Abstract

This work pursues two main objectives. One of them is the evaluation of the relation between wind and wind power. The second objective is the analysis of the coupled variability between the regional surface wind field and wind power production in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula and the large scale circulation over the North Atlantic and Mediterranean areas. The results obtained in the first part of the work evidence a linear relationship between wind and wind power that supports the exploration of dependencies of both variables with the large scale circulation in the second part of the text.
