6.2.4.1. Electricity Mix¶
For electricity consumption the electricity mix (environmental parameters) and the tariff can be specified.
The electricity mix can be defined as
- constant parameters throughout the year
In this case the electricity mix can be selected from the data base
- variable (hourly variation) values for both tariff and environmental parameters
In this case the corresponding parameters can be defined and loaded from a data file with hourly data (8760 rows) in csv-format (see the section on monitoring data )
The data file should contain the following columns:
TIME TariffC TariffCHP PEConv CO2Conv NoNukesConv 1 0,10165 0,07115 3,134 0,522 5,224 2 (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) 8760 (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)
- TIME: time of the year in hours (from 1 to 8760)
- TariffC: electricity tariff on consumption (in cents of EUR/kWh)
- TariffCHP: electricity tariff for sales to grid (in cents of EUR/kWh)
- PEConv: conversion factor from electricity to primary energy (in kWh_PE / kWh_el)
- CO2Conv: conversion factor from electricity to CO2 (equivalent) in t/MWh
- NoNukesConv: conversion factor from electricity to highly radioactive nuclear waste in g/MWh
