Description

Usable power density (in W/m2) of wind speeds in the Baltic Sea based on numerical simulated data from coastDat. Usable power density implies the wind power available based on the wind speed distribution (source).

MSP Challenge

This layer is for information purposes only; it can help deciding which areas to give preference when planning for new wind parks.

Data Source

Baltic LINes project output provided directly by the project's partners (SwAM, RI.SE). For more info see the full report here)

Original Title

Wind Resource Density.

Description

Usable power density (in W/m2) of wind speeds in the Baltic Sea based on numerical simulated data from coastDat. Usable power density implies the wind power available based on the wind speed distribution.

The usable power input is calculated according to the standard methods used for wind atlases)

Creation Date

Not available. Data received on 2018-09-12.

Methodology

Reclassified values into qualitative classes from "Very Low" to "Very High". Reprojected the geodata layer to Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area (EPSG:3035).
