A power source is a source of
power. Most commonly the type of power referred to is:
Power (physics), the rate of doing work; equivalent to an amount of energy consumed per unit time
Electric power, the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit; usually produced by electric generators or batteries
Power source may correspondingly refer to:
A source of
primary energy, an energy form found in nature that has not been subjected to any conversion or transformation process
Energy carrier, or secondary energy, a substance or phenomenon that contains energy that can be later converted to other forms such as mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or physical processes
Fuel, a material that stores potential energy in forms that can be practicably released and used for work
See
Energy development for an overview of primary and secondary energy or power sources
or, often more specifically to an electric power source:
Mains electricity or household power, the general-purpose alternating-current (AC) electric power supply
AC power plugs and sockets, devices that allow electrically operated equipment to be connected to the primary alternating current (AC) power supply in a building
PowerSource, a weekly print section, and a companion website of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, highlighting the Pittsburgh region’s diverse energy industry
