Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, data used to estimate the carbon impact ouf of electrical consumption is stored in the package, stored manually.
CPU references & their TDP values are often requested by users, and must be integrated in a manual way.
Data center carbon impact & global energy mix values are updated at most yearly when we get the data, with heterogeneous sources.
Describe the solution you'd like
A clear process to update data, which can be applied to the following paramters :
- Datacenter PUE, when available
- Location-based energy mix
- Country-based energy mix
- Datacenter WUE
- Processors TDP
- Other ?
It could be exposed to the user via multiple ways :
- Make it available through the public API, and make the OnlineTracker query it periodically
- Export a new version of the datasets at each release, for a full offline fallback
- Other ?
Both ways would require an ingestion task, which could be automated quite easily.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
Additional context
Could help solving following issues: #894, #513, #503, #435, #403 (with a better support / doc of electricitymaps), #384, #365, #336, #222, #138
What could be interesting data sources ?
