| 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 | Users of this LCA data set should consider the context of the wind farm's location in northeast Inner Mongolia, where wind power installation is most prevalent, to assess environmental impact appropriateness. When employing this data, users must account for manufacturing stages encompassing production of wind turbines, substations, and cables, while paying special attention to the energy consumed and pollutants emitted during these processes as documented by Xue et al. (2015). Ensure that the functional unit for assessment corresponds to the 1.5 MW turbine's life cycle. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The manufactured iron towers, equipped to support 40 cable lines, are specifically used for the construction of wind farms. These towers are part of the infrastructure that enables the mounting of 33 domestically produced 1.5 megawatt (MW) wind turbines, which are utilised for generating renewable energy and reducing environmental impacts through substitution effects. |
