System for determination of a quantity of emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from the heating of an electrical conductor of an electrical cable by the Joule effect

Abstract

A system (100) for determination of a quantity of emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from the heating of an electrical conductor of an electrical cable by the Joule effect includes an electrical cable (10) having at least one electrical conductor (12) and at least one layer of material surrounding the at least one conductor, and a measurement unit (110) associated with the electrical cable. The measurement unit has at least one temperature sensor (20) and a device (112) for measurement of the electrical intensity Icond of an electrical current circulating in the electrical conductor. A calculation unit (120) is configured to communicate information with the measurement unit, the calculation unit being configured to determine the conductor temperature Θcond by means of the at least one temperature sensor. The calculation unit is further configured to determine a quantity of emissions of carbon dioxide resulting from the heating of the electrical conductor by the Joule effect as a function of the conductor temperature Θcond and the electrical intensity Icond in the electrical conductor.
