Selected aspects of the material and energy model assessment of onshore and offshore wind farms

摘要

The article presents a comparative analysis of the wind farms equipped with V80 2MW and V90 3MW wind turbines. On the basis of these types of wind turbines and the example of two selected onshore and offshore wind farms the model of material and energy inputs incurred for a given turbine in relation to the amount of electricity generated during its life cycle was developed. Using this method it was possible to compare the two types of wind farms. The farms taken into consideration in the article correspond to each other in terms of the number of turbine units and installed capacity.
