Notes on the wind farm data

Data Sources

North Sea

1. Critchley and Buckingham dataset of existing wind farms and plans up to 2030 https://zenodo.org/records/10478448 (status July 2023)

1. Some data is available also by Fischereit et al. https://zenodo.org/records/17495821 who will be releasing a new dataset soon

Baltic Sea

1. Combination of EMODnet https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/geoviewer/ and https://map.4coffshore.com/offshorewind/ seems adequate
2. For Denmark, existing turbine locations are also available from https://www.sologvindinfo.dk/spatialmap (not sure how to extract)
3. For Estonia, shapefiles are available from https://xgis.maaamet.ee/xgis2/page/app/TTJAhoonestusload

It seems like the best approach might be the following:

1. Start with EMODnet, possibly use the exact wind turbine locations for Denmark
2. Cross check with https://map.4coffshore.com/offshorewind/ to adjust the power
3. Replace EMODnet with Estonian polygons.
