Overview / Open Energy Ontology / Class - process attribute
Label: process attribute

Definition:
A process attribute is a dependent occurrent that existentially depends on a process.

Sub classes:
Definition:
Electrical energy share is a process attribute that indicates the fraction of electrical energy related to the total energy of an energy generation or consumption process.

Definition:
An emission factor is a process attribute that describes the correlation of emissions and the activity causing that emission.

Definition:
An emission rate is a process attribute that describes the output of an emission process.

Definition:
Energy conversion efficiency is a process attribute describing the ratio between the input of an energy transformation and the outputs that are used.

Definition:
Energy conversion performance is a process attribute describing the ratio between the non-heat input of an energy transformation and the outputs that are used.

Definition:
Gross electricity generation is a process attribute that refers to the total amount of electrical energy produced in an electricity generation process.

Definition:
Net electricity generation is a process attribute that equals to gross electricity generation minus the consumption of power stations' auxiliary services.

Definition:
Power is the process attribute that is the amount of energy transformed or transferred per time unit.

Definition:
Process climate neutrality is a process attribute that conforms to some climate neutrality criteria.

Definition:
Process sustainability is a process attribute that conforms to some sustainability criteria.

Definition:
Ramping is a process attribute that describes the change in power of an energy transformation unit or an energy converting component per time step.

Definition:
A renewable energy share is a process attribute that indicates the fraction of renewable energy related to the total energy of an energy generation or consumption process.

Definition:
Water flow rate is the process attribute of water flow that quantifies the water volume per time unit.

Editor note:
BFO 2 Reference: every occurrent that is not a temporal or spatiotemporal region is s-dependent on some independent continuant that is not a spatial region

Editor note:
BFO 2 Reference: s-dependence obtains between every process and its participants in the sense that, as a matter of necessity, this process could not have existed unless these or those participants existed also. A process may have a succession of participants at different phases of its unfolding. Thus there may be different players on the field at different times during the course of a football game; but the process which is the entire game s-depends_on all of these players nonetheless. Some temporal parts of this process will s-depend_on on only some of the players.

Editor note:
Occurrent doesn't have a closure axiom because the subclasses don't necessarily exhaust all possibilites. An example would be the sum of a process and the process boundary of another process.

Editor note:
Simons uses different terminology for relations of occurrents to regions: Denote the spatio-temporal location of a given occurrent e by 'spn[e]' and call this region its span. We may say an occurrent is at its span, in any larger region, and covers any smaller region. Now suppose we have fixed a frame of reference so that we can speak not merely of spatio-temporal but also of spatial regions (places) and temporal regions (times). The spread of an occurrent, (relative to a frame of reference) is the space it exactly occupies, and its spell is likewise the time it exactly occupies. We write 'spr[e]' and `spl[e]' respectively for the spread and spell of e, omitting mention of the frame.
