Overview / Open Energy Ontology / Class - energy consumption value

Label: energy consumption value

Definition:

An energy consumption value is an energy amount value that measures the energy consumption over a time span.

Sub classes:

Definition:

A final energy consumption value is an energy consumption value expressing the magnitude of the energy delivered to and consumed by end users.

gross inland energy consumption value

view

Definition:

A gross inland energy consumption value is an energy consumption value expressing the magnitude of the total consumption of energy in a spatial region (e.g. a country).

Editor note:

Gross inland energy consumption represents the quantity of energy necessary to satisfy inland consumption of the spatial region (e.g. a country) under consideration. Gross inland energy consumption covers: - consumption by the energy sector itself; - distribution and transformation losses; - final energy consumption by end users; - 'statistical differences' (not already captured in the figures on primary energy consumption and final energy consumption). Gross inland energy consumption does not include energy (fuel oil) provided to international maritime bunkers.

gross national electricity consumption value

view

Definition:

A gross national electricity consumption value is an energy consumption value measuring the consumption of electrical energy in a spatial region (e.g. a country), including gross electricity generation plus electricity imports, minus electricity exports. It is part of the gross inland energy consumption.

primary energy consumption value

view

Definition:

A primary energy consumption value is an energy consumption value expressing the magnitude of the total consumption of energy in a spatial region excluding the non-energetic use of fuels.

Editor note:

Primary energy consumption covers consumption of the energy sector itself, losses during transformation (for example, from oil or gas into electricity) and distribution of energy, and the final consumption by end users. It excludes energy carriers used for non-energy purposes (such as petroleum not used not for combustion but for producing plastics).

energy amount value

view

Definition:

An energy amount value is a quantity value that has an energy unit as unit.
