In power systems, expression of system quantities as fractions

thumb|Transformation in joining up sectors Power-to-X (also P2X and P2Y) are electricity conversion, energy storage, and reconversion pathways from surplus renewable energy. By linking the power sector to other energy sectors, power-to-X conversion technologies offer the possibilities to exploit synergies across the whole energy as intended with the concept of sector coupling and fully integrated smart energy systems.
