Environmental Cost of Transformer Losses for Industrial and Commercial Users of Transformers
2011 North American Power Symposium, 2011Co-Authors: Pavlos S. Georgilakis, Juan C. Olivares-galvan, Rafael Escarela-perez, Issouf Fofana, George StefopoulosAbstract:Improvements in energy efficiency of electrical equipment reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contribute to the protection of the environment. This paper proposes a simplified model that quantifies the Environmental Cost of transformer losses and incorporates it into the economic evaluation of distribution transformers for industrial and commercial users of transformers. This Environmental Cost is coming from the Cost to buy GHG emission credits because of the GHG emissions associated with supplying transformer losses throughout the transformer lifetime. Application results indicate that the Environmental Cost of transformer losses can reach on average 35% of transformer purchasing price for high-loss transformers. That is why it is important to incorporate the Environmental Cost of transformer losses into the economic evaluation of distribution transformers.

Environmental Cost of distribution transformer losses
Applied Energy, 2011Co-Authors: Pavlos S. GeorgilakisAbstract:Improvements in energy efficiency of electrical equipment reduce the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contribute to the protection of the environment. Moreover, as system investment and energy Costs continue to increase, electric utilities are increasingly interested in installing energy-efficient transformers at their distribution networks. This paper analyzes the impact of the Environmental Cost of transformer losses on the economic evaluation of distribution transformers. This Environmental Cost is coming form the Cost to buy GHG emission credits because of the GHG emissions associated with supplying transformer losses throughout the transformer lifetime. Application results on the Hellenic power system for 21 transformer offers under 9 different scenarios indicate that the Environmental Cost of transformer losses can reach on average 34% and 8% of transformer purchasing price for high loss and medium loss transformers, respectively. That is why it is important to incorporate the Environmental Cost of transformer losses into the economic evaluation of distribution transformers.

life cycle assessment and Environmental Cost accounting of coal fired power generation in china
Energy Policy, 2018Co-Authors: Jinman Wang, Ruogu Wang, Yucheng ZhuAbstract:Abstract It is necessary to analyze the Environmental impact of the entire process of coal-fired power generation to take effective measures for controlling energy consumption and reducing pollutant emission. However, very few studies have examined the coal mining, washing and transportation stages in the life cycle of coal-fired power generation and it's Environmental Cost. In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method was adopted to analyze the Environmental impact of coal-fired power generation in China. Further, the relevant Cost theory was used to calculate the resource consumption Cost and external Environmental Cost of coal-fired power generation. The key Environmental impact category was smoke and dust, and the main emissions were CO2, CO, SO2, TSP, COD, and boiler ash. The emissions with high Environmental Cost were coal, SO2, COD, and boiler ash. The Environmental Cost at the power generation stage was the highest, with a value of $50.24. The resource consumption Cost and external Environmental Cost per unit of MWh power in the life cycle was $46.01 and $22.90, respectively. Upgrading the facilities for emission reduction, improving emission standards of pollutants, and strengthening process management of coal-fired power generation are effective ways to reduce the burden on the environment.

life cycle carbon dioxide emissions simulation and Environmental Cost analysis for building construction
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015Co-Authors: Juisheng Chou, Kuanchih YehAbstract:Abstract The construction industry causes a number of complex Environmental effects, particularly carbon dioxide emissions. In the past decade, decision makers in the construction industry have focused on economic Costs rather than Environmental habitat concerns. However, in recent years, companies have slowly realized the importance of the Environmental effects of building life cycles, in addition to maximizing profit. Therefore, this study developed a carbon dioxide emissions evaluation system and an Environmental Cost calculation method. The simulations considered the consumption of fossil fuel, electricity, and water. A systematic approach was proposed for optimizing the balance of the carbon dioxide emissions and Environmental Cost during building life cycle. Particularly, this study demonstrated a simplified metric for converting carbon dioxide emissions into Environmental Costs. The proposed method can guide engineers and architects in evaluating the primary Environmental risk for a building life cycle and selecting an appropriate construction method.

Using an adapted HEP to assess Environmental Cost
2011Co-Authors: N. Dumax, Anne RozanAbstract:At local scale, infrastructure development plans cause damages to nature and reduce ecosystem services. As a consequence, land planners have to take rigorously into account Environmental damages resulting from their plans. Yet, when dealing with land planning in complex natural areas, existing valuation methods reach their limits. Decision aiding tools are still needed to better introduce Environmental impacts into decision-making processes. This paper analyses potential improvements brought by the adapted HEP, highlighting the expected benefit of an operational use. Inspired from an American equivalence-based valuation method, the adapted HEP uses the implementation Cost of ideal compensatory measures to assess the Environmental Cost of an infrastructure development plan. Thus, the valuation is grounded on the Environmental damage itself, and consequently on ecological data, rather than willingness to pay.

Using an adapted HEP to assess Environmental Cost
Ecological Economics, 2011Co-Authors: N. Dumax, Anne RozanAbstract:The situation regarding the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services is now critical. Consequently, Environmental targets have been determined and Environmental legislations at every level tend to be more demanding. The result at local scale is that land planners have to take more rigorous account of the Environmental damage stemming from their infrastructure development plans. Several economic valuation methods can be used to perform a monetary valuation of losses of natural areas. However, existing valuation methods have reached their limits when dealing with land planning in complex natural areas (i.e. unfamiliar goods). Wepropose to use a method based on the American Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP) to assess the Environmental Cost of infrastructure development plans. The “adapted” HEP is an equivalence-based valuation method that bases the valuation of Environmental Cost on the Environmental damage itself rather than willingness to pay. We find that compared to more conventional methods, the “adapted” HEP gives a higher value to lost Environmental assets, which is rather promising.
