Abstract

Two process to demarcate areas with analogous wind conditions have been developed in this analysis. The used techniques are based on clustering algorithms that will show us the wind directions relations for all stations placed in the studied zone. These relations will be used to build two matrixes, one for each method, allowing us working simultaneously with all relations. By permutation of elements on these matrixes it is possible to group related stations. These grouped distributions matrixes will be compared among themselves and with the wind directions correlation matrix to select the best algorithm of them.
