Overview
ETAP’s Sustainability Analysis module estimates the carbon footprint of electrical networks by tracking electricity generation from sources and consumption across network elements, such as loads and distribution systems, over time. The tool utilizes region-specific, time-varying emission factors from a dataset covering 172 balancing authorities worldwide, providing critical insights to improve accessibility. Custom values can also be entered to ensure flexibility in regions where data is unavailable.
- Total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of the designed electrical network over time.
- GHG emissions from local generation and from electricity consumed from the local utility.
- GHG emissions resulting from SF6 leakage in certain electrical components.
- Contributions to GHG emissions from loads and electricity losses in each network component.
