Hodnocení životního cyklu větrných elektráren v ČR

Abstract

The thesis deals with the issue of life cycle assessment of the wind turbines in Czech Republic using LCA methodology. This method assesses the environmental impacts with regard to the whole life cycle of a product which includes period of getting row materials, production of components, period of operation and maintenance and period of dismantling and scrapping and recycling. Environmental impacts are assessed based on material and energy flows. This study points out the main environmental impacts in several categories, which are human health, ecosystem quality and recourses, and proposes the potential improvements for decreasing negative environmental impacts.
