[0030] It is understood that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and related provisions.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the principles and spirit of this disclosure will be described below with reference to several exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided merely to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement this disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure in any way. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0032] In this article, it is important to understand that any number of elements in the accompanying figures is for illustrative purposes and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the embodiments of this disclosure should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in the embodiments of this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

The article "a" or "an" preceding an element does not exclude the existence of multiple such elements.

[0034] The principles and spirit of this disclosure will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0035] As described in the background section, related technologies suffer from problems such as low efficiency in manual data collection, data silos due to a lack of data standards, and insufficient credibility due to a lack of professional verification. Specifically, existing technologies mainly rely on manual data entry, which suffers from low automation, low efficiency, and susceptibility to errors. This makes it difficult to meet the requirements of carbon footprint accounting for real-time data, accuracy, and continuity. Furthermore, the lack of unified data standards in existing technologies leads to inconsistencies in the format, units, and system boundaries of carbon footprint data from different sources (such as suppliers and production systems), forming "data silos" that are difficult to recognize and integrate, thus failing to provide a consistent and comparable data foundation for quantitative analysis.

[0036] Furthermore, existing data fusion methods lack the embedding of professional knowledge in the field of electrical equipment, and cannot automatically identify and verify logical errors in the data that violate physical laws and industry common sense, resulting in low credibility of fused data, which may mislead subsequent process optimization analysis and carbon footprint assessment.

[0037] To address the aforementioned issues, this disclosure provides a method and related apparatus for assessing the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products using multi-source data. The method includes:

[0038] This invention discloses a method for automating, real-time, and highly accurate carbon footprint data collection. By identifying the carbon footprint data of electrical equipment products, standardizing the carbon footprint data, and transforming the standardized carbon footprint data to obtain carbon footprint data feature vectors, and then identifying the carbon footprint data feature vectors to obtain domain semantic labels, the method evaluates the domain semantic labels to obtain carbon footprint data evaluation results. Compared to the outdated methods relying on manual entry and report aggregation, this invention overcomes the data access challenges of multi-source heterogeneous equipment in manufacturing sites through intelligent IoT agents and protocol parsing libraries. It achieves unmanned, real-time, and automatic collection of carbon footprint data from systems such as sensors, MES, and ERP. This completely avoids the inefficiency, delays, and errors caused by manual operation, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of data collection and providing a continuous and reliable data foundation for dynamic quantification. Furthermore, this invention overcomes the industry challenge of inconsistent standards and ineffective integration of multi-source carbon footprint data.

[0039] Unlike existing technologies that suffer from "data silos" due to inconsistent data formats, units, and system boundaries, this disclosure adopts the ILCD international standard as a unified "data intermediate language." By constructing a core data model and a semantic mapping rule engine, heterogeneous data is automatically converted into standardized datasets with consistent semantics and formats. This enables seamless integration and comparison of data from different stages such as suppliers, production, and transportation, fundamentally ensuring the consistency and comparability of carbon footprint accounting results.

[0040] Finally, this disclosure ensures the authenticity, reliability, and consistency with common sense in the field of carbon footprint data, thereby enhancing the credibility of the quantification results. Addressing the issue that general fusion methods cannot identify logical errors in the data, this disclosure employs an adaptive credibility verification mechanism based on a knowledge graph in the electrical equipment field. This mechanism automatically verifies whether the data violates the physical laws governing materials and processes, and performs quantifiable credibility scoring and precise source tracing for abnormal data. This not only effectively intercepts erroneous data but also ensures the authenticity and reliability of the data input into the quantification model, making subsequent carbon footprint analysis, process optimization, and low-carbon decision-making more accurate and effective.

[0041] After introducing the basic principles of this disclosure, various non-limiting embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the multi-source data assessment method for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products provided in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0043] This application scenario includes a terminal device 101 and a server 102. The terminal device 101 and the server 102 can be connected via a wired or wireless communication network to achieve data interaction.

[0044] Terminal device 101 may be an electronic device located close to the user side, possessing data transmission and multimedia input / output functions, including but not limited to desktop computers, mobile phones, portable computers, tablet computers, media players, smart wearable devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), or other electronic devices capable of performing the aforementioned functions. This electronic device may include a processor and a display screen with touch input functionality. The display screen is used to present a graphical user interface (GUI), which can display an application interface. The processor is used to process application data, generate the GUI, and control the display of the GUI on the screen.

[0045] Server 102 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, the multi-source data assessment method for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products can be run on terminal device 101 or server 102.

[0047] When the multi-source data assessment method for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products is run on server 102, server 102 is used to provide multi-source data assessment services for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products to users of terminal device 101.

[0048] Server 102 determines the carbon footprint data of electrical equipment products, and server 102 standardizes the carbon footprint data to obtain standardized carbon footprint data.

[0049] Server 102 transforms the standardized carbon footprint data to obtain a carbon footprint data feature vector;

[0050] Server 102 identifies the feature vector of the carbon footprint data to obtain the domain semantic label of the carbon footprint data;

[0051] After evaluating the domain semantic tags and obtaining the carbon footprint data evaluation result, the server 102 transmits the carbon footprint data evaluation result to the terminal device 101.

[0052] It should be noted that the above application scenarios are shown only to facilitate understanding of the spirit and principles of this disclosure, and the implementation of this disclosure is not limited in any way. On the contrary, the implementation of this disclosure can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0053] refer to Figure 2 A method for assessing the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products using multi-source data, the method comprising the following steps:

[0054] Step S210: Determine the carbon footprint data of electrical equipment products, and standardize the carbon footprint data to obtain standardized carbon footprint data.

[0055] In this step, by connecting with the supplier's MES / ERP, energy management, transportation scheduling and other systems, real-time raw carbon emission data of electrical equipment products in each stage of raw materials, production, transportation, use and dismantling are automatically collected on a "T+1" basis. Based on the ILCD international standard, unit conversion, format unification and semantic mapping are performed on multi-source heterogeneous data to completely eliminate the delay and error caused by manual reporting.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, the carbon footprint data includes: carbon footprint data of raw material acquisition, carbon footprint data of product manufacturing, carbon footprint data of product transportation, carbon footprint data of product use, and carbon footprint data of product recycling.

[0057] In practice, the method for determining the carbon footprint data of electrical equipment products is as follows:

[0058] The methods for determining the carbon footprint data of raw materials include the following steps:

[0059] By conducting on-site supervision, the relationship between the component names in the supplier's MES / ERP system's BOM list group and the component names in the model group was clarified.

[0060] By conducting on-site supervision, the weight of components in the BOM list is carried out. Some components are weighed in units of weight, while other components that are not weighed in units of weight can be weighed according to the design drawings or by actual weighing.

[0061] Expand the business interfaces between the supplier's MES / ERP system and EIP system. After the BOM list data is maintained in the supplier's MES / ERP system, it is actively pushed to the EIP system through the data interface. The carbon footprint multi-source data fusion system for electrical equipment products relies on the State Grid data platform and obtains existing BOM list information through the EIP system in a "T+1" manner, thereby obtaining carbon footprint data of raw material acquisition.

[0062] In practice, the methods for determining the carbon footprint data of product manufacturing are as follows:

[0063] Currently, suppliers with a high level of information technology use energy management systems to monitor the real-time power consumption of major production equipment. However, monitoring of other energy sources such as coal, oil, and gas at the individual equipment level is not yet possible. Furthermore, the carbon emissions from other energy consumption account for a small proportion of the product manufacturing process, less than 10%. It is recommended that the consumption of other energy sources such as coal, oil, and gas be excluded from the carbon emission data collection scope for the time being, and that only the power consumption data of individual electrical equipment products be considered.

[0064] The supplier's energy management system records the real-time power consumption of each device and expands business interface information. The multi-source data fusion system for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products relies on the data platform and obtains power consumption information in a "T+1" manner through the EIP system.

[0065] The supplier's MES / ERP system records the production schedule of a single transformer in each production process, including specific production time, production equipment, production duration, and other information. It also expands business interface information. The multi-source data fusion system for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products relies on the data platform and obtains the production schedule in a "T+1" manner through the EIP system.

[0066] By conducting on-site supervision, the accuracy of the supplier's production schedule for each electrical equipment product in each production process is verified, and the authenticity of the data is verified through random inspections, ultimately enabling the acquisition of carbon footprint data for product manufacturing.

[0067] In practice, the method for determining the carbon footprint data of product transportation is as follows:

[0068] Based on the existing material codes and actual transportation mileage in the ELP system, the system adds technical specification IDs and transportation vehicle type information, and distinguishes between the actual mileage of road and rail transportation. The multi-source data fusion system for carbon footprint of electrical equipment products relies on the data platform and obtains actual transportation mileage and transportation vehicle type information in a "T+1" manner through the ELP system.

[0069] Based on the existing material codes and technical specification IDs in the EIP system, product weight information is added. The multi-source data fusion system for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products relies on the data platform to obtain product weight information through the EIP system in a "T+1" manner, thereby obtaining carbon footprint data of product transportation.

[0070] In practice, the methods for determining the carbon footprint data of a product are as follows:

[0071] Testing and Installation Phase: Currently, the e-Infrastructure system does not collect information on testing and installation equipment or energy consumption; data cannot be automatically collected at this time. It is recommended that headquarters collaborate with the Infrastructure Department to develop a carbon emission data collection plan for the testing and installation phase.

[0072] Operational phase: First, the multi-source data fusion system for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products obtains the physical ID and equipment ID information of the transformer from the PMS3.0 system; second, the multi-source data fusion system for the carbon footprint of electrical equipment products obtains the transformer equipment ID, real-time input power and output power information of the equipment from the real-time measurement center, thereby obtaining the carbon footprint data of the product.

[0073] Currently, during the monitoring and maintenance phase, the PMS3.0 system is not collecting information on monitoring and maintenance equipment or energy consumption; data cannot be automatically collected at this time. It is recommended that headquarters collaborate with the Equipment Department to develop a carbon emission data collection plan for the monitoring and maintenance phase.

[0074] In practice, the method for determining the carbon footprint data of product recycling is as follows:

[0075] Transportation and handling phase: Given that the ELP system has not yet included the management of decommissioned materials transportation for municipal and prefecture-level material departments, it is recommended that the transportation of decommissioned materials not be included in the scope of carbon emission data collection for the time being.

[0076] Dismantling: Currently, the dismantling center does not monitor individual devices for energy sources such as water and gas. Furthermore, the carbon emissions from water and gas consumption account for a small proportion of the dismantling and post-dismantling disposal phases, less than 10%. It is recommended that water and gas consumption not be included in the carbon emission data collection scope for the time being, and that only the power consumption data of individual electrical equipment products be considered. Firstly, power consumption data collection devices should be installed on each piece of equipment in each dismantling process at the dismantling center to record the real-time operating time and power of each device. The green center should store the real-time power information of each piece of equipment. Secondly, the green center should record the production schedule for individual transformers in each dismantling process, including specific dismantling time, production equipment, and dismantling duration.

[0077] Post-dismantling disposal phase: Currently, the dismantling center has not obtained energy consumption data from solid waste recycling stations and waste-to-energy plants. It is recommended that non-recyclable components not be included in the carbon emission data collection scope for the time being. Regarding recyclable weight data, it is recommended that the recyclable weight of each group of components of a single transformer be recorded at the green center to ultimately obtain the carbon footprint data of product recycling.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the standardization of the carbon footprint data to obtain standardized carbon footprint data includes:

[0079] The carbon footprint data is cleaned to obtain purified carbon footprint data;

[0080] The carbon footprint clean data is converted to obtain unified carbon footprint data;

[0081] A unified data framework was constructed based on international lifecycle data standards.

[0082] The carbon footprint unified data is mapped to the data unification framework to obtain the standardized carbon footprint data.

[0083] In practice, the carbon footprint data is cleaned to obtain purified carbon footprint data in the following way:

[0084] The system receives and performs preliminary processing of raw carbon footprint data in various formats from different stages of the entire lifecycle of electrical equipment products. A unified data input interface is established to receive various data sources, clean missing and outlier values, and ultimately obtain clean carbon footprint data for electrical equipment products.

[0085] In practice, the carbon footprint clean data is converted to obtain unified carbon footprint data in the following way:

[0086] The carbon footprint clean data is converted to a unified unit and initially classified and labeled according to life cycle stage and source to obtain unified carbon footprint data, laying the foundation for subsequent standardization and integration.

[0087] In practice, a unified data framework is constructed based on international lifecycle data standards.

[0088] Within the system, a unified data structure and semantic framework (i.e., a unified data framework) conforming to the ILCD (International Life Cycle Reference Data System) international standard is established. Based on the core concepts of the ILCD standard (such as Process, Flow, FlowProperty, UnitGroup, and LCIAMethod), corresponding data models are defined and constructed in the system database or structure, and necessary metadata attributes (such as substance name, CAS number, environmental medium, and characterization factor references) are pre-defined or managed, providing a standardized "skeleton" and "dictionary" for data fusion.

[0089] In specific implementation, the standardized carbon footprint data is obtained by mapping the unified carbon footprint data to the unified data framework as follows:

[0090] This method accurately transforms and maps carbon footprint data to corresponding entities and attributes within a unified data framework, resolving the issue of inconsistent standards. Utilizing a predefined mapping rule library (containing correspondences from common non-ILCD standards to ILCD standards, and standard ILCD naming for specific materials / energy / processes in electrical equipment), a rule engine combining keywords, semantics, or mapping tables identifies and transforms raw data items (such as "electricity consumption of XX process") into specific ILCD processes and input / output flows. Characterization factors are applied to calculate CO2 equivalents, and uncertainties in allocation rules and data transmission are addressed, achieving standardized data semantics and format, thereby obtaining standardized carbon footprint data.

[0091] Step S220: Convert the standardized carbon footprint data to obtain a carbon footprint data feature vector.

[0092] In some exemplary embodiments, the standardized carbon footprint data is transformed to obtain a carbon footprint data feature vector, including:

[0093] Data association is performed on the standardized carbon footprint data to obtain carbon footprint data association information;

[0094] The carbon footprint data association information is integrated at the boundary to obtain a carbon footprint fusion dataset;

[0095] The carbon footprint fusion dataset is stored to obtain a carbon footprint database;

[0096] The carbon footprint database is format-converted to obtain the carbon footprint data feature vector.

[0097] In specific implementation, the standardized carbon footprint data is correlated to obtain carbon footprint data correlation information; the carbon footprint data correlation information is then integrated at the boundaries to obtain a carbon footprint fusion dataset.

[0098] By associating data, standardized carbon footprint data is constructed into a network of input-output relationships between processes. Then, boundary integration clarifies the system boundaries and coverage, forming a carbon footprint fusion dataset. At the same time, based on the product lifecycle process (bill of materials, process route, logistics information), the data of each unit process are connected into a logically self-consistent system model, and upstream background data, processing and recycling streams and other special scenarios are linked. Ultimately, the fusion dataset of data association and boundary integration and the lifecycle system model are unified.

[0099] In specific implementation, the carbon footprint fusion dataset is stored to obtain the carbon footprint database in the following way:

[0100] The complete and standardized carbon footprint fusion dataset, after fusion, mapping, and association, is persistently stored and ensures its compliance with the ILCD specification, thus obtaining a carbon footprint database. A carbon footprint database structure conforming to the ILCD data model is designed or adopted, storing ILCD process datasets, streaming data, and impact assessment method information containing complete metadata, input / output stream lists, allocation rules, and uncertainty information. It supports exporting in the ILCD standard format and provides version management and data traceability functions.

[0101] In specific implementation, the carbon footprint database is converted to obtain the carbon footprint data feature vector in the following way:

[0102] By converting the standardized data in the carbon footprint database into structured feature vectors through format conversion, and building a standardized API access layer, the dynamic quantification calculation module can directly retrieve semantically clear and formatted carbon footprint data based on ILCD concepts (such as process name, life cycle stage, timestamp, etc.), thereby eliminating the complexity of heterogeneous data processing and providing efficient and consistent data access support for downstream computing.

[0103] Step S230: Identify the feature vector of the carbon footprint data to obtain the domain semantic label of the carbon footprint data.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the carbon footprint data feature vector is identified to obtain a domain semantic label for the carbon footprint data, including:

[0105] Knowledge extraction is performed on the electrical equipment products to obtain a domain knowledge graph;

[0106] Semantic matching is performed between the carbon footprint data feature vector and the domain knowledge graph to obtain the domain semantic labels.

[0107] In specific implementation, the following method is used to extract knowledge from the electrical equipment products to obtain a domain knowledge graph:

[0108] The implicit knowledge and physical laws of the electrical equipment industry are transformed into an explicit, structured rule base that can be recognized and processed by computers. This is achieved by extracting key entities, attributes, and their interrelationships from international standards, industry manuals, technical papers, and expert experience. A domain knowledge graph depicting the complex relationships between "materials-processes-performance-emissions" is then constructed using a graph database. The logic and constraints in this graph are further transformed into executable verification rules. These rules include defining energy consumption ranges for specific material processes, establishing mathematical correlation functions between different parameters (such as the negative correlation between energy consumption and iron loss in silicon steel rolling), and determining the logical consistency between component weight and total weight. This lays a solid foundation for subsequent automated verification.

[0109] In specific implementation, the method for obtaining the domain semantic labels by semantically matching the carbon footprint data feature vector with the domain knowledge graph is as follows:

[0110] The carbon footprint data feature vectors, fused according to the ILCD standard, are precisely associated with predefined domain entities and relationships in the knowledge graph. This is achieved by leveraging the unified semantic tags inherent in the ILCD data model and using an automated semantic matching algorithm to accurately map carbon footprint data feature vectors to corresponding nodes in the knowledge graph. This imbues each feature vector with a profound domain semantic label, transforming it from an isolated numerical value into a knowledge object rich in contextual relationships.

[0111] Step S240: Evaluate the semantic tags of the domain to obtain carbon footprint data evaluation results.

[0112] In some exemplary embodiments, the evaluation of the domain semantic labels to obtain carbon footprint data evaluation results includes:

[0113] The credibility score of the carbon footprint data is obtained by performing credibility quantification on the semantic tags of the domain.

[0114] The credibility score is evaluated using a threshold to obtain the carbon footprint data evaluation result.

[0115] In specific implementation, the credibility score of the carbon footprint data is obtained by performing credibility quantification on the domain semantic tags as follows:

[0116] A comprehensive and automated credibility review is performed on the mapped fused data. Specifically, the rule engine dynamically triggers all relevant verification rules in the knowledge graph based on domain semantic tags, performing multi-level verification from single data points to multiple data associations: including checking whether a single process parameter is within a reasonable value range, and verifying whether the relationship between multiple data points violates physical laws (e.g., verifying whether the "rolling energy consumption" and "iron loss value" data of the same batch of silicon steel meet the preset negative correlation constraint); once a data value is detected to conflict with the rule assertion, the engine immediately generates a detailed "credibility event" record, accurately describing the anomaly type, the violated rule, and the relevant data items.

[0117] Finally, a quantifiable confidence score (e.g., 0-100) is calculated for each data item, and deductions are made based on the level and number of rule-triggered alerts, thus intuitively reflecting its reliability.

[0118] In practice, the carbon footprint data evaluation result is obtained by performing a threshold assessment on the credibility score as follows:

[0119] The system categorizes anomalies (e.g., fatal errors, warnings, alerts). For example, an alert is generated when the credibility score is less than 80; a warning is generated when the credibility score is less than 60; and a fatal error alert is generated when the credibility score is less than 40, triggering a source tracing mechanism. By traversing the relationship chains in the knowledge graph, the upstream source of the abnormal data is accurately located (e.g., an abnormal iron loss value can be traced back to the raw material data of a specific supplier's batch or its corresponding rolling energy consumption anomaly), and the entire impact chain is presented in a visual manner, greatly improving the efficiency and accuracy of data quality problem investigation.

[0120] In this step, a continuously improving closed-loop system can also be built, enabling the verification mechanism to self-evolve and optimize. Specifically, this involves establishing a human feedback interface that allows domain experts to review and confirm system alerts. "False alarms" rejected by experts can be used to adjust the sensitivity or threshold of corresponding rules. Simultaneously, the system continuously analyzes historical verification data and expert feedback using machine learning algorithms (such as association rule mining), proactively discovering potential new patterns or anomalies not yet included in the knowledge base. These are then provided to administrators as new rule suggestions, thereby continuously enriching and optimizing the knowledge graph, making the entire verification system increasingly intelligent and accurate over time.
