We take a critical look at what we now know round the conservational possessions of wind
power throughout its life cycle. We track down that real collection of life-cycle costs …

We critically review present knowledge of the life cycle environmental impacts of wind
power. We find that the current body of life cycle assessments (LCA) of wind power provides …

The use of wind power is rapidly expanding worldwide. It is important to examine the impact
of wind turbines on the environment to see if they provide a net benefit and to identify …

In this thesis an Excel-based tool for screening possible environmental impacts associated
with onshore, geared wind turbines of the size 0.6-5MW is developed, building on LCA …

Wind energy, commonly recognized to be a clean and environmentally friendly renewable
energy resource that can reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, has developed rapidly in …

The goal of this study was to conduct a comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) for large
onshore wind turbines in the US, including all phases of the turbine's life cycle separately …

Wind energy has gradually become one of the most efficient and reliable forms of
sustainable energy, and it is being globally utilized to accelerate the expansion of green …

Background Wind power is intermittent, so either energy storage or constantly, instantly
available back-up generation is required to provide constant power. Wind power is …

Global installed capacity of renewable energy technologies and especially wind energy is
growing rapidly. The ability of these technologies to enable a rapid transition to a low-carbon …

There is an ever-increasing interest in considering renewables as a way to offset our use of
carbon based fuels. In most cases it has been as a hedge against possible dwindling …
