Purpose Several life cycle assessments (LCAs) of wind energy published in recent years are
reviewed to identify methodological differences and underlying assumptions. Methods A full …

The exploitation of wind energy worldwide comprises one of the main factors for reaching
the targets towards a non-fossil fuel era set by many countries. Nowadays, onshore wind …

A development in wind energy technology towards higher nominal power of the wind
turbines is related to the shift of the turbines to better wind conditions. After the shift from …

For wind power generation offshore sites offer significantly better wind conditions compared
to onshore. At the same time, the demand for raw materials and therefore the related …

Despite the fact that the structure and technology of most modern wind turbines differs little
over a wide range of power ratings, results from existing life-cycle assessments of their …

Abstract Goal, Scope and Background This paper describes the modelling of two emerging
electricity systems based on renewable energy: photovoltaic (PV) and wind power. The …

At the present moment in time, renewable energy sources have achieved great significance
for modern day society. The main reason for this boom is the need to use alternative sources …

Electric generation by wind turbine is growing very strongly. However, the environmental
impact of wind energy is still a matter of controversy. This paper uses Life Cycle Assessment …

This study presents a generic methodology to produce simplified models able to provide a
comprehensive life cycle impact assessment of energy pathways. The methodology relies …
