Abstract
In this project was made a survey of the wind conditions in the state of Ceará and a market research to establish approximate values for the creation of a software for consulting costs and profitability of a small wind power plant. This computer program will help the consumer get a sense of what they will spend and how long that financial return will take. The program is customizable and can be used to generate estimates not only in the state of Ceará, but throughout the country. The methodology used was a bibliographical research related to the behavior of the winds and a market research, and from this information, software in the Python language was created to allow easier access to this type of information. In addition, the electricity distribution companies were also consulted and provided important information regarding concessions and incentives for energy production autonomously. To bring all this knowledge closer to the population, we have created a website with useful information, where we offer the link to download the program in a totally free way, allowing anyone who has an interest to carry out this query and get an idea more obvious how the entire system works, from budgeting to energy production. From this it will be possible to make the potential investors better informed of the ecological and financial advantages and disadvantages to install small wind energy plants.
