Description

Reference product: maintenance, stirling heat and power co-generation unit, 3kW electrical, wood pellet, future [unit]
Location: RoW - Rest-of-World
The module reflects the maintenance for a Stirling cogeneration unit with 3 kW electrical output. Operation of the unit with wood pellets. Inventory based on estimations and information from one manufacturer. Maintenance is carried out every year or 5'300 h. Life time operation is 15 years or 80'000 h.

[The full documentation of this dataset was originally provided in the corresponding ecoinvent report from the Swiss Centre for Life Cycle Inventories, which is accessible for free to guests and users of ecoinvent version 2 (https://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html). The dataset may subsequently have been subjected to central changes to the database, as described in the respective change report for each new release.]
[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-…)]
