What time granularity is used for kWh -> CO2e convertion ratios?

AntonioSousa — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 07:48:35 GMT

Carbon emissions, due to electricity generation, may vary wildly along time. We can consider yearly averages, seasonal averages, daily averages, and even in more detail. In Portugal, detail is for 15 minutes, and today's current production is pretty green (considering the imports from Spain were pretty green):

It would be important to know what resolution Dynatrace uses, as it might be argued that certain computations could be moved, amongst other reasons, to periods where green energy is being generated...

The current granularity is anual, based on anual averages provided by regulators (EU for example).
In a few days documentation will be updated with all those details.

Hi @AntonioSousa

There is also a short path to open live chat with Dynatrace product expert for the highlighted concern.
