Abstract :
The use of alternative sources of energy addresses a series of steps to be undertaken in order to maximize its commercial exploit. This requires a set of guidelines to determine the best way in which these sources can be evaluated. This contribution focuses on the principles of wind resource assessment and the application of them for the wind energy evaluation in the surroundings of the San Luis Potosi city.
