	Case for inspiration As inspiration for your work we have developed a reference case that proposes some basic data about a potential offshore wind farm. The case is Kriegers Flak offshore project that has not been installed yet.The case is only meant as inspiration and you can work with any offshore project that you like - existing or fictional.
