Outline of Energy - Measurement

Measurement

• Volt
• Ampere
• Coulomb
• Barrel of oil equivalent
• British thermal unit
• Calorie
• Current solar income – the amount of solar energy that falls as sunlight
• Electronvolt – (symbol: eV) is the amount of energy gained by a single unbound electron when it falls through an electrostatic potential difference of one volt
• Planck energy, 1.22 × 1019 GeV (billion electron volts)
• Enthalpy
• Erg – (symbol "erg") unit of energy and mechanical work in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system of units
• EU energy label
• Fill factor – defined as the ratio of the maximum power (Vmp x Jmp) divided by the short-circuit current (Isc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc) in light current density – voltage (J-V) characteristics of solar cells.
• Foot-pound – (symbol ft·lbf or ft·lbf) is an Imperial and U.S. customary unit of mechanical work, or energy, although in scientific fields one commonly uses the equivalent metric unit of the joule (J). There are approximately 1.356 J/(ft·lbf).
• Gigaton – Metric Unit of mass, equal to 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) metric tons, 1,000,000,000,000 (1 trillion) kilograms
  • Any of various units of energy, such as gigatons of TNT equivalent, gigatons of coal equivalent, gigatons petroleum equivalent.
• Gray (unit) – (symbol: Gy), is the SI unit of energy for the absorbed dose of radiation. One gray is the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. One gray equals 100 rad, an older unit.
• Heat
• Joule – (symbol J, also called newton meter, watt second, or coulomb volt)
• Kilowatt-hour – (symbol: kW·h) corresponds to one kilowatt (kW) of power being used over a period of one hour.
• Mass-energy equivalence – where mass has an energy equivalence, and energy has a mass equivalence
• Megawatt
• Net energy gain
• Power factor – of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power.
• Therm – (symbol thm) a non-SI unit of heat energy. It is approximately the heat equivalent of burning 100 cubic feet of natural gas. In the US gas industry it is defined as exactly 100,000 BTU_59°F or 105.4804 megajoules.
• Ton of oil equivalent
• TPE – Ton Petroleum Equivalent, 45.217 GJ, see ton of oil equivalent
