| Key Data Set Information | |
| Location | NMG-CN |
| Geographical representativeness description | The data regarding the parameters of wind power has been collected from Wang (2012). A wind farm equipped with 33 domestic 1.5 megawatts (MW) wind turbines is regarded as a case study to analyze the environmental impact and its substitution effects. The wind farm is located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, the province in which most of China’s wind power is installed (Xia and Song, 2017). |

| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this data set for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is crucial to take into account the specific conditions and locations of the studied wind farm for accurate environmental impact analysis. Caution should be exercised in extrapolating the data to wind farms with different characteristics or those located in varying geographies with dissimilar wind profiles. Users must also consider the production and manufacturing stage, involving significant energy consumption and pollutant emissions, as represented by this data set. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set describes the environmental impacts and substitution effects of a wind farm equipped with 33 domestic 1.5 megawatts (MW) wind turbines, suitable for large-scale wind power generation. The referenced wind farm, employed as a case study, is located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, one of China's principal wind power regions. It represents the use of wind power for sustainable, renewable energy production. |
