proportion of useful energy output to total energy input, and is normally stated as a percentage: useful energy output (divided by) total energy input (multiplied by) 100
the ratio between the quantity of primary energy used to produce a secondary form of energy and the quantity of secondary energy actually produced. It is calculated as follows: electric energy produced + thermal energy produced/energy used.

Kütuse sellisel oksüdatsioonil ehk nn külmpõlemisel on keemilise energia elektriks muundamise kasutegur kõrgem (40–90 %) kui soojuselektrijaamades (25–40 %), kus kütuse keemiline energia muundub kõigepealt soojuseks ja alles siis mehaanilise töö vahendusel elektrienergiaks.
... it can be shown that the measures beneficial in terms of the protection of the environment because the conversion efficiency (25) is particularly high, because the measures will allow energy consumption to be reduced or because the production process will be less damaging to the environment.
