Data and Information
Data refers to real situations represented by symbols to be interpreted. This information is often called “qe.” Then we say the information is obtained by grouping a set of data. Data can be regarded as the raw material of information.
Process
- 1. Entry into the system (input)
- 2. Handling (processing)
- 3. The production of a result (output information)
The information is, therefore, the result set of a process of transformation of the data that is interpreted by human beings.

A system is a collection of elements or components that are organized for a common purpose. The main difference between a system and a set of elements is that a system is defined by the relationships between elements. A set, instead, is simply a collection of elements.
An energy system is a sequence of energy processes, isolated from the surroundings and interacting with them, including plants and devices realizing those processes of determined properties and parameters. A surrounding of an energy
