Description

The technical application of this industrial process is the production of a 1.5 MW wind turbine tower, specifically designed for use within a wind farm setting. The towers manufactured through this process are utilized to support 1.5 MW wind turbine units, contributing to the generation of renewable energy. This industrial process is pertinent for areas such as Inner Mongolia, which is known to have significant installations of wind power facilities. When utilizing the LCA dataset for this manufacturing process of wind turbine towers, users should ensure to consider the specific energy consumption and pollutant emission profiles detailed in Xue et al., 2015. It is important to include the environmental impacts associated with the production of the wind turbines, substations, and cables in the assessment. Users should also note the original data source (Wang 2012) for wind power parameters and be aware of the geographical specificity of the data (Inner Mongolia, China), which might influence the transferability of results to other regions.
