Abstract

A wind resource map of Spain has been built using the mesoscale model Skiron. It covers all the Iberian geography. To measure the accuracy level of this map, a protocol of validation has been developed. It provides global information as well as reports about dierent regions, levels of wind speed, direction sector etc. A validation of the map using 50 meteorological stations is presented.
