Abstract
Literature offers many possibilities to classify wind power technologies, for example with respect to their size (Hennicke et al. 2010), structural shape (Hau 2008), or tower concepts (Neumann et al. 2002). Due to the space restrictions of a master’s thesis, it has to be determined which differentiations to cover here. As the focus of this work lies on natural resource restrictions, the categorisation has to be chosen accordingly. Hence, in Section 2.1, several studies are reviewed in order to find out which materials are required for the construction of wind power plants and which of them may become critical in the foreseeable future.
