Abstract:	The determination of energy of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (E ≥ 5×1019 eV) is one of the important issues concerning these particles. For this purpose, Monte Carlo simulations are used to create a large number of vertical and inclined extensive air showers in order to estimate the primary energy based on the lateral distribution function of recorded electrons and muons. This methodology could be applied to all cosmic ray experiments using a surface array of Cerenkov detectors, like, for example, the P. Auger Observatory.
