             abstract = "The industrial and social development of a country requires large 
                         amounts of energy, particularly electricity. To follow the 
                         development with an efficient power grid, the human society has 
                         sought alternative energy sources that are economically and 
                         ecologically viable. The wind energy is one of such alternatives. 
                         However, the deployment of wind farms requires a previous study of 
                         the winds statistical profile in the region of interest. With this 
                         in mind, this work performs an analysis of three different 
                         statistical distributions to see which best fits the wind profile 
                         in the Central Region of the South of Brazil. The Weibull, Log 
                         Normal and Rayleigh statistical distribution were studied and 
                         compared with the values of wind speed collected at 50 meters from 
                         the SONDA site operating in S{\~a}o Martinho da Serra, RS in the 
                         Southern Space Observatory - OES/CRS/CCR/INPEMCT. The analysis was 
                         performed between 2005 and 2009 showed that among the three 
                         distributions, the Weibull presents the best correlation and the 
                         smaller errors, MBE and RMSE.",
