Abstract: Renewable energy is an energy that can be available on the earth all the time in the domain of human life such as wind, solar, geothermal, wave’s energies. The advantages of renewable energy are reducing the emissions that produced from burning coal and fuel resources and it is not limited like other resources. So this paper will focus in wind and solar energy and see if the power produced from solar and wind is applicable to refill the need to offshore oil and gas platforms. All data required for this paper will be collected for United Arab Emirates (UAE) offshore oil and gas platform. The selection of the wind turbine should be suitable for the region that have low wind speed and proper solar panels that give maximum power. The governing parameters include wind speed, air density, diameter and height of wind turbine, wind density and the design of the wind turbine blade. It mainly depends on the geography but finally the turbine choices are based on the energy demand of the area.
