Deliverable 1.1. Open Access Technical Database To Advance Impact Assessment And Energy Modelling For Wind Energy

This deliverable presents a database to advance impact assessment and energy modelling for wind energy. The database contains climatic and environmental data on world’s wind farms (up to October 2021). For each European wind farm, it also includes estimations on expected material demands, land use and life cycle impacts. Additionally, the database includes life-cycle inventory examples for onshore and offshore turbines of various technical characteristics. To populate this database we developed WindTrace, an open-source parametrized life-cycle inventory model for onshore and offshore turbines. The contents of the database and the methods to develop WindTrace are presented, as well as mini-reviews on power curves and CT-curves.本交付成果旨在提供一款数据库，以推动风能领域的影响评估与能源建模工作。该数据库收录了截至2021年10月的全球风电场气候与环境数据。针对每一座欧洲风电场，其还包含了预期物料需求、土地利用及生命周期影响的估算值。此外，该数据库还收录了不同技术特性的陆上与海上风力发电机组的生命周期清单示例。为构建该数据库，我们开发了WindTrace——一款面向陆上与海上风力发电机组的开源参数化生命周期清单模型。本交付成果详细介绍了该数据库的内容、WindTrace的开发方法，同时附带了关于功率曲线（power curves）与CT曲线（CT-curves）的简要综述。
