Summary
This proposal aims to rationalise and expand tags that describe power=generator features. It rolls together several proposed new tags, and changes to existing tags.
The aim is to provide a flexible framework to encompass:
- The output rating (generator:rating)
- The source of energy used (generator:source)
- The type of energy generated (generator:output)
- The method of generation (generator:method)
This should allow us to distinguish between a solar photovoltaic panel producing electricity and a solar thermal panel producing hot water; between a gas-fired combined-heat-and-power (CHP) station and a simple gas boiler.
N.B. this proposal takes "power" to include all forms of energy generated, which are typically electricity, heat and cooling.
Source of energy
This tag describes the source of the energy generated.
Suggested values:
burning energy | water energy | nuclear energy | wind and sun energy | |
generator:source= |
|
This will deprecate power_source=*.
Type of energy generated
This tag describes the type of energy that the generator outputs.
generator:output:electricity= | yes |
generator:output:hot_water= | yes |
generator:output:hot_air= | yes |
generator:output:cold_water= | yes |
generator:output:cold_air= | yes |
generator:output:compressed_air= | yes |
generator:output:steam= | yes |
generator:output:vacuum= | yes |
generator:output:battery_charging= | yes |
Output rating
This tag describes the output capacity of the generator (i.e. not the actual measured output). The default unit, unless specified, is Watts.
generator:rating:electricity= | x / x W / x kW / x MW / x GW | Watts of power generated |
generator:rating:hot_water= | x / x W / x kW / x MW / x GW | |
generator:rating:*= | x / x W / x kW / x MW / x GW |
This will deprecate power_rating=*.
Method of generation
This tag describes the technical process or method used to convert the energy source into the energy output.
generator:method= | combustion | Burning the fuel |
fission | Nuclear fission | |
fusion | Nuclear fusion | |
thermal | Using heat (e.g. from the sun) | |
pumping | e.g. using geothermal heat | |
photovoltaic | Using photovoltaic cells | |
gasification | Gasifying the fuel, then burning it | |
anaerobic_digestion | Breaking the fuel down with microorganisms in the absence of oxygen | |
pyrolysis | Decomposing the fuel at a high temperature in the absence of oxygen |
This would deprecate existing values for power_source=* where they combine the source and the method, e.g. power_source=photovoltaic.
