Description
This process represents component replacement and recycling management for an average-capacity offshore wind turbine across the national region, covering mainstream models with capacities ranging from <2 to >=5 MW. The weighting is calculated based on the actual installed capacity share of each power segment. Technical details regarding turbine component replacement and end-of-life treatment are referenced from the datasets of units in each power segment. The data mainly originates 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.
Process Description
This process represents component replacement and recycling disposal of a single offshore wind turbine of average scale during its technical service life.
