In this sense, different sensors are employed to sample in real-time the working conditions of equipment, the electrical production and the weather conditions. Despite this, just the anemometer measurement can be related to the more important errors of interruption of power regulation and anemometer errors. Both errors are related to gusty winds and contribute to more than 33% of the cost of a wind farm. The present paper reports some mathematical relations between weather and maintenance but there are no extreme values of each variable that let us predict a near failure and its corresponding loss of working hours. To achieve this, statistical analysis identifies the relation between weather variables and errors and different models are obtained. What is more, due to the difficulty and economic implications involving the implementation of complex algorithms and techniques of artificial intelligence, it is still a challenge to optimize this process. Finally, the obtained results show a particular case study that can be extrapolated to other wind farms after different case studies to adjust the model to different weather regions, and serve as a useful tool for weather maintenance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21010040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,23]],"date-time":"2020-12-23T17:19:51Z","timestamp":1608743991000},"page":"40","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Influence of Climate Parameters on Maintenance of Wind Farms\u2014A Galician Case Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8384-908X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 A.","family":"Orosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy and Marine Propulsion, University of A Coru\u00f1a, ETSNyM, Paseo de Ronda 51, 15011 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9803-5409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00c1ngel M.","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy and Marine Propulsion, University of A Coru\u00f1a, ETSNyM, Paseo de Ronda 51, 15011 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3710-4818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Vergara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Catholic University of \u00c1vila, C\/Canteros, s\/n, 05005 Avila, Spain"}]},{"given":"Feliciano","family":"Fraguela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Energy and Marine Propulsion, University of A Coru\u00f1a, ETSNyM, Paseo de Ronda 51, 15011 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Costa, A.M., Orosa, J.A., and Garc\u00eda-Bustelo, E.
