The project is to investigate the potentials and possibilities of electrical generation via wind turbine. Special attention is directed to the interpretation of wind generation characteristics and parameters found in Lebanon and linking the electrical energy to the Lebanese electrical grid.

Although much of the wind energy research is very well established and boomed globally (USA, Europe, India and China), in Lebanon it is never used. At a time that climate scientist are increasingly concerned about carbon dioxide emissions from coal and diesel plants, and that nuclear industry is dying, the significance of a major new source of electricity is clear.

There are many motives and feasibility criteria for wind power generation in Lebanon. They include the need for increasing the Lebanese electrical capacity, reducing air pollution, alternative energy sources, and prices and availability of oil. The work will include literature survey of the current wind energy development and application. Economic, technological, and practical implementation aspects are to be considered.

Using wind turbine as additional energy source can prove useful to EDL by providing a nonconventional means for meeting rural demand. By reducing the loads at the end of heavily used transmission lines, EDL can avoid constructing costly new transmission capacity. EDL can reduce loads by boosting conservation or by installing modular sources of generation, such as small wind turbines, close to the point of demand.
