Abstract: Large scale power plants based on nuclear or conventional fuel provide about 80 % of generated electricity in the EU and nearly 90 % of hot water used for district heating. Despite the important and necessary increase of renewable energy by approximately 10 % by the year 2020, large scale power plants will form the backbone for the secure supply of energy for the next few decades. It is evident, that improving the energy efficiency of nuclear, coal and gas plants will generate a significant contribution to energy conservation, preservation of natural resources, reduction of emissions and the protection of the environment. The joint research project called Power Plant (http://www.power-plant-efficiency.de) focuses both on the metrological research necessary to reduce the measurement uncertainty of the important control parameters (temperature, flow, thermal energy and electrical output) of power plants and on research on advanced materials to be used in future turbines. The total results of the research work could lead to an overall additional enhancement of energy efficiency of 2 % - 3 % for all types of large power plants, and a commensurate reduction of emissions. The metrological research activities within the project are organized in 4 work packages (WP) covering temperature (WP1), thermophysical properties (WP2), flow (WP3) and on-site electrical power output measurements (WP4). This paper describes the different work packages and presents some of the preliminary results from WP3
