Here we assess, using data from open power system data and from renewables.ninja, if December 2016 had particularly low wind power generation in Europe.

Clone the repository, and run scripts/wind_generation_anomaly.R You may have to define your working directory, if you do not use R-Studio.

install.packages(tidyverse)

install.packages(lubridate)

install.packages(sf)

You need an internet connection so the script can download the input data

The outputs (i.e. figures and csv files) are all collected in directory output/

Some examples: This map shows the wind generation anomaly for December 2016 for European countries as derived from renewables.ninja:
