IMPORTANT: Due to upload limitations, not all original input data could be uploaded here. Please download the missing data from the 4TU repository under the DOI 10.4121/19625385 and link https://data.4tu.nl/articles/dataset/Data_underlying_the_paper_UNDER_REVIEW_Introducing_site_selection_flexibility_to_techno-economic_onshore_wind_potential_assessments_new_method_with_application_to_Indonesia_/19625385

The missing data are:

• ERA5_profiles.mat
• Onshore_Sites_v2.0.csv

++ Inventory of code and recommended work flow ++

The codes should be executed in the following order to obtain the technical and economic potential:

1. ERA5_nc_to_mat_conversion (ERA5 data from https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/reanalysis-era5-single-levels?tab=overview)
2. Wind_Profile_Struct
3. Technical_Potential
4. Economic_Potential

From the folder auxiliary_scripts, the following functions must be called for the technical and economic potentials:

1. floor_wind_farm
2. cost_model_onshore
3. LCOE_calc

In the folder auxiliary_scripts, there are optional codes for data analysis and visualisation as shown in the paper:

1. Bias_Correction_Analysis
2. Check_for_Disproportional_Wind_Speeds
3. Analysis_Technical_Potential
4. Sensitivity_Analysis

In each code file, there are descriptions for used data, calculations and their underlying assumptions.
