How can I compose an electricity mix, which contains medium voltage?

Question

Good morning OpenLCA staff and everyone, how can I compose an electricity mix, which contains medium voltage power generation. e.g.: electricity production from natural gas, not at high voltage, but at medium voltage. I noticed that in ECOINVENT 3.9.1, all energy production flows (with some exceptions) and the related providers are at "High Voltage".

Thanks in advance.

Hello Cipriano, 

It is my understanding that power generation from natural gas generates power with a high voltage. To have a medium voltage electricity from natural gas, you need to convert it to medium voltage. There is a small loss associated with this conversion. I advise you to find the dataset: electricity voltage transformation from high to medium voltage l electricity medium voltage l Cutoff/apos/consequential, U. If you copy this process, and alter it so that the high voltage input electricity is from natural gas, the output of the process will be medium voltage from natural gas. 

I hope this helps, good luck.
