‘Life cycle assessment of a hinged raft wave energy converter in multiple utility-scale arrays’ - Supplementary Material: Life cycle model data

This dataset is published in relation to the manuscript ‘Life cycle assessment of a hinged raft wave energy converter in multiple utility-scale arrays’, under review for publication in The Journal of Power and Energy, Part A of the Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. This paper presents a life cycle assessment (LCA) of the Blue Horizon wave energy converter (WEC), deployed in four utility-scale arrays, including major array components (array cables, substation and export cable) and highly detailed vessel representation (types, modes and distances using modified background data processes scaled with specific fuel consumption). This dataset contains all of the foreground and background data necessary to replicate the findings of the study, as well as the derivation of the vessel conversion factors for modelling unit processes of vessel time, and the development of operation and maintenance data from literature.
