Electricity from a European offshore wind power plant using SG 15-236 wind turbines

The baseline system under study is an offshore SG 15-236 European wind power plant, using towers with a hub height of 136 m. Since Siemens Gamesa started the LCA study, it was found interesting to extrapolate the results, as far as possible, to a test case of a European wind power plant and not only to a specific site. The reason pursued, is to make the information extracted from this report useful to a wider audience. To achieve this goal, it has become necessary to create a generic wind power plant model, representing a Siemens Gamesa European average client.
