Do life cycle assessments of utility-scale wind power systems reduce variability?
A systematic review and harmonization of life cycle assessment (LCA) literature of utility-scale wind power systems was performed to determine the causes of and, where possible, reduce variability in estimates of life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
What is wind power generation?
Wind power generation is power generation that converts wind energy into electric energy. The wind generating set absorbs wind energy with a specially designed blade and converts wind energy to mechanical energy, which further drives the generator rotating and realizes conversion of wind energy to electric energy.
What is the life cycle of a wind turbine?
The life cycle of a wind turbine comprises several stages, including design and planning, component manufacture, transport and logistics, installation and commissioning, operation and maintenance, and finally dismantling and recycling.
What is a typical framework of a wind power generation system?
Fig. 5 is the typical framework of a wind power generation system. For a wind power generation system, the wind turbine is a critical part. Modern wind turbines (Fig. 6) can be divided into horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT).
What are the components of wind power generation system?
In terms of configuration, wind power generation system normally consists of wind turbine, generator, and grid interface converters where the generator is one of the core components. There are the following wind power generation technologies such as synchronous generator, induction generator, and doubly fed induction generator.
How does wind power generation work?
The installation produces electricity by collecting and transforming wind power into rotational mechanical energy to drive a generating unit. Wind power generation technology is now relatively mature, with annual generation amounting to 640 TWh, accounting for less than 3% of the world’s total energy consumption.
