Life Cycle Analysis [Life Cycle Emission]
Description
The Lyfe Cycle Analysis consists of five stages.
  1. Setting the goal or scope
  2. Formulate the assumptions
  3. Inventory analysis
  4. Impact assessment
  5. Interpretation & design improvement.
Wind energy do not pose the threat of atmospheric emission during its energy generation phase. However, energy in various forms is being consumed during the construction, commissioning and decommissioning phases of the project. In the Lyfe Cycle Emission analysis, we account emissions during all these phases of the turbine's life cycle.
