For this case study, the Glacier Hills Wind Park (90 1.8-MW turbines in south-central Wisconsin) was evaluated. Significant environmental and economic benefits are often advertised with the installation of new wind energy facilities, although independent and comprehensive LCA and sustainable energy science are typically not implemented. Hence, a quantitative demonstration with LCA methodology of the life cycle emissions and environmental impact, from construction through operations, can greatly assist in highlighting significant areas of energy consumption and emissions during manufacturing, transportation, and construction of a wind farm. Results portray the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption/generation over the life cycle of the wind park. Transportation of large components from overseas led to the consumption of considerable quantities of fossil fuel, responsible for up to 22&nbsp;% of the total greenhouse gas emissions due to transportation. The energy payback ratio (25.5), energy payback time (12.3&nbsp;months) and the total grams of equivalent CO<sub>2(eq)</sub> per kWh of energy (16.9) produced were calculated over the life time of this onshore wind farm.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Life cycle assessment of energy balance and emissions of a wind energy plant","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-12-10 01:33:17.368041","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+01:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2013,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-02-15","DateCreate":"2024-02-15","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s10706-013-9637-3"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":383047,"PubliDate":2013,"Pagination":"1663-1670","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"31","Issue":"6","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":268709,"SerRR":"Geotechnical and Geological Engineering.
