Division 6 Error in the CO2 savings due to the standard deviation (propagation law)

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The standard deviation of the efficiency value of the alternator (ΔηΑ), leads to an error in the CO2 savings. This error is to be calculated by means of the following formulaf1:

Formula (5)
  • ΔCO 2 = P m − RW − P m − TA × 1 ∕ η Α − EI 2 × Δη Α × V Pe × CF p ∕ v
  • Where:

    ΔCO2
  • error in CO2 savings (g CO2/km);

  • PRW
  • 750 W;

  • PTA
  • 350 W;

  • ηΑ–EI
  • Efficiency of the high efficient alternator;

  • ΔηΑ
  • Standard deviation of the efficiency of the alternator (result of equation in Formula (4);

  • VPe
  • Willans’ factors (l/kWh);

  • CF
  • Conversion factors (g CO2/l);

  • v
  • mean driving speed of the NEDC (km/h)

    This formula (5) can be derived from the error propagation law which is explained in the Technical Guidelines (par. 4.2.1).
