Description
This dataset represents the production and end-of-life treatment of an average offshore wind turbine unit in China, covering mainstream types with rated powers of <2~>=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 includes raw material preparation, production, as well as demolition, recycling, and disposal phases, but excludes the service use phase.
Process Description
The product represents the production and recycling disposal of a single offshore wind turbine of average scale, used for offshore wind power generation.
