European maritime region definition

With the increasing share of the installed Renewable Sources (RES) capacity, evaluating the effect of renewable energy on the energy supply is a very important issue which is addressed in several climate services projects such as C3S-Energy, Clim2power or C3S-ECEM. Prospective analysis are generally made at regional level (e.g. TIMES model) and it is becoming a standard practice to aggregate gridded RES power generation data into aggregated values at NUTS1 or NUTS2 level. This approach raises an issue for the consideration of the offshore wind energy as well as other Marine Renewable Energies (MRE) since there is to the best of our knowledge no commonly accepted region definition corresponding to the NUTS boundaries for the maritime area.随着可再生能源（Renewable Sources, RES）装机容量占比持续攀升，评估可再生能源对能源供应的影响已成为一项至关重要的课题，该课题已在C3S-Energy、Clim2power及C3S-ECEM等多项气候服务项目中得到探索。此类前瞻性分析通常以区域尺度为基础开展（如TIMES模型），而将网格化可再生能源发电数据聚合为NUTS1或NUTS2层级汇总值的实践，正逐步成为行业通用标准。但该方法在纳入海上风电及其他海洋可再生能源（Marine Renewable Energies, MRE）时存在局限：据我们所知，目前尚无适配海域范围、且与陆域NUTS边界相对应的公认区域划分标准。
