Abstract
In this paper we address the problem of selecting a ser of wind direct ions that could represent the wind regime at a location. This problem is cast in the form of a non-convex mathematical program. Important pr operties of the problem are discussed and a convergent solution algori thm is designed. The algorithm could yield local optimal solutions. A case study which involves the construction of a transition probability matrix for the wind at a location is presented.
