Abstract

Electrical grids are one of the major sources of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), which are harmful to the environment because they contribute to global warming. As the geographical, environmental, political, and policy constraints are different, policies and research frameworks from developed countries cannot be used directly in developing countries. This paper suggests a completely integrated quantification approach (IQA) and sub-methodologies, such as SM1, SM2, and SM3, that consider the limitations, evaluates the effects, and suggest a way to deal with climate change problems on the power grid. From the perspective of renewable energy (RE) integration and GHG emissions (mainly CO 2 ), the proposed approach addresses the limitations in the policy framework extending to 2030. In addition, the effects of the changes in the ambient temperature, from 0.5 °C to 2 °C, have been examined for thermal power generation and transformers. Lastly, the proposed method considers how energy-efficient devices (EEDs) affect the residential load sector. The results show that households used 10.7% less energy and their costs decreased significantly. This work’s quantitative approach gives a specific way to reduce the carbon footprint of the electrical grid.
