AER uses real-time, location based marginal emissions rates to optimize your device to run on cleaner energy. This
graph shows the real-time emissions rates and how your device responded to that constant fluctuation.
A dashboard for a device that's been running awhile will look something like this:
The y axis is the re-
al-time marginal emis-
sions rate.
The y-axis is the real-time marginal emissions rate and the x-axis is the time of day.
You can see your device consuming electricity via the green line and turning off via the red line, all while operating within
the windows you set for the acceptable run times for that device. The off times generally correspond to the changes you
see in the emissions. An emissions rate greater than 1,800 lbs CO2/MWh indicates that coal is likely on the margin. An
emissions rate between 1,000 lbs/MWh and 1,800 lbs/MWh means that a natural gas plant is likely on the margin. Below
1,000 lbs/MWh, it is likely that renewables or efficient natural gas plants are providing marginal electricity.
Interpreting the Dashboard
This is when your device
is switched off because
of increased emissions.
This is the grid region
your device is located in.
You can see when your
device is consuming
electricity.
