Our potentials for offshore area are likely going to be a bit optimistic as we do not have a method to exclude ports with and areas with high ship traffic.
Describe the solution you'd like
This could be done using this dataset: https://datacatalog.worldbank.org/search/dataset/0037580/global-shipping-traffic-density
It details AIS positions between Jan 2015 and Feb 2021 (~6 years)
PyPSA-Eur implements this exclusion with the following heuristic:
$$Yearlysightings * DaysInYear * TotalYears = 400 * 8760 * 6 = 21,024,000$$
It's a bit of an ugly number, but it should be fully compatible with the module's methods.
An important detail is that this dataset should only be used if specified, as the unzipped file is 9 GB in total.
Example
I've been playing around with adding this, and it seems possible with relatively minor changes. One difference is that PyPSA uses nearest resampling, which is fast but not as good (I think...) as the average resampling method we are using in the module.
