Wind power plants layouts according to arbitrary reference points, Thanet, West of Duddon Sands, Ormonde, Westermost Rough, Horns Rev 1 & 2, Anholt, and London Array

If this dataset helps your research, please cite it and the papers further below (according to which OWPP you study).

This dataset contains the layouts of the Thanet, West of Duddon Sands, Ormonde, Westermost Rough, Horns Rev 1 & 2, Anholt, and London Array offshore wind power plants (OWPPs), which can be utilized in a variety of studies. 

The X and Y coordinates, in kilometers, were written according to arbitrary reference points. The positions of wind turbine generators (WTGs) and substations (SS) for the OWPPs came from the sources below.

Thanet: WTGs from [1] (page 7), SS based on [3] (page 9).West of Duddon Sands: WTGs from [2] (page 5), SS based on [3] (page 9).Ormonde: WTGs and SS from [4] (page 2).Westermost Rough:  WTGs and SS from [5] (page 4).Horns Rev 1: WTGs and SS from [6] (page 6).Horns Rev 2: WTGs and SS from [7] (page 5).Anholt: WTGs and SS from [8] (page 3).London Array: WTGs from [9] (page 15), SS based on [10] (page 2).

From the OWPPs' layout figures [1-9], I used Graph Grabber 2.0.2* to extract the data points. Then, based on visual inspection of layouts in [1-9], I utilized 2D projections to align WTGs that should be aligned. References [1], [2], and [9] do not provide the SS positions. Thus, I carefully overlapped the layouts with other layouts from [3] and [10] to approximate the SS locations.

Regarding the arbitrary reference points for the coordinates, although the values in the X and Y axes differ from [1-9], note that the distances among the WTGs are the same from [1-9]. Furthermore, there are no axes in [1,5]. Instead, distances are given, which are enough to obtain the layout. Values in meters were converted to kilometers.

As seen in the attachments, the coordinates can be obtained via either "h5" or "csv" files, which can be easily read by Matlab, Julia, and Python, among others. The name of the datasets in the "h5" file are: "Thanet", "WDS", "Ormonde", "WMR", "HornsRev1", "HornsRev2", "Anholt", and "LondonArray".

Except for the London Array OWPP,  the first row in all data matrices represents the SS coordinates, whereas the subsequent rows represent the WTGs. London Array has 2 substations, thus the first and second rows represent their coordinates. In all matrices, the first and second columns are the X and Y coordinates, respectively.
