power

Power is the rate at which energy is being transferred. Power tells you how many Joules per second of energy is being used to drive something. Thus power is simply the change in energy divided by the time. Since work is by definition the transfer of energy  in or out of a system , power is also equal to the work divided by the time. Efficiency tells you how efficient something is and gives a number between 0 and 1. If the efficiency is equal to 1, then the machine is perfectly efficient  that is all the power used to drive it goes to the out put of the machine with no energy losses . If the efficiency is zero, then all of the input power is lost in the machine and the machine can not output any energy.
