Summary: An algorithm to calculate each node's exact carbon emission rate via generation mix.

There are growing interests on carbon accounting and clean energy technologies. In the electricity power networks, each generator has distinct carbon emission rates. Due to the existence of physical power lines and power flows, nodal power consumption is met by a combination of a set of generators, while such combination is determined by network topology, generators’ and lines' characteristics, and power demand.

This work describes a technique based on physical power flow model, which can efficiently compute the nodal carbon emissions contributed by each single generator given the generation and power flow information.

We also extend the technique to calculate both the nodal average carbon emission and marginal carbon emission rates.
