A survey dataset mapping the spatial distribution of renewable energy potentials, likely for the municipality of Assen in the Netherlands. The data is provided by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties) and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0. It includes potential studies for wind, solar, geothermal energy, and aquifer thermal energy storage (WKO).
Use Cases
- Identify suitable locations for wind turbine installations based on mapped wind energy potential.
- Plan solar farm deployments by analyzing the spatial distribution of solar energy potential.
- Assess subsurface suitability for geothermal energy or aquifer thermal energy storage (WKO) projects.
- Conduct multi-criteria site selection for renewable energy infrastructure using combined spatial layers.
Strengths
- Data is provided in multiple standard geospatial formats (KML, WMS, ESRI SHAPE, CSV, JSON), facilitating use in various tools.
- Covers multiple renewable energy domains (wind, solar, geothermal, WKO) within a single spatial survey.
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse and adaptation.
Limitations
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
