Abstract
A fundamental drawback of the traditional block diagram of power engineering is shown, one due to which people analyzing the efficiency of the country’s power facility have no choice but use an energy utilization factor overestimated by several times. The need to correct this scheme is substantiated: the area of the end use of energy is singled out and is given the status of a new field of power engineering and, logically, is called the “power engineering of a technology.”
