Summary

This proposal has been obsoleted by Proposed features/generator rationalisation.

A power=generator may produce electricity, heat or cooling by many different methods.

Suggested usage:

power_method thermal Using heat
power_method photovoltaic Using photovoltaic cells
power_method combustion Burning the fuel
power_method gasification Gasifying the fuel, then burning it
power_method anaerobic_digestion Breaking the fuel down with microorganisms in the absence of oxygen
power_method pyrolysis Decomposing the fuel at a high temperature in the absence of oxygen

Deprecates

This deprecates the following values for power_source=*:

Old value New tagging
power_source=photovoltaic power_source=solar

power_output=electricity power_method=photovoltaic

power_source=solar-thermal Either

power_source=solar power_output=heat power_method=thermal Or power_source=solar power_output=electricity power_method=thermal
