Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a calculation system, and more particularly to a carbon emission calculation system and a carbon emission calculation method.

Background Art

[0002] The current calculation of carbon emissions is mainly based on large-scale calculations. However, as the internal carbon price setting becomes an important tool for enterprises to reduce carbon emissions, it is currently impossible to reduce or manage carbon in specific scenarios. For example, since the carbon emissions of an elevator cannot be automatically calculated individually, it is impossible to effectively utilize carbon emission data to improve the awareness of each enterprise about carbon reduction or to support the internal carbon price setting of enterprises.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a carbon emission calculation system and a carbon emission calculation method capable of calculating an individual's carbon emissions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The carbon emission calculation system of the present invention includes a computing device and a detection element. The detection element is coupled to the computing device and provided on a mobile carrier. When the detection element detects the identity of the user, the detection element outputs inbound data to the computing device, and the computing device starts to calculate usage information based on the inbound data. When the detection element detects the identity of the user again, the detection element outputs outbound data to the computing device, and the computing device ends the calculation of usage information based on the outbound data. The computing device calculates the individual carbon emissions based on the inbound data, outbound data, and usage information calculation.

[0005] The carbon emission calculation method of the present invention includes the following steps. When a detection element provided on a mobile carrier detects the identity of a user, inbound data is output to a computing device via the detection element. Based on the inbound data, the calculation of usage information is started via the computing device. When the detection element detects the identity of the user again, outbound data is output to the computing device via the detection element. Based on the outbound data, the calculation of usage information is ended via the computing device. The individual carbon emissions are calculated via the computing device based on the inbound data, outbound data, and usage information calculation.

Advantages of the Invention

[0006] Based on the above, the carbon emission calculation system and the carbon emission calculation method of the present invention can calculate the individual carbon emissions of a user boarding a mobile carrier.

[0007] In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, embodiments are shown below and will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Next, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be referred to in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. As much as possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or similar parts.

[0010] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a carbon emission calculation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the carbon emission calculation system 100 includes a computing device 110 and a detection element 120. The computing device 110 may be coupled to the detection element 120 through a wired or wireless method. In this embodiment, the detection element 120 is provided in a mobile carrier 200, and the inbound data and outbound information of the user getting on and off the mobile carrier can be recorded. The computing device 110 can calculate the individual carbon emissions based on the inbound data and outbound information of the user getting on and off the mobile carrier. The computing device 11 may be realized, for example, by a remote monitoring host or a cloud server, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The mobile carrier 200 may be a carrier such as an elevator, an escalator, a bus, or various vehicles.

[0011] In this embodiment, the computing device 110 includes a computing module 111 and a database 112. The computing module 111 may include, for example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or other programmable general-purpose or dedicated microprocessors, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs), other similar processing circuits, or combinations of these devices. In this embodiment, the database 112 may include a memory. The detection element 120 may be a sensing and / or physical detection element such as various identity verification devices.

[0012] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a carbon emission calculation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the carbon emission calculation system 100 may perform the following steps S210 to S250. In the present embodiment, the mobile carrier 200 may be an elevator facility, and a user (for example, a company employee) can board the elevator facility. In step S210, when the detection element 120 first detects the identity of the user, the detection element 120 can output inbound data to the computing device 111. The inbound data may be start floor information. In step S220, the computing device 111 can start calculating usage information based on the inbound data. In step S230, when the detection element 120 detects the identity of the user again, the detection element 120 can output outbound data to the computing device 111. The outbound data may be arrival floor information. In step S240, the computing device 111 can end the calculation of usage information based on the outbound data. In step S250, the computing device 111 can calculate the individual carbon emissions based on the inbound data, the outbound data, and the usage information calculation.

[0013] In one embodiment, the usage information may include the usage time when the user boards the mobile carrier 200. The computing device 111 can calculate the individual carbon emissions based on the power parameters, usage time, and power carbon emission coefficient corresponding to the mobile carrier 200. Here, the computing device 111 can obtain the individual carbon emissions CE1 by calculating the following formula (1). In formula (1), P is the power parameter of the elevator facility (unit: watt) (a known parameter). t is the usage time of the mobile carrier 200. EF is the power carbon emission coefficient of the elevator facility (unit: carbon emissions / kilowatt-hour) (a known parameter). Note that the power carbon emission coefficient can be determined based on the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted per kilowatt-hour of electrical energy generated by different power generation methods and energy sources, and the present invention does not limit this. CE1 = P × t × EF ………… formula (1)

[0014] For example, when the user enters the elevator facility and punches through the detection element 120, the computing device 111 can obtain inbound data and start calculating the usage (boarding) time. When the user leaves the elevator facility and punches through the detection element 120, the computing device 111 can obtain outbound data and end the calculation of the usage time. Therefore, the computing device 111 can calculate the individual carbon emissions according to the above formula (1).

[0015] Also, in another embodiment, the usage information may include the power consumption record of the mobile carrier 200. The computing device 111 can calculate the individual carbon emissions based on the power consumption record corresponding to the mobile carrier 200 and the power carbon emission coefficient. Here, the computing device 111 can obtain the individual carbon emissions CE2 by calculating the following formula (2). In formula (2), ER is the elevator energy consumption data (unit: kilowatt-hour) obtained through the power consumption record element. CE2 = ER × EF ………… Equation (2)

[0016] For example, when a user enters the elevator facility (mobile carrier 200) and punches through the detection element 120, the computing device 111 can acquire inbound data and start calculating the power consumption. When the user leaves the elevator facility and punches through the detection element 120, the computing device 111 can acquire outbound data and end the calculation of the power consumption. Therefore, the computing device 111 can calculate the individual carbon emissions according to the above formula (2).

[0017] In another embodiment, when the detection element 120 detects the identities of multiple users, the computing device 111 can calculate the total carbon emissions of the mobile carrier based on the maximum usage information. Furthermore, the computing device 111 can calculate the per capita carbon emissions (i.e., individual carbon emissions) on different floors based on the multiple inbound data and multiple outbound data corresponding to the identities of these users.

[0018] For example, assume that N people board the elevator on the m0th floor and head towards the m1th floor. Assume that K people board the elevator on the m0th floor and head towards the m2th floor. Assume that I people board the elevator on the m0th floor and head towards the m3th floor (m3 > m2 > m1 > m0). The computing device 111 can divide the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m0th floor to the m1th floor by N to obtain the average carbon emissions per person for N people. The computing device 111 can add the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m0th floor to the m1th floor by N to the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m1th floor to the m2th floor by K to obtain the average carbon emissions per person for K people. The computing device 111 can add the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m0th floor to the m1th floor by N to the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m1th floor to the m2th floor by K, and further add the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the m2th floor to the m3th floor by I to obtain the average carbon emissions per person for I people. Therefore, based on this calculation, the computing device 111 can calculate the average carbon emissions per person for each floor. Furthermore, examples of different numbers of people and different floors can also be calculated in the same way.

[0019] Also, for example, assume that 5 people board the elevator on the 1st floor, 3 people head towards the 5th floor, and 2 people head towards the 7th floor. Taking the individual carbon emissions upon arrival at the top floor (7th floor) as an example, the computing device 111 can add the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the 1st floor to the 5th floor by 5 to the result of dividing by the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the 5th floor to the 7th floor to obtain the individual carbon emissions of the 2 people who arrived at the 7th floor. The individual carbon emissions for other floors can also be calculated in the same way.

[0020] Also, for example, when 5 people board the elevator on the 1st floor, 3 people head to the 5th floor, 2 people head to the 7th floor, and when they arrive at the 3rd floor, taking the individual carbon emissions of the 2 people arriving at the top floor (7th floor) as an example, the computing device 111 divides the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor by 5, adds the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the 3rd floor to the 5th floor by 7, and further adds the result of dividing the total carbon emissions of the elevator equipment from the 5th floor to the 7th floor by 2 to obtain the individual carbon emissions of the 2 people arriving at the 7th floor. The individual carbon emissions of other floors can be calculated in the same way.

[0021] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a carbon emissions calculation system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, the carbon emissions calculation system 300 includes a computing device 310 and a detection element 320. The computing device 310 may be coupled to the detection element 320 through a wired or wireless method. In this embodiment, the detection element 320 is provided inside the mobile carrier 200 to record the inbound data and outbound information of the users getting on and off the mobile carrier. In this embodiment, the computing device 310 includes a computing module 311 and a database 312. The database 312 is coupled to the computing module 311. The computing module 311 can calculate the individual carbon emissions based on the inbound data and outbound information of the users getting on and off the mobile carrier. The computing module 311 can execute the methods shown in the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2 to calculate the individual carbon emissions and / or the carbon emissions of multiple people.

[0022] In this embodiment, the computing module 311 can record inbound data and outbound data in the inbound and outbound database 3121 in the database 312, and record individual carbon emissions and / or multiple-person carbon emissions in the carbon emissions database 3122 in the database. In this embodiment, the computing module 311 can execute the application program 313, and the application program 313 can read the database 312 to display data on individual carbon emissions and / or multiple-person carbon emissions. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the application program 313 can perform related analysis and computing based on the data of individual carbon emissions and / or multiple-person carbon emissions to generate corresponding carbon emissions evaluations or proposals, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The application program 313 can also display data on individual carbon emissions and / or multiple-person carbon emissions through a specific user interface, and / or enable the user to execute a query function related to the above-mentioned carbon emissions information through the application program 313.

[0023] In summary, the carbon emissions calculation system and method of the present invention calculate information on carbon emissions generated when each user boards a mobile carrier, record the relevant information in a database, and provide access for facilitating carbon management and / or carbon price setting for, for example, enterprises or individuals. The carbon emissions calculation system and method of the present invention can obtain individual carbon emissions and / or multiple-person carbon emissions, and can be used for purposes such as formulating carbon reduction strategies (i.e., carbon management) or collecting internal carbon prices (i.e., carbon price setting).
