Hourly carbon dioxide emission factors for Italy

The data-set reports the hourly carbon dioxide emission factors related to electricity consumption and expressed in kg/kWh for Italy over a period of 4 years (2016-2019). The model employed to determine the hourly emission factor is presented in:
“Interpolating functions for CO2 emission factors in dynamic simulations: the special case of a heat pump”, by Valdiserri P., Ballerini V. and Rossi di Schio E.., at present submitted for publication.

The distinctive characteristics of the model are:
- electricity exchanges between Italy and other Countries are taken into account;
- power grid losses are considered;
- the emission factor is referred to electricity consumed in Italy and not only on electricity produced.

本数据集报告了意大利在2016年至2019年期间与电力消耗相关的每小时二氧化碳排放系数，并以kg/kWh为单位进行表达。用于确定每小时排放系数的模型由Valdiserri P.、Ballerini V.及Rossi di Schio E.所著的《动态模拟中CO2排放系数的插值函数：热泵的特殊情况》一文提出，该文目前正处于投稿发表阶段。该模型具有以下显著特点：- 考虑了意大利与其他国家之间的电力交换；- 考虑了电网损耗；- 排放系数参照的是意大利所消耗的电力，而非仅限于电力生产。
