Description
This process represents component replacement and recycling management for a single, onshore, average-capacity wind turbine across the national region, covering mainstream models from <1.5 to >=5 MW. Weightings are calculated based on the actual installed capacity share of each power segment. Technical details regarding turbine component replacement and end-of-life treatment can be found in the datasets for respective power-segment units. The data is primarily sourced from official statistics.
Activity Description
The process boundary includes component manufacturing, transportation to the site for replacement, dismantling, recycling, and disposal phases, but excludes the service use phase.
