Physics:Surface power density (horizontal)
From HandWiki
Horizontal surface power density is the amount of power per unit of horizontal area of land or water occupied by an energy system.[1],[2] The term is usually shortened to "power density" in the relevant literature, which can lead to confusion with homonymous or similar terms.
The concept was popularised by geographer Vaclav Smil.
