Wind Turbines’ End-of-Life: Quantification and Characterisation of Future Waste Materials on a National Level

Abstract: Abstract:Globally, wind power is growing fast and in Sweden alone more than 3000 turbines have been installed since the mid-1990s. Although the number of decommissioned turbines so far is few, the high installation rate suggests that a similarly high decommissioning rate can be expected at some point in the future. If the waste material from these turbines is not handled sustainably the whole concept of wind power as a clean energy alternative is challenged. This study presents a generally applicable method an… Show more

“…Half of the studies apply a systems perspective [15,16,18,20], often in combination with some kind of future studies [15][16][17][18]. Research is about obtaining new knowledge and new insights, from a detailed level to a system level, for a current situation or as decision support affecting the future.…”

“…Some non-experimental studies use models [16][17][18] while two studies [15,19] are based on calculations which cannot be considered complex mathematical models. Experimental papers are often shorter and focused on a limited set of parameters, while model studies cover large systems with a lot of data, making the papers longer and more comprehensive.…”
