2: Battery system evaluation The purpose of the tool developed by ABB is to evaluate the cost
and environmental impact of different battery systems for large power backup
systems (Please see Example
of the system). File:
Example 3: Comparative LCC
evaluation of transformers A tool is
developed by ABB in order to demonstrate the advantages of new and improved
transformer to the customers . The new transformer has higher purchasing price but several advantages,
such as, lower losses, better at withstanding shortcuts, less maintenance and service.

Example 4: eLCC
and LCA on two colorants Chemical products with environmentally hazardous
properties are one of the main environmental concerns in the chemical industry.
One way to improve the environmental properties of a product that contains a
hazardous substance is to substitute the substance with another chemical that
can fulfill a similar function in the product without the hazardous properties
of the first.
Two chemicals used as surfactants in colorants in water based indoor paint
have been involved in such substitution. The aim of the project was to study the
environmental impacts and environmental costs of the colorants in a way that
allows comparison with environmental impact data from an LCA.
