+Exploring spatial possibilities for large scale wind and solar
+==============================================================
+
+One of the applications provided by the PICO model developed by Geodan, is to gain insight in the spatial possibilities
+for large scale wind and solar energy production. The PICO model can be queried for this potential, with several
+constraints as input that can be given by user. The results in ESDL can be visualized in the ESDL MapEditor.
+
+.. note::
+    This page describes the steps for exploring the spatial possibilities for large scale wind. You can follow exactly the
+    same steps if you select the 'Get PICO solar field potential' service in step 2.
+
+This workflow can be divided in the following steps:
+
+1. Click 'External ESDL Services' in the Services menu
+
+  .. image:: images/select_external_service.png
+    :alt: Select external ESDL services
+
+2. Select 'Get PICO wind potential'
+
+  .. image:: images/select_pico_wind_potential.png
+    :alt: Select get PICO wind potential
+
+3. The following information is displayed
+
+  .. image:: images/pico_wind_potential_input.png
+    :alt: input required for the PICO wind potential service
+
+4. Fill in the required input parameters
+
+  - We select the province of Drenthe
+  - We want to know what the potential is, if we require a minimal distance of 500 meters between the wind turbines and the built environment
+  - We don't want to include areas that have been marked as 'nature' and do want to include any agricultural area
+
+  .. image:: images/pico_wind_potential_input_province_Drenthe.png
+    :alt: Input settings for retrieving information about the wind potential in the province of DDrenthe
+
+5. The result will look like the following picture. Each hexagon is a possible location for a wind turbine.
