Abstract
The efficiency of a power station is a measure for the quality of the conversion of heat into electricity. It is an important quantity from economical and environmental points of view. The standard provides appropriate rules and instructions. Particular attention is put on thermal outcoupling from power stations. The standard applies to conventional thermal power stations which are used as units exclusively or primarily for power generation.
