This paper presents a unified coherence-based framework for energy system optimization across seven major modalities: photovoltaic conversion, electrochemical storage, wind generation, fusion confinement, power grid management, thermal systems, and hydrogen production. Drawing on the Prisymphonic Coherence Framework, energy conversion efficiency is reinterpreted as a coherence parameter governed by golden-ratio scaling, threshold dynamics, and topological optimization. The framework introduces energy-specific formulations of the three governing Prisymphonic equations, a decoherence compression operator predicting extended coherent operation, and the Braided Resonance Equation applied to energy architecture with angular optimization. Seven domain-specific embodiments are developed, each deriving from the same governing equations applied to distinct physical substrates. A five-layer Energy Coherence Control System architecture is proposed for real-time monitoring and correction. The work is situated within the emerging quantum thermodynamics literature demonstrating that coherence enhances work extraction and energy conversion efficiency, and extends these findings from quantum-scale devices to macroscopic energy systems through a single mathematical formalism that reduces to standard physics in all appropriate limits.
