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. Through simulation modeling, using SimaPro software, obtained was an integrated system of
indicators of the impact wind energy systems on the layers subsystems of the compartments of complex landscape systems. 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
complex landscape systems 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 of 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.
