Abstract: The use of systems engineering techniques is presented in this work to design the architecture of an enterprise of wind turbines inspection. The motivation for this research is the possibility to acquire detailed data in order to make one improved technical and financial feasibility analysis. This way, it is considered that there will be lower risks and higher return of investment. The use of systems engineering included the problem definition, requirements specification, requirements validation, and definition of physical and logical architecture descriptions. All this information offered more data to perform more detailed calculus of investment needed to create this enterprise, and the price of the offered service.
