This is in a call for tenders for a CHP power plant, in a list of items not covered by the tender but to be provided by the customer on site. I'm puzzled as to what exactly "leistungsfeld" is in this context. None of the ordinary usages (range of services, power range etc.) yseems to make much or any sense.
* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Call for tenders
* Target audience: Engineering company
* Country and dialect (source): German
* Country and dialect (target): American English
Explanation: As defined with the Reference, the bay contains switchgears, disconnectors, busbars, measuring devices and accessories.
This is called power section by Eaton/Möller
Just in time for the Hannover trade fair, Eaton's Moeller Business present three more convincing and "intrinsic values" in their xEnergy switchgear system for up to 4000 amps: The new ACB circuit breaker IZM 20 for the power section, the new load disconnector equipped with fuses for the outgoing section and the innovative plug-in technology for a significant reduction of the time and effort of assembly.
Pünktlich zur Hannover Messe wartet Eatons Geschäftsfeld Moeller bei seinem Schaltanlagensystem xEnergy bis 4000A mit drei weiteren überzeugenden inneren Werten auf: Erstens mit dem neuen ACB Leistungsschalter IZM 20 für das Leistungsfeld, zweitens mit einem neuen Lasttrennschalter mit Sicherungen für das Abgangsfeld und drittens mit einer innovativen Steckeinsatztechnik, die den Montageaufwand [...]

CHP plants
(for power and heat generation with integrated emepergency power function)
Our switch gears for CHP systems are part of the whole range of power and heat generation.
The fuel cell's power section then combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce water and electricity. A converter changes the direct current output from the power section into alternating current prior to it being fed into the local power grid. http://www.energy-network.net/resource_center/launch_documen...
Power section provided with a fixed 4000A, 3 pole, air circuit breaker, to connect the generator to the load. This air
circuit breaker is equipped with a motordrive for charging, spring release coil and undervoltage trip coil. Overcurrent
protection is offered via the power organizer which is part of the generator set control panel.
A solid copper bus bar system is used and engineered for a fault rating of 50kA / 1 sec.
Busbar entry for utility connection shall be at the bottom of the panel. Generator connection is from top. http://jjcartagena.com/Documents/EPMptar4.1 CAT GAS G3520C C...

By the way, I checked also the term "power bay" in connection with "CHP", but no relevant hit found under the first 100.
And "switchgear" alone is not correct, as the bay (or section) comprises more devices.

Explanation: This composite term ist rare enough, even unique. I think they want to express that the bay has to contain a circuit breaker. Medium Voltage abbreviated to shorten the term in EN.

Reference information: 3.2. Leistungsfeld
Bei Anlagen mit mehreren Modulen und nur einem Einspeisepunkt ist ein sog. Leistungsfeld notwendig. Es umfasst folgende Elemente/Funktionen:
· Zusammenführung der einzelnen Modulfelder über Sicherungslasttrenner auf ein Sammelschienensystem
· Messung der erzeugten elektrischen Arbeit der BHKW-Module mit beglaubigtem elektronischem Drehstromwandlerzähler mit S0-Impulsausgang
· Bereitstellung von Dreh- und Wechselstromabgängen für verschiedene Verbraucher (zB. Heizungsanlage, Beleuchtung); bei Bedarf Drehstromzähler für die Verbrauchsmessung der og.
Geräte
· Hauptschalter zum Freischalten der gesamten Anlage, ausgelegt auf die Gesamtleistung der Module http://www.comuna-metall.de/ftp/anl-50-110kw.pdf

Please note, that this description does not coincide with
Power bay
Erklärung:
The HV switchgear bays, each with the breaker and isolator, that connect the switchgear to the external power line(s) http://deu.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/electronics_elec...
I will look for another appropriate term
