Description
This dataset represents the production and end-of-life treatment of an average onshore wind turbine unit in China, covering mainstream types with rated powers of <1.5~>=5 MW. The weighting is calculated based on the actual installed unit proportions across different rated power ranges, with weighting factors derived from the actual installed unit shares in each range. The system boundary excludes turbine transportation. Technical details can be found in the production datasets of individual rated power turbine units. The data is primarily derived from official statistics.
Activity Description
The process boundary involves raw material preparation, on-site construction and installation, as well as dismantling, recycling, and disposal phases, but excludes the operation and maintenance phase.
Process Description
This process represents the infrastructure and equipment installation for an average-sized individual onshore wind turbine, primarily consisting of the main transformer, cables, foundation, buildings, and other components.
