ACV OF AN ONSHORE WIND TURBINE SYSTEM WITH A CAPACITY OF 1,5MW

The present document, is related to an initiation of research on the theme is: Analysis and simulation of an onshore wind energy system with a capacity of 1.5MW by the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. This research theme, focused on two objectives: The adoption of the LCA methodology which is the efficient and systematic way to evaluate all the environmental impacts of a system, process or service and then its application to a wind energy system in order to establish the environmental profile of the system's life cycle, and to identify the largest contributors to the impact and the key parameters that influence the environmental balance of this system. We therefore performed the system analysis based on mass balance and energy balance data obtained from the literature. Then, using the SIMAPRO software, we performed a simulation.
