Ahli Hospital Wind Energy Project (AWEP) is an innovative pilot project that involves the design and implementation of an integrated low-cost, sustainable and reliable clean energy system, with very low environmental costs, and to create public awareness as to the enormous opportunities offered by the clean energy technologies. One of the main objectives of AWEP project was to reduce the Energy consumption of al Ahli hospital by (30-40) % by using a Wind Turbine with an approximate power of 750 KW. During the site assessment phase of the wind potential in al Ahli site, experts from the Centre For Renewable Energy Sources (CRES) recommended a 330 KW Wind Turbine. This site restriction leads to a saving of only 20% of the electricity consumption of the Hospital. AWEP team with cooperation partners from University of Twente searched the potential of finding an alternative solution to fulfill the 30%-40% Energy consumption objective. The suggested alternative was using a Solar System integrated with the suggested Wind Turbine. This Solar System is a Thermal Solar System that will be used to heat the water used in the hospital, heating the building at winter and for steam generation.
