Total generation: 4,120 billion (kWh) 3,950 billion (kWh) in 2009 Source: http://www.eia.doe.gov WHY? Energy –Emissions
3
Polluting Emissions from Electricity Generation http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-02-16/pdf/2012-806.pdf http://www.epa.gov/mats/actions.html

Air Quality Visual Health (asthma) GHG………Climate (?) Contaminant Deposition Surface Water Soils Vegetation Food Chain Fish Consumption And,…. Even for the “non-environmentalist”……… Policy: Government Specified Caps Emissions Effects
5
Problem: How to identify emission potential? Locational Marginal Price as Proxy for Generator Type LMP at time t i Hydro & Nuclear Coal Natural Gas Oil Price ($/MWh)
6
LMPs based on marginal cost of supplying the next increment of electric demand at a specific location LMP Accounts for: generation marginal cost (fuel cost) physical aspects of transmission system (constraint in transmission lines) Cost of marginal power losses Locational Marginal Prices (LMP)
7
Methodology Use LMP to point to the marginal fuel type Calculate emissions associated with that fuel type for a specific area (or specific generator)
8
Environmental Optimization Linking Consumption to Emissions 1. Source Identification Dispatch adjusted every 5 minutes within MISO 2. Emission Quantification Function of generator type
9
Locational Marginal Prices LMPs available from MISO (Midwest Independent System Operator) LMPs for select Commercial Pricing Nodes (CPNs) available every 5 minutes
10
Locational Marginal Prices…spatial variation LMP = f (space,time)
11
Locational Marginal Prices….temporal variation
12
Emission Rates LMP Marginal Generator Type Air Emissions Measured Air Emissions Data from EPA’s eGRID (Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database) Data on thousands of power plants in the US Sort by EGCL code (Electric Generating Company, Location-Based) i.e., all of DTE-operated plants in SE Michigan WE WANT THIS TO BE DEFINED ON THE FINEST GRID POSSIBLE….compare to an approach based on national averages of emissions/KWh
13
Emission Rates Calculate average emission rate for entire area for each fuel type Example, Detroit Edison: (2008 data) LMP Marginal Generator Type Air Emissions Air Emissions in pounds pollutant per MWhr generated (lb/MWh) PollutantNuclearCoalNatural GasDistilled Fuel Oil SO2010.541.652.3445 NOX03.051.5721.73 CO2 equiv0207122921862 Hg05.26E-053.62E-065.81E-06 Pb1.09E-073.10E-051.66E-063.65E-05
14
Putting it Together: the HERO app HERO = Home Emissions Read-Out (LMP Marginal Generator Type Air Emissions) Applying this concept to household energy use Android App for smart phones
15
14 HERO: Home Emissions Read-Out HERO ARCHITECTURE
16
HERO Input HERO can automatically find nearest CPN based on phone’s GPS User also has choice to pick location from map
17
HERO Output Current, Past, and Projected Future emissions CO 2, NO X, SO X, Mercury, Lead
