Reference product: electricity, high voltage [kWh]
Location: MK - North Macedonia
This dataset represents the production of high voltage electricity at onshore grid-connected wind power plants with a capacity between 1 (excluded) and 3 (included) MW worldwide in 2012. It includes operation and maintenance expenditures as well as infrastructure inputs. Wind load hours have been adapted to local conditions (see parameters).
At the moment, the class of onshore 1-3MW wind turbines is approximated with a 2 MW onshore wind turbine consisting of the infrastructure datasets for the 'wind turbine construction' and the 'network connection construction'. The wind turbine's parts are defined to be everything except for the network connection, i.e. rotor, nacelle, tower, and foundation.
[This dataset has been generated using the system model "Allocation, cut-off by classification". A system model describes how activity datasets are linked to form product systems. The allocation cut-off system model subdivides multi-product activities by allocation, based on a physical properties, economic, mass or other properties. By-products of waste treatment processes are cut-off, as are all by-products classified as recyclable. Markets in this model include all activities in proportion to their current production volume.
Version 3 of the ecoinvent database offers three system models to choose from. For more information, please visit: https://www.ecoinvent.org/database/system-models-in-ecoinvent-3/system-…)]
