Description

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. 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.
