Analysing the Cumulative Energy Demand of Product-service Systems for wind Turbines

In this paper, an approach to analyse and reduce the Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) of PSS is presented to improve economic and environmental sustainability. The approach is explained on a wind turbine including training as service. In the approach three subgoals are addressed: First, CED of PSS is investigated. Second, the impacts of changes in the CED of PSS will be analysed, potential levers will be identified and measures derived. Third, strategies based on the measures will be generated which enable a reduction of the CED of PSS.
