Abstract

The production of alternative energy can provide economic development and employment opportunities, especially in Rural areas. The work seeks as main objective the evaluation of the potential eólico for generation of energy in Nossa Senhora da Glória-SE. The values of the meteorological variables were obtained in stations automatic meteorological  located in the municipal district. The statistical treatment for determination of the behavior of the winds in the researched municipal district was beacon in the calculation of averages, variances, distribution of frequencies and of the function of distribution of probability Rayleigh, case peculiar of the distribution Weibull, thoroughly diffused in studies of potential aeolian. These analyses allowed to extract all the information starting from the obtained gross data of the station and they were simulate in the software Statistica 7.0. The period of the day in that were registered to largest medium speeds it is the period of the afternoon understood between 12h00min and 18h00min for the municipal district of  Nossa Senhora da Glória-SE, being this period chosen for the simulations in software.
