Meso-scale scenario simulations of a future wind farm deployment in the German North Sea

Time-resolved 3D-Dataset of scenario simulations conducted for continuous expansion years from 2030 to 2042 for the German agency BSH, simulated with the WRF model and the WFP from Fitch. All simulations are based on the weather year of 2006. The data includes the calculated yields of wind farms in German territory and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the relevant wind conditions, assuming an expansion of offshore wind energy in continuous expansion years. The calculations were carried out with the numerical weather model WRF using a parameterisation of wind farms according to Fitch. The data are available in 10-minute temporal and 2 km x 2 km spatial resolution for the North Sea for the meteorological year 2006. The annual figures in the files refer to the respective year of expansion. The variables of the data set are wind speed (WS) and wind direction (WD) at 9 height levels between 50 m and 350 m, the power (POWER) of the wind turbines from each grid cell and the air density. A more detailed description of the variables can be found in the files.
