| Use advice for data set | When utilizing this LCA dataset, users should adhere to the outlined system boundaries and consider the full life cycle of the wind power system, which includes material sourcing, production, operation, and end-of-life management. Users should account for environmental aspects by measuring emissions of CO2, SO2, NOX, and PM10, as well as the economic aspects by considering the cost per kWh of electricity generated. It is crucial to integrate cost data from reliable sources such as feasibility reports from similar wind farms. Analysts may compare the environmental and economic performance of this system against traditional power generation methods to highlight the co-benefits of wind energy. Always ensure data consistency and proper methodological alignment with current LCA standards and practices. This information is vital for stakeholders looking to invest, develop, or improve wind power infrastructure with a focus on sustainability and economy. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The described process pertains to the life cycle of a wind farm system mainly for the production of renewable energy, particularly wind power. The process considers the entire lifecycle of wind turbines, from production to end-of-life stages, in Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. The system's lifecycle is split into five stages: production, transportation and installation, power generation, maintenance, and end-of-life recycling and disposal. The wind farm, equipped with 24 turbines each with a capacity of 1.25 MW, is intended for environmentally friendly power generation with an emphasis on economic feasibility and cost-effectiveness. The focus on CO2, SO2, NOX, and PM10 emissions, as well as cost per kWh of electricity, indicates the application of this dataset in measuring and analyzing the environmental impact and economic performance of wind energy systems in comparison to traditional thermal power generation. |
