  "abstract": "Universal properties of efficiency at maximum power are investigated in a general setting. In particular, it is demonstrated how successive symmetries placed upon the dynamics manifest themselves at the macroscopic level. A general condition is derived for which thermodynamic devices are able to attain a reversible operation.",
