Abstract

This article presents the EcoDynElec python package that creates temporal historical profiles of various potential environmental impacts for electricity mixes in different regions. The profiles are evaluated with the same electricity modeling structure that is used in life cycle assessment databases, simplifying their consistent combination in studies. The open access information from the ENTSO-E platform is used as an input that enables the creation of profiles that can reach temporal precision of 15 min for the last five years. EcoDynElec is shared to open its use in environmental studies that can be substantially affected by the temporal variability of electricity uses.
