Impact factors

For one power supply the embedded impact is:

\[ \text{power_supply}_\text{embedded}^\text{criteria} = \text{power_supply}_\text{unit_weight} * \text{power_supply}_ \text{embedded_weight}^\text{criteria} \]

with :

Constant Unit Value
\(\text{power_supply}_\text{embedded_weight}^\text{gwp}\) kgCO2eq/kg 24.30
\(\text{power_supply}_\text{embedded_weight}^\text{adp}\) kgSbeq/kg 8.30E-03
\(\text{power_supply}_\text{embedded_weight}^\text{pe}\) MJ/kg 352.00

Info

If there are more than 1 power we multiply \(\text{power_supply}_\text{embedded}^\text{criteria}\) by the number of power supply given in units._

Usage impact

Only power consumption is implemented. This shouldn't be used in most cases since the electricity consume by a power supply is consume on behalf of other components.
