Description

This unit process represents the production/service of 1kWh of electricity, Japan, 2014 ,in Japan created from statistical information and other sources.
The system boundary of this process is "power generation -> power transmission, public electricity."

Technology

Process which converts various energies to electric power.
Potential energy of water is converted into electricity in hydroelectric power generation. Thermal energy by combustion is converted into electricity in thermal power generation. Thermal energy by nuclear fission is converted into electricity in nuclear power generation. Thermal energy of underground is converted into electricity in geothermal power generation. Wind energy is converted into electricity in wind power generation. Solar energy is converted into electricity in solar power generation.
Product is 1kwh in the receiving end, and takes into account station service power and transmission and distribution loss.
Numerical value of FY2011 is used for transmission and distribution loss rate of FY2012.
Targets 10 general electricity utility companies.
There are sources of general electricity other than above general electricity utility companies in Japan, and they do not supply all the public electric power in the country.
