What is ISO 50045 ‒ Energy savings of thermal power plants about?
ISO 50045 is an international standard that deals with solutions for energy management and energy savings.
ISO 50045 gives general technical guidelines for evaluating energy savings of thermal power plants before and/or after implementing energy performance improvement action(s) (EPIAs). It includes evaluation, unit component efficiency, indexes calculation, analyses, and reporting.
ISO 50045 is applicable to existing thermal power generating units (TPGUs), where fossil fuels are combusted to generate electricity or to supply thermal energy.
Note 1 : ISO 50045 does not prescribe performance tests or measurements for TPGU equipment components/systems, the sampling and analysis of the fuels used, substances added for control of emissions (e.g., halide, limestone), by-products (e.g., ash, gypsum), and instruments to be employed .
