  6. Content • Introduction to Leonardo ENERGY • The W’s of the toolbox • Examples • Demonstration • How to work with the toolbox

  7. Why focus on (electrical) energy? • Environmental impacts from energy use: • To atmosphere: • Sulphur emissions to atmosphere: 85% • Carbon-dioxide: 78% • Particulate emissions: 45% • Lead emissions: 41% • Non-methane hydrocarbon: 40% • Electricity consumes 40% of primary energy

  8. Reducing the environmental impact of electricity • 2 approaches • Clean generation & efficient conversion • Renewables • Combined-cycle • … • Efficient use • Reduce the amount of electricity needed to provide an energy service

  9. Why an ecodesign toolbox? • For material producers: • Define environmental performance of active materials in the use phase • ‘less’ is not always ‘more’ • For equipment manufacturers: • Marketing tool for high efficiency • Environmental declaration • For energy users: • Declaration of improved environmental performance • For policy makers: • Environmental impact of policy measures on efficiency • Include externalities into policy making

  10. Why now? Availability of good LCI material databases Availability of tools allowingparametrized LCA Ecodesign toolfor parametrizedLCA of equipmentfamilies Experience with LCA forelectrical equipment Electrical equipment catalogswith large # varieties

  11. Ecodesign toolbox - how • 90% of environmental impact of electrical equipment is caused by electricity use • The remaining part is mainly caused by the extraction, production and transformation of materials • Life-cycle assessment for equipment can be simplified, based on good data for • Environmental profile for materials • Equipment lifetime, load, efficiency • Environmental profile of electricity

  12. Which life-cycle stages? • Production • Only material use • Use phase • Only electricity use, based on European grid mix • End-of-life • Credit for materials re-used

  13. Which impact categories? • materials use • energy use • climate change • photochemical oxidant formation • acidification • eutrophication • ozone layer depletion • end-of-life waste • Not included: toxicity, physical effects (noise, vibration, electromagnetic fields)

  14. Which equipment types? • Power cable • Overhead lines • Transformers • Dry-type • Oil-cooled • Motors

  15. Next steps • Generic equipment model • Bill-of-materials • Losses or energy use in kWh(no load modelling) • Including thermal equipment • How to handle power electronics? • Generic generation model • Major types of conventional generation • Wind, ocean, and photovoltaics • Not biomass

  16. Generation, conversion and end-use generation equipment ? energy primary carrier energy conversion loss e.g. power stations, wind generators end-use conversion equipment equipment energy energy energy energy service input output input energy loss e.g. transformers, motors, cables e.g. appliances, pumps, lighting systems

  17. Utilization Modelling Manufacturing End-of-Life

  18. Load modelling • Transformers: • Motors: • Cables:
