Abstract
In 2021, the target of renewable energy production of Thailand is 25%. Therefore the installation of renewable power generation systems has been increasing. In order to promote the sustainable development of renewable power generation, the environmental impacts of the system have to be considered. In this paper, the environmental sustainability of solar and wind power generation were evaluated by using life cycle assessment (LCA) framework together with exergy concept as exergy-based indicator, exergetic efficiency and renewability, throughout the life cycle from procurement of materials as well as transportation to the power generation system. According to the results, renewable power generation systems consume the greatest amount of exergy in the construction phase, wind power generation was considered as a sustainable system. Wind power generation is also more easily renewable than solar power generation.
