Glossary

"Type Approval-Provisional Scheme -2000" ; This is a scheme for provisional certification and requirements of measurements and testing.

Total kinetic and potential energy associated with random motions of the molecules in a material.

Device that adjusts the amount of cooling and heating produced.

Solar collector system for water heating. The collection fluid solely circulates due to the temperature and density difference between hot and cold fluids.

This is a solid substance layer, often used in solar panels.

Modules with a coated surface and the energy efficiency conversion depends on the coating used.

Vertical range between high and low tide.

This is the price charged to deliver municipal solid waste to a landfill, recycling facility, or waste-to-energy facility.

This is a device that converts generator's low-volt energy to higher-volt energy.

Transfer or movement of electrical energy over an interconnected group of lines. This is for the delivery to consumers and other electrical systems.

This is a set of insulators, conductors, supporting structures and associated equipment that are used to move large quantities of high voltage.

This is the part of the economy that has to do with how people and goods are transported.

This is a device that generates rotary mechanical power from a moving force such as wind, hot gas, water or steam.

Ratio of the wind speed standard deviation to the mean wind speed.

Wave length where the non-dimensional, longitudinal power spectral density is 0.05.
