[0037] Data processing and calculation The data platform cleanses the transmitted data (removes noise data and abnormal data), integrates data from different sources, establishes a unified data model, and stores it.

[0038] The carbon flow calculation module calculates according to the following formula: Gas-steam combined cycle power generation / heating carbon emissions: (distinguish between power generation and heating gas consumption, split according to energy distribution ratio, and then substitute into the formula E 燃机 =Q 燃气 ×ρ×LHV×C×12 / 44); Heating system auxiliary emissions: substitute into the formula E 供热辅助 =E 供热电 ×EF 电 +Q 散热 ×η 排放 (Pipeline network heat loss is converted into additional fuel consumption as needed); Cooling system carbon emissions: substitute into the formula E 供冷 =E 制冷电 ×EF 电 for electric refrigeration, and substitute into the formula E E 吸收式制冷 =Q 制冷燃气 ×ρ×LHV×C××12 / 44; Total system auxiliary emissions: formula E 总辅助 =(E 发电电 +E 供热电+E 制冷电 +E 光伏运维电 )×EF 电 ; Photovoltaic power generation carbon absorption: substitute formula A 光伏 =E 捕获 photovoltaic × (EF−EF 燃机 photovoltaic) (update according to photovoltaic module type, life cycle, and regional energy structure adjustment); Carbon capture system absorption (if present): substitute formula A 吸收式制冷 =(E 捕获 photovoltaic × η 净 ; Net carbon flow: substitute formula E 燃机 =(E 热辅助 supply + E 供冷 photovoltaic + E 总辅助 )−(A 光伏 + A 捕获 + A 植被 ).
