Abstract:
This paper presents an open-source tool for environmental quantification of dismountable and diagnosable power electronics systems. It models environmental impacts, system failures, and subsequent replacements. The necessity of open-source tools in this context is discussed, along with an overview of the tool's functionality and a case study. The paper concludes with potential contributions from the community.
