Quantifying trade-offs for the spatial allocation of onshore wind generation capacity

Section 3 will present the results, starting with the determination of the overall feasible region, trade-offs and the development of the costs of all four criteria over the entire expansion potential as well as for the 200 TWh/a expansion scenario. [...] 7 Generally, the greater the area of the feasible region enclosed, the higher the potential trade- off, and accordingly the greater the PTI between the two compared criteria. [...] Maps of the spatial allocation of wind turbines in the 200 TWh/a scenario and the intersection of wind turbines (no-regret sites) in the different mono-criterial solutions are presented at the end of the results section. [...] The intersection of all selected wind turbines in the four mono-criterial solutions reduces the number of wind turbines to 731, with a mere 7.3 TWh/a, compared to the original expansion target of 200 TWh/a for each of the single mono-criterial solutions which served as the input for the intersection. [...] The specific form of the feasible region and the PTI provide information on the potential trade-offs to be encountered with in the course of the expansion of wind power.
