Energy quality
Ability of a form of energy to do useful work. High-temperature heat and the chemical energy in fossil fuels and nuclear fuels are concentrated high quality energy. Low-quality energy such as low-temperature heat is dispersed or diluted and cannot do much useful work. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia Energy quality is the contrast between different forms of energy, the different trophic levels in ecological systems and the propensity of energy to convert from one form to another. The concept refers to our empirical experience of the characteristics, or qualia, of different energy forms as they flow and transform. It appeals to our common perception of the heat value, versatility, and environmental performance of different energy forms and the way a small increment in energy flow can sometimes produce a large transformation effect on both energy physical state and energy. For example the transition from a solid state to liquid may only involve a very small addition of energy. Methods of evaluating energy quality are concerned to develop a system of ranking energy qualities in hierarchical order. 金�界,LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- VYCON, http://www.vyconenergy.com, an innovator in the design and manufacture of green-tech, energy storage flywheel Allegheny Energy Hosts Meeting of the US Quality Council - Oct 9, 2007 Business Wire (press release),GREENSBURG, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allegheny Energy, Inc.
