Characterization of the life cycle greenhouse gas emissions from wind electricity generation systems

The characterized wind electricity generation systems were statistically evaluated to assess the reduction in life cycle GHG emissions. A total of five unique categorization codes (HAWT-ON-S. HAWT-ON-I. HAWT-ON-L. HAWT- OFF-L. VAWT-ON-S) were designated to the 29 wind electricity generation LCA studies (representing 74 wind system cases) using the proposed categorization …
