Calculates for each network node the (i) installable capacity (based on land-
use), (ii) the available generation time series (based on weather data), and
(iii) the average distance from the node for onshore wind, AC-connected
offshore wind, DC-connected offshore wind and solar PV generators. In addition
for offshore wind it calculates the fraction of the grid connection which is
under water.

Description
-----------

This script functions at two main spatial resolutions: the resolution of the
network nodes and their `Voronoi cells
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voronoi_diagram>`_, and the resolution of the
cutout grid cells for the weather data. Typically the weather data grid is
finer than the network nodes, so we have to work out the distribution of
generators across the grid cells within each Voronoi cell. This is done by
taking account of a combination of the available land at each grid cell and the
capacity factor there.

First the script computes how much of the technology can be installed at each
cutout grid cell and each node using the `GLAES
<https://github.com/FZJ-IEK3-VSA/glaes>`_ library. This uses the CORINE land use data,
Natura2000 nature reserves and GEBCO bathymetry data.

.. image:: ../img/eligibility.png
    :scale: 50 %
    :align: center

To compute the layout of generators in each node's Voronoi cell, the
installable potential in each grid cell is multiplied with the capacity factor
at each grid cell. This is done since we assume more generators are installed
at cells with a higher capacity factor.

.. image:: ../img/offwinddc-gridcell.png

    :align: center

.. image:: ../img/offwindac-gridcell.png

    :scale: 50 %
    :align: center

.. image:: ../img/solar-gridcell.png
    :scale: 50 %
    :align: center

This layout is then used to compute the generation availability time series
from the weather data cutout from ``atlite``.

Two methods are available to compute the maximal installable potential for the
node (`p_nom_max`): ``simple`` and ``conservative``:

- ``simple`` adds up the installable potentials of the individual grid cells.
  If the model comes close to this limit, then the time series may slightly
  overestimate production since it is assumed the geographical distribution is
  proportional to capacity factor.

- ``conservative`` assertains the nodal limit by increasing capacities
  proportional to the layout until the limit of an individual grid cell is
  reached.
