Explanation
|
| Total Energy Production
| refers to the total production of primary
energy by all energy producing enterprises in the country
in a given period of time. It is a comprehensive indicator
to show the capacity, scale, composition and development
of energy production of the country. The production
of primary energy includes that of coal, crude oil,
natural gas, hydro-power and electricity generated by
nuclear energy and other means such as wind power and
geothermal power. However, it excludes the production
of fuels of low calorific value, bio-energy, solar energy
and the secondary energy converted from the primary
energy.
|
| Total Domestic Energy Consumption
| refers to the total consumption of energy
of various kinds by material production sectors, non
material production sectors and households in the country
in a given period of time. It is a comprehensive indicator
to show the scale, composition and development of energy
consumption. The total energy consumption includes that
of coal, crude oil and their products, natural gas and
electricity, However, it excludes the consumption of
fuel of low calorific value, bio-energy and solar energy.
Total domestic energy consumption can be divided into
three parts:
(1)Final Energy Consumption: It refers to the total
energy consumption by material production sectors, non
material production sectors and households in the country
(region) in a given period of time, but excludes the
consumption in conversion of the primary energy into
the secondary energy and the loss in the process of
energy conversion.
(2)Loss During the Process of Energy Conversion: It
refers to the total input of various kinds of energy
for conversion, minus the total output of various kinds
of energy in the country in a given period of time.
It is an indicator to show the loss that occurs during
the process of energy conversion.
(3)Loss: It refers to the total of the loss of energy
during the course of energy transport, distribution
and storage and the loss caused by any objective reason
in a given period of time. The loss of various kinds
of gas due to gas discharges and stocktaking is excluded.

| Elasticity Ratio of Energy Production
| is an indicator to show the relationship
between the growth rate of energy production and the
growth rate of the national economy. The formula is:
Elasticity Ratio of Energy Production = Average Annual
Growth Rate of Energy Production Average Annual Growth
Rate of National Economy
The average annual growth rate of the national economy
can be shown by the gross national product, gross domestic
product and other indicators, depending upon the purposes
or needs. The gross domestic product is used in calculation
of the ratio in this chapter.
|
| Elasticity Ratio of Electricity Production
| is an indicator to show the relationship
between the growth rate of electricity production and
the growth rate of the national economy. Generally speaking,
the growth rate of electricity production should be
higher than that of the national economy.
Its formula is:
Elasticity Ratio of Electricity Production = Average
Annual Growth Rate of Electricity Production Average
Annual Growth Rate of National Economy
|
| Elasticity Ratio of Energy Consumption
| is an indicator to show the relationship
between the growth rate of energy consumption and the
growth rate of the national economy. The formula is:
Elasticity Ratio of Energy Consumption = Average Annual
Growth Rate of Energy Consumption Average Annual Growth
Rate of National Economy
|
| Elasticity Ratio of Electricity Consumption
| is an indicator to show the relationship
between the growth rate of electricity consumption and
the growth rate of the national economy.
The formula is:
Elasticity Ratio of Electricity Consumption = Average
Annual Growth Rate of Electricity Average Annual Growth
Rate of National Economy
|
| Efficiency of Energy Processing and Conversion
| refers to the ratio of the total output
of energy products of various kinds after processing
and conversion and the total input of energy of various
kinds for processing and conversion in the same reference
period. It is an important indicator to show the current
conditions of energy processing and conversion equipment,
production technique and management.
The formula is:
Efficiency of Energy Processing & Conversion = Output
of Energy After Processing & Conversion / Input
of Energy for Processing & Conversion¡Á100%
