Wind power is considered one of the major renewable energy technologies to achieve low-carbon goals. With the other rapid development in China, wind farms have been constructed around the country, both onshore and offshore, to resolve energy resource and environmental challenges. The aim of this program is to develop wind power capacity to 200 million kilowatts in 2020 and to 1 billion kilowatts in 2050, to provide 17% of the electricity demand. In this study, the carbon emission of wind farms was analyzed using life cycle assessment, which is a powerful tool for energy system management and environmental emission mitigation. It has been widely used for environmental impact assessment of renewable energy systems. The life cycle of a wind turbine is assumed to be 21 years. The natural vegetation is incorporated into the system boundary, quantifying the impact of destruction and restoration of vegetation on carbon emissions before and after the construction stage. In the inventory analysis, the carbon emissions from production and transportation of accessories, as well as the fuel consumption of construction vehicles are considered, to provide a reasonable account of associated carbon emissions and to quantify the associated environmental impact. Then, carbon emissions from the three phases of the life cycle (construction, operation, and dismantling) were determined. The construction phase covers changes in vegetation, building, and transportation. The operation stage includes emissions from energy produced for the daily life activities of staff and for operating the main building and electrical equipment (e.g., wind farm lighting systems, ventilation and air conditioning systems, and primary and secondary communication equipment). Regarding the dismantling phase, waste material disposal may still produce carbon emissions. The calculation of carbon emissions is based on the amount of energy used and on various emission factors. Part of the carbon emissions derived from recycled materials was subtracted to avoid double accounting. The carbon emissions caused by laying fiber optic cables, diesel consumption of the mobile machinery shop, and consumption of electric energy were also considered. The results show that the carbon emissions of the whole life cycle of the concerned wind farm, from vegetation damage to scrap disposal, was 2.97×104 tC, with the carbon emission intensity being 2.98×10-4 tC kW-1 h-1. This is close to the value for thermal power generation. The contribution by change in vegetation was almost zero, while those of building, transportation, and dismantling were 35.54%, 0.58%, 6.15%, respectively. The emission from consumption of electricity during operation was far larger than that for the other categories, making up 57.74% of total emissions. In contrast to the results from previous studies, we found that the carbon emissions from energy consumption are far larger than those from resource consumption. The methodology used in this paper may help provide a more comprehensive and detailed carbon emission inventory of wind farms. It could thus be considered a benchmark for further comparison of typical wind farm performance. In particular, the inclusion of the ecosystem services provided by the natural vegetation is the first step in calculating the potential support to be derived from the area surrounding the wind farm, which was often ignored in previous studies. 参考文献 相似文献 引证文献
