Creating LCA models for marine power plants

The environmental implications of marine power plants were assessed via life cycle assessment (LCA). The file presented the underlying data (i.e. standardised coefficients and parameters) used in creating those LCA models, covering manufacturing and metallic scrap handling for components incorporated into the plants. The data were collected and standardised from various sources including Ecoinvent Database (which could not be disclosed here due to restricted term of use), literature, product manual, expert judgement from research consortium, etc. Considering the scale and diversity in power plant designs, technologies and components, the standardised coefficients and parameters were applied consistently in relevant LCA models, which were manipulated further to allow for sensitivity analysis to support life cycle interpretation. Using the results from LCA models created based on the underlying data, a number of journal articles were prepared - each presented a specific research purpose standing alone as a case study or comparative study. Having said that, all articles were related among one another, covering the same subject area i.e. LCA of marine power plants.

本数据集通过生命周期评估（LCA）对海洋发电厂的环境影响进行了评估。该文件展示了创建这些LCA模型所使用的底层数据（即标准化系数和参数），涵盖了制造和金属废料处理等用于植物组件的内容。数据来源于多个渠道，包括Ecoinvent数据库（由于使用期限限制，此处无法公开）、文献、产品手册、研究联盟的专家判断等。鉴于电厂设计、技术和组件的规模和多样性，标准化系数和参数在相关的LCA模型中得到一致应用，并进一步调整以进行敏感性分析，以支持生命周期解释。基于底层数据创建的LCA模型的结果，准备了一系列期刊文章——每篇文章都独立地呈现了一个具体的研究目的，作为案例研究或比较研究。尽管如此，所有文章之间均相互关联，覆盖了同一研究领域，即海洋发电厂的生命周期评估。
