Abstract

The aim of this paper is the analysis of the methodologies and extrapolation laws subsequently used in the calculation of wind speed profiles. It also highlights the disadvantages of using low-sized measurements for creating the wind profile. It also demonstrates how to obtain different speed profiles at the same site and for the same month of a different year. This arrangement allows for the compilation of different roughness and friction coefficients for the same site. This paper also entails a full study case presentation for the site located in the Mexican state of Zacatecas and where the wind speed measurements were extrapolated with a view to estimate the wind power at a specific height.
