Description

This dataset represents the life cycle of a wind power generation system within a typical wind farm in Yulin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. This system is used in the evaluation of environmental and economic performance of wind energy as compared to thermal power. The production process of both epoxy resin and polypropylene is involved as part of the manufacturing stage of the wind turbines' components. These materials are commonly used in the construction of wind turbine blades and components, owing to their strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. When utilizing this dataset, users should adhere to the system boundaries as defined for wind energy and thermal power within the study. Users need to apply the provided life cycle assessment methodology for the evaluation of environmental and economic impacts. This includes considering the raw material consumption, energy use, and emissions across the life cycle—a functional unit of 1 kWh of electricity generation. For cost-effectiveness analysis, the monetary value of electricity per kWh should be considered. It is essential to account for the reliability and availability of the data, particularly cost data which is derived from the feasibility report of a wind farm in Kangping County, Liaoning Province.
