The coastal wind electricity generation systems produced less GHGs than the inland wind electricity generation systems [25].
The HAWT-OFF-L wind electricity generation systems performed better than the HAWT-ON-L wind electricity generation systems.
The HAWT-ON-I wind electricity generation systems produced the minimum life cycle GHGs than other wind electricity generation systems.
The majority of the existing wind electricity generation systems are onshore-based wind electricity generation systems located in hilly areas or open spaces.
One may infer that the large wind electricity generation systems are more environmental-friendly than the intermediate and the small wind electricity generation systems.
There are numerous studies that performed the LCA on wind electricity generation systems.
This article presents the environmental impacts of electricity generation systems, based on life-cycle assessments (LCAs).
In this paper, a method for designing hybrid electricity generation systems is presented.
There were less GHG emissions from wind electricity generation systems in comparison to solar [17, 18, 19], hydro [20, 21], geothermal [21], coal [17, 18, 20, 22, 23, 24] and natural gas [17, 18, 20, 22, 23] electricity generation systems.
The mean life cycle GHG emissions from wind electricity generation systems were noted to decrease with an increase in the CF, the cycle time period considerations for the infrastructure, and the power rating of the wind electricity generation systems.
Considering the projected increase in the use of wind electricity generation systems across the world, one needs to evaluate the life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from the adoption of different categories of wind electricity generation systems.
