:Energy
A bid that is used by the ISO to adjust supply or demand when congestion is anticipated.
Industry:Energy
Power supplies that are guaranteed to be delivered under terms defined by contract.
Industry:Energy
a system in which both space heating and domestic water heating are provided by the same water heater(s).
Industry:Energy
A very intense, uniform beam of electromagnetic radiation. Acronym for Light Amplification by Simulated Emission of Radiation.
Industry:Energy
Water conditions limiting the production of hydroelectric power. In years having below-normal levels of rain and snow, and in seasons having less-than-usual runoff from mountain snow pack, there is then less water available for hydro energy production.
Industry:Energy
A release of energy caused by the splitting of an atom's nucleus. This is the energy process used in conventional nuclear power plants to make the heat needed to run steam electric turbines.
Industry:Energy
A change in the heat content that occurs without a corresponding change in temperature, usually accompanied by a change of state (as from liquid to vapor during evaporation).
