Energy Flow Model

Establishing Corporate Carbon Footprint Emissions with Advanced Configurations

Energy Flow Models.mp4

The energy flow model forms the basis for footprint calculations and links all the elements that are relevant for this calculation. It consists of various elements that are combined to the energy flow of a company. All of these elements can be fully modeled in the SAP Sustainability Footprint Management Solution, and when coupled with the business data pulled from your company's source system, it enables you to calculate your company's complete carbon footprint. In this demonstration, you will create an Energy Flow Model. To start with, you will set up two energy carriers for Electricity and Gas. From the Launchpad screen, Click Model Energy Flow app. Select the Energy Carriers tab and Click Create. To create a new Energy Carrier, Enter Natural_Gas in the ID field. Enter Natural Gas as description. For the Unit of Measure, Choose the Input Help to open a drop-down list with valid values. Enter Cubic Meter in the Search field. Click Search. From the displayed list, Choose the option Gram/Cubic Meter. Click Create. Click Back to return to the main screen. View the newly created Energy Carrier for Natural Gas. To create another Energy Carrier, Click Create. In the ID field, Enter ELECTRICITY. Fill in the Description field with the Value, Electricity. Choose the Input Help Unit of Measure to open a drop-down list with valid values. Enter Kilowatt hour in the search field and Click Search. Select the option Kilowatt hour. Click Create. Click Back to return to the main screen. You have created the second energy carrier. Follow the same process to create for the other energy carriers. Now that all the energy carriers are created, you will set up the energy sources. Start with creating the Energy source. Choose the Energy Sources tab, and Click Create. Fill in the details: ID: Enter X_ASO_DIE_5 Enter Diesel with 5% Biodiesel in the Description field. Select Energy Source Type from the drop-down list with valid values. Select Fuel. Again, Select the Energy Carrier from the drop-down list. Select Diesel. In the Plant Assignment section, Click Assign Plants. Select ASO_Berlin and Click Assign. Note: The plant is the same for all Energy Sources. In the Section Emission Factor Period section, Click Create. Ensure the option Mass- or Volume- Based is selected for the Calculation Method field. For the Emission Factor Reference field, Use the Input Help to select the option. Search for ASO and choose ASO_BIO_Diesel_Scope1 from the filtered list. Click Select. For the Calculation Method field, using the drop-down list, Select Supplier-Specific. For Emission Factor Reference field, use the Input Help and search for ASO. Choose ASO_BIO_Diesel_Scope 3.3A from the displayed list. Click Select. Click Apply. Click Create. You have now created the energy sources for diesel. Click Back. Repeat the steps to create the other Energy Sources. In this learning video, this will be automatically done for you. Using the Navigation, review the details for Steam Cooling Electricity Natural Gas and Heat. You have set up 6 Energy Sources. Now, you will import the meters using the template or manually create them. Navigate into one of the meters and you would see the meter details. You will now set up energy consumption of the facilities in the headquarter Berlin. Note: Resources are imported into the application from the backend system. Therefore, they are master data entities and automatically pulled into the Energy flow model. From the main screen, Select the Facilities tab. In this learning video, three facilities will be automatically created. In the screen for creating new facilities, Enter the details. ID: ASO_DC_10 Description: Data Center Berlin 1 For the plant, use the Input Help and Select ASO_Berlin from the displayed list. You have now created the facilities for Data Center. To create one more facility, return to the main screen and Click Create. Fill in the details: ASO_BUILD_05 as ID Canteen as Description Using the Input Help for plant, Select ASO_Berlin from the displayed list. The facilities for canteen are created. You have now created 5 facilities for the Headquarter Berlin. Return to the main screen. You will now create an Energy Flow Model. To start with, ensure you are in the Energy Flow Model tab page. Click Create. Enter ASO_EFLW_10 and Energy Flow Model Berlin as Description. For the Plant field, Click Input Help to open a drop-down list with valid values. Select ASO_Berlin from the displayed list. Choose the tab Graphical Flow Modeler. Note: Ignore the error message if prompted. Note that the application has pulled in all the relevant information, the energy sources, facilities and meters, and you can start building the energy flow model manually. Select the List-based Modeler tab. Click Import File. Use Browse to select the required file. Click Upload. Once the import is successful, click Close. Return to the Graphical Flow Modeler tab. The application has pulled in all the relevant information, the energy sources, facilities, and meters. Note: You can also start building the Energy Flow Model manually by dragging and dropping nodes to the modeler. For example, you can choose the sender and receiver by clicking the nodes. Scroll and select the modeler Natural Gas Supply E-Flow. Click Receiver Node and View the details. Click Cancel. Select the Modeler Combined Heat and Power Plant. Click Sender Node. View the details and Click Cancel. Click Create. Click Release. Select the tab List-based Modular. Scroll to view the imported node types under Energy Source. Select Graphical Flow Model tab. You can see the complete energy flow model in the Graphical Flow Modeler. You have now created an Energy Flow Model.
