[en] The article gives an account of the use of the computer in a power station for which there are increasing possibilities. The basis of the data collection are shown in the introduction which includes analogue and binary formation; conversion of the analogue values into digital form for the measured value collection; checking the plausibility; measured value formation and organisation of lists. The further parts are concentrated on the central points of the use of the computer within the power station operation for the supervision, at acceptance tests and for the statistic optimisation. It is especially for the supervision over longer periods that the computer is particularly suitable as means for automisation which can collect and process quickly the great number of data available. Critical annotations as well as the views on the various ranges of application complete the report. (orig.)
