Energy conversion efficiency

Energy conversion efficiency refers to how effectively a device or system transforms input energy into useful output energy. For example, when a turbine generates electricity, not all the energy from fuel or steam is converted into electrical power; some is lost as heat or friction. Efficiency is measured as a percentage of the input energy that becomes useful output. A higher efficiency means less energy is wasted, making the system more cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Improving efficiency helps maximize the benefit from energy resources and reduces waste and emissions.
