“…By applying Equations (11) -(14) the average water flow in (litter/hr) is obtained and it is possible to compare the results in order to have different first estimation methods to know if a place has potential for the application of wind powered water pumping systems. Figure 14 shows the curves as a comparison example between the results The efficient extraction of power from the wind is governed not only by the performance of the wind rotor but also the wind behaviour and the response of the entire system [7]- [9], the load included, to variations in the wind speed ( Figure 15). The selection criteria is to select the month with the lower wind speed such a way that with any higher wind speed the system will meet the requirements of the place.…”

Given the steady increase in use of alternative energy sources to supply part of the energy demand of the world, and considering that Mexico has enough wind resources to produce all the electricity required by the country, in this work, it is carried out the development of a system of wind resource assessment to determine the volume of water that a windmill pumping system can provide in a specific area. To this end, it has developed a computer program for wind resource assessment by measurements of wind speed, direction, temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity. Measuring equipments were mounted in a wind measurement tower of 10 m high, within the premises of the University of Quintana Roo which is located along the coast. Until this day, there are records over a period of five months of the variables of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and atmospheric pressure. These variables were used for statistical calculations using the Weibull distributions. To give a better use of the calculated data, they were applied to the evaluation of a Pumping System.
