Energy efficiency
  1. Energy input = power(w) x time (s)
    1. Calculating efficiency
      1. to calculate efficiency we need to know the energy going in and the useful energy output
        1. Efficiency= (useful energy/ Total energy input) x 100
      2. power station efficiency
        1. CHP- combined heat and power
          1. 45% of its energy is wasted in the cooling water. it is used to heat the local houses. the efficiency is up to 80%
          2. CCGT- combined cycle gas turbines
            1. new gas stations have been made more efficient by using CCGT. these use natural gas to power a jet engine which turns a generator. then they create steam with the exhaust gas to drive another generator. this method is up to 55% more efficient and can start up easily and quickly to anwer demands for electricity rises.
