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 using the LCA data set for the manufacturing process of the nose-cone for a 1.5 MW wind turbine, it is crucial to ensure that all assumptions and parameters from the underlying studies are consistent with the scope of your assessment. Be aware that the environmental impacts are specific to the production conditions in Inner Mongolia and that they take into account regional energy mixes and technological practices. If applying the data in a different context, adjustments may be required to reflect local conditions. Attention should be given to changes over time in technological practices and emission factors which may affect the relevance of the data set. |
Technical purpose of product or process | The nose-cone manufactured in this process is designed specifically for use in 1.5 MW wind turbines. This component contributes to the aerodynamic performance and protection of the turbine's internal components. These wind turbines are typically deployed in large-scale wind farms for the generation of renewable energy, as exemplified by the wind farm consisting of 33 domestic 1.5 MW wind turbines located in the northeast of Inner Mongolia. |
