INTRODUCTION
There is no electrical power in the community even though there is a power grid line pass-
ing through the village as shown on figure 1.1.

The collaborative project aimed to install a hybrid solar and wind power system in the
Southern Hebron Hills. The main purpose of the installation was to produce enough power
for an electrical butter churn to make butter from goat and sheep milk, as well as to sup-
port the power supply for three refrigerators that are used to store the dairy products that
villagers sell in nearby towns. Furthermore power was needed for indispensable basic
activities such as lighting, radio, television, running household appliances and charging
mobile phones.
Students from Aalborg University were involved in the preliminary part of the project
through a semester project, and afterwards travelled to the West Bank to help with the
practical installation of the system together with a student from Engineering College of
Aarhus.
The project result consists of 8 solar panels, each with a rated peak power of 135 W and a
wind turbine with a power output of 1 kW. Pictures of the installations are shown on figure
1.2.
