ETHOS.REFLOW North Sea Technical Wind Potential Workflow

REFLOW is a workflow manager tool designed to streamline and automate tasks related to renewable energy potential analyses. It is built with Luigi and provides an automated, robust framework for data acquisition, processing, land/sea eligibility analysis, technology placements, simulations and visualizations. It is build with transparency and reproducibility in mind. This example of the REFLOW workflow is designed to assess the technical wind potential in the North Sea. It incorporates various data processing steps, sea category exclusions, turbine placements, simulations and visualizations of the wind potential as well as output json files. This automated workflow aims to allow for full transparency and reproducibility, and allows users to modify key exclusions or simulation parameters to assess the impact on the technical wind potential.
