Full title and description
ISO 37160:2020 — Smart community infrastructure — Electric power infrastructure — Measurement methods for the quality of thermal power infrastructure and requirements for plant operations and management. This international standard defines methods and requirements to measure and manage the quality of thermal power infrastructure within the context of smart community electric power systems.
Abstract
This document specifies methods for measuring the quality of thermal power infrastructure (QTPI) during the operational phase and sets out requirements for operations and management activities. It is intended for electric power providers (including public utilities and independent power producers) and other stakeholders aiming to maintain and improve QTPI; selection and importance of evaluation indicators can vary with operator characteristics.

Scope
ISO 37160:2020 covers measurement methods for assessing the quality of thermal power infrastructure during operation, and establishes requirements for plant operations and management to support consistent measurement and improvement of QTPI. The standard targets power plant operators and related stakeholders responsible for maintaining and improving thermal power performance within smart community electric power systems.
Key topics and requirements
- Defined measurement methods for the quality of thermal power infrastructure (QTPI) during the operational phase.
- Requirements for operations and management activities to sustain and improve thermal power infrastructure performance.
- Guidance on selection and prioritization of evaluation indicators according to power plant operator characteristics.
- Integration of QTPI measurement within the broader smart community electric power infrastructure context.
Typical use and users
Primary users are electric power providers — including public utilities and independent power producers — plus asset managers, operations and maintenance teams, system integrators and municipal or community stakeholders responsible for electric power infrastructure planning and resilience. The standard is used to standardize measurement approaches, support performance benchmarking, and inform operations and management decisions.
Related standards
ISO 37160 is part of the ISO work on sustainable cities and smart community infrastructure (ISO/TC 268). Related and commonly referenced standards in this family include ISO 37101 (Sustainable development in communities — management systems) and ISO 37120 (Sustainable cities and communities — indicators for city services and quality of life), which provide complementary management-system and indicator frameworks for community sustainability and service performance.
