This industry is one of the largest anthropogenic contributors to the global problem of climate change. Numerical modeling is a tool that forms part of the present and future of this sector; because it is able to reproduce the effect of wind farms on the atmosphere and to obtain its short-term production prediction. The present thesis aims to achieve a detailed quantification and understanding of the main interactions between atmospheric planet boundary layer and terrain, focusing on the behavior of wind flows at different scales.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Wind EnergyForecastingMeteorological ModellingMaterias::Investigación::25 Ciencias de la tierra y del espacio::2509 Metereología::250909 Predicción numérica meteorológicaMaterias::Investigación::25 Ciencias de la tierra y del espacio::2509 Metereología::250911 Predicción operacional meteorológicadoctoral thesisopen access
