1 Energy Payback Time Definition2 Technology Dependence of The Energy Payback Time3 Geographical Dependence of The Energy Payback Time4 Energy Return on (Energy) InvestmentThe Energy Payback Time (EPBT) is the period of time required by a renewable energy system to generate the same amount of energy that was used to produce the system itself. It is usually quantified in equivalent primary energy using a conversion efficiency factor. It can also be defined as the ratio of cumulative energy demand (CED) to mean net ene...See more on link.springer Email: [email protected]: Antonio Urbinagreenfellgroup [PDF]
