Abstract
This report titled Technical Guidelines: Generator Efficiency Standards deals with the technical aspects of the Efficiency Standards for Power Generation (referred to as Generator Efficiency Standards or GES).
This second in a set of two guidelines provides background theory and principles on power plant and cogeneration plant thermal efficiency, and indicative options for reducing greenhouse intensity. It covers the application of the GES program (measured in terms of greenhouse intensity) to Australian fossil fuel based electricity and steam producers (when in conjunction with electricity production), as well as existing and proposed producers, and sets out recommended practices.
It was publicly released in January 2001 and complements the first set of guidelines titled Program Guidelines: Generator Efficiency Standards outlining GES implementation parameters.
