IEC 63277 Ed. 1.0 en:2021

This document specifies the performance test methods for binary power generation systems.

It defines the normalized test conditions and estimates the power generation efficiency of binary power generation systems.

It specifies the binary power generation systems having heating medium of non-pressurized hot water, with a maximum temperature less than 100 °C created by renewable energy or wasted heat in the industrial field and cold water as cooling medium.

It is applied to binary power generation systems with electric power generation capacity of less than 100 kW.

This document specifies performance testing, the standard conditions and the test methods for determining the electric power output and power generation efficiency of binary power generation systems.

It includes heating conditions (temperature, flow rate) and cooling conditions (temperature, flow rate).

The requirements of testing and rating contained in this document are based on the use of matched assemblies.

This document does not include binary power generation systems more than 100 kW in electric power generation capacity.

The subject heating medium here is non-pressurized hot water with a temperature of less than 100 °C.
