High frequency measurement of carbon emissions based on power big data: A case study of Chinese Qinghai province.

In this paper, we build the electricity‑carbon model with techniques of frequency transformation, and statistical modeling. With macro statistical data released by Statistics Bureau of Qinghai Province and high-frequency power big data provided by State Grid Qinghai Electric Power Company, based on the electricity‑carbon model we apply the inventory method to measure the monthly carbon emissions of Qinghai Province and its prefectural-level cities, as well as its industry, construction, and other five industries. Additionally, we apply the same method to measure the emission reduction contribution of green power by using the data of proportion of "green power".
