                         Alagoas State (Northeast of Brazil - NEB) were used to evaluate 
                         the influence of horizontal grid setup on the reliability of wind 
                         estimates provided by the numerical weather prediction model 
                         BRAMS. Statistical analysis were performed to evaluate the model 
                         skill in reproducing the temporal evolution, frequency 
                         distribution and the mean daily cycle of the wind observations in 
                         both locations. The study was performed for the two typical 
                         climate seasons: the rainy (May/2008) and the dry one 
                         (November/2008). The results demonstrated that the deviations of 
                         wind estimates gets lower if the horizontal grid resolution is 
                         increased from 8 km to 2 km. No results improvement occurred when 
                         using horizontal grid resolution higher than 2 km. The 
                         confiability on wind speed estimates were higher at Girau do 
                         Ponciano (GRP), located in the continental area where the sea 
                         breeze is less important to the atmospheric dynamic. The results 
                         demonstrate that wind data observations play an important role in 
                         defining the best configuration and parameterization model to 
                         better estimates the availability of wind energy on a specific 
                         region, particularly for NEB.",
