+ | Here are the different labels: | ||
+ | * **Waste heat:** It is the waste heat from thermal power generation. If electricity is produced from fuel combustion not all combustion energy can be converted into electricity. Usually the average efficiency is around 40%. The energy that is not converted is called "waste heat" and it is sent to the ambient. [[nuclear_more|Nuclear power plants]] also produce "waste heat". Around 37% of the heat from fuel fission is converted into electricity. The remaining 63% is "waste heat". "Waste heat" related to electricity import is also taken into account, for its calculation it is assumed that the average energy efficiency | ||
+ | * **Fuel Transport: | ||
+ | * **Th. Process heat:** energy value of the heat that is supplied by the use a thermal conversion processes : boiler, cogeneration. | ||
+ | * ** Th. Hot water** energy value of the heat of the [[hot_water|sanitary hot water]] that is supplied by a thermal conversion processes : boiler, cogeneration, | ||
+ | * **Th. Space heating:** energy value of the heat supplied for space heating by thermal conversion processes : boiler, cogeneration, | ||
+ | * **Elec. transport: | ||
+ | * **Elec. process:** Electricity that is consumed in industrial processes, for either heating through direct electric heating or producing work (engines). | ||
+ | * **Elec. hot water: ** Electricity that is used for producing sanitary hot water through direct electric heating. | ||
+ | * **Elec. heat pump:** Electricity that is consumed by the heat pump, which mainly provide heat for hot water and space heating. | ||
+ | * **Elec. direct heat:** Electricity that is used for space heating by electric direct heating. | ||
+ | * **Elec. other:** Electricity that is consumed for other purposes that have not been previously mentioned such as lighting, cooking, IT, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, etc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It has to be mentioned that the [[hot_water|hot water]] demand can not be seen on this indicator since part of the consumption is accounted in the electricity consumed in the heat pumps. | ||
