The work in this thesis represents how wind turbine pole is designed to give stability under extreme conditions. Different stability criteria are explained and analyzed for both numerically and analytically. For numerical analysis all work is performed on finite element package Ansys 14.0. The weather condition that effects the wind turbine pole is taken for Islamabad city. Small wind turbine pole that is used as hybrid solar system or as standalone is first modeled and then analyze in ansys whether it satisfied stability criterion including deflection, linear buckling and vibrational analysis. The stress analysis shows that the structure is withstand with the occurring forces. And finally modal analysis is done to find out the resonance of the model. After three analyses it was found that under extreme loading condition the design is safe.
