The aim of this paper is to re-examine the energy–GDP relationship for the US for the period 1946–2000 by redefining … energy in terms of exergy (the amount of energy available for useful work) and the amount of useful work provided from energy … inputs. This enables us to examine whether output growth depends on either the quantity of energy supplied and/or the …

terms of a parameter, energy efficiency. The quantitative relationship of OCV (open circuit voltage) and SOC (state of … charge) for Ni-MH batteries is firstly established to calculate the energy efficiency. Then a comprehensive comparison of the … energy efficiency for Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries is systemically analyzed under different operating conditions. The results …
