Heat Rate is also a term commonly used in power stations to indicate the power plant efficiency. While Efficiency is a dimensionless measure (sometimes quoted in %) Heat Rate is typically expressed as GJ/GWh. Thus Heat Rate is the inverse of Efficiency - a lower Heat Rate is better. The term heat rate may also refer to: ...
