| 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 the LCA data set for the manufacture of the 1.5 MW wind turbine flange, users should consider the technological applicability of the data. Ensure that the data aligns with the specific wind turbine model and its intended application for accurate environmental impact assessment. Consideration should be given to regional differences in manufacturing practices and potential variations in environmental impacts. The data should not be generalized for other types or sizes of wind turbines without proper adaptation. Make sure to account for any updates or technological advancements in wind turbine production that have occurred since the data was collected in 2012. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The 1.5 MW wind turbine flange serves as a critical connection component between the wind turbine and its supporting tower. This specially manufactured flange is integral to the structural integrity and operation of wind energy systems. It is used exclusively in the assembly of wind turbines that are rated at 1.5 MW, which are commonly installed in large wind farms for commercial electricity generation. |
