Offshore grid integration
===


## Table of Contents

[TOC]

## Current status
- Added floating offshore for water depth deeper than 60m - 1000m
- Exclusion of shipping zones
- Split regions according to its size
- Wind turbine costs with DEA formula
- Offshore generators are added to onshore bus (without aggregation in simplify network)
- created simple offshore network topology
    - every region gets its own bus
    - buses are connected to neighboring lines with k neighbors algorithm

## Next steps
### Method:
- [ ] Implement offshore bus clustering
- [ ] Create offshore hubs
- [ ] find cost data for hub
- [ ] look for assumptions on capacity density from same source for AC, DC and floating

### Model runs:
- [ ] run optimisation with constrained solar and wind onshore (10% of potentials)
- [ ] run optimisation without onshore grid expansion
- [ ] compare having hubs and number of hubs to current setup
