DANTES LCC-LCA
Battery.
The aim of this report is to describe an Excel tool for simplified
Eco-efficiency calculations.
The tool was made to make simple environmental and economical evaluations of
battery systems. The batteries can be operated in two configurations; cycles or
float. In cycles the battery is unloaded and loaded in distinct cycles and in
float the battery is continuously unloaded and loaded depending on the current
power need.
The tool allows the user to compare different battery systems for the same
application in respect to environmental impact (calculated with selected
evaluation methods) and cost.
This Dantes report is one in a series of five describing the LCC tools
developed by ABB. The others Dantes reports are:
A summary of the experience of developing these tools is presented in the Dantes
report
