Summary

This proposal has been obsoleted by Proposed features/generator rationalisation.

A power=generator may produce electricity, heat or cooling by many different methods.

Suggested usage:

power_method	thermal	Using heat
power_method	photovoltaic	Using photovoltaic cells
power_method	combustion	Burning the fuel
power_method	gasification	Gasifying the fuel, then burning it
power_method	anaerobic_digestion	Breaking the fuel down with microorganisms in the absence of oxygen
power_method	pyrolysis	Decomposing the fuel at a high temperature in the absence of oxygen

Deprecates

This deprecates the following values for power_source=*:

Old value	New tagging
power_source=photovoltaic	power_source=solar power_output=electricity power_method=photovoltaic
power_source=solar-thermal	Either power_source=solar power_output=heat power_method=thermal Or power_source=solar power_output=electricity power_method=thermal
