Abstract

It is proposed to apply the concept of life cycle assessment of alternative energy sources, such as wind turbines, to assess their environmental impact. By means of simulation modeling, using SimaPro software, obtained was an integrated system of indicators of the impact of wind energy systems on the layers of subsystems of the compartments of complex landscape systems (CLS). A process tree has been built to identify potential impacts, as well as to characterize, weigh and rank them. Based on the assessment analysis of various environmental impacts, it was determined that significant consequences for the layers of the subsystems of the CLS compartments usually arise at the stage of transportation, installation and erection of wind turbines, as well as the removal of individual components or the entire turbine at the end of its operation. It is shown that the study all the processes alone, starting from the formation and ending with the utilization of landscape-technogenic systems will reveal the possible integrated effects of their impact on the environment.
