El Golea region, which previous studies have revealed to have a good wind potential, is chosen for a technical and economic study of a wind farm. This work aims to calculate the kWh cost of electricity produced by four types of wind turbines. The wind climate of the region is determined using WAsP software, based on wind speed and direction measurements at 10 m a.g.l. over a period of 10 years, from 2007 to 2016. The annual characteristics of the wind are calculated and their respective values are: 5.3 m/s for the average speed, 6 m/s and 2.04 for the Weibull parameters A and k and 169 W/m2 for the power density. The wind speed at 10 m is mapped over the entire study area and an optimal site is chosen for the installation of a wind farm. Four turbine models are chosen and the annual energy produced by each of them at the site is calculated as well as the cost per unit (CPU). The minimum cost of electricity generated is $0.0144 / kWh for an Annual Energy Production of 10.616 GWh and is given by the VESTAS V90 rated power of 2MW turbine. Finally, the annual energy produced by a wind farm consisting of five (05) VestasV90–2MW, is estimated to be about 51 GWh with wake losses of the order of it%.

This paper proposes a control strategy of a wind turbine system driving a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). This strategy is based on a twelve sectors direct torque control (DTC). Rotor flux and electromagnetic torque are controlled by hysteresis controllers and rotor voltage is determined using a switching table. In addition, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy is also proposed to extract the maximum power from the wind turbine generator whatever the wind speed is. Simulation results, in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment, show the performance and efficiency of the twelve sectors direct toque control (DTC).

The aim of this paper is to assessment of wind energy resource in three Algerian highlands sites. The study is divided into two parts: The first part presents the mathematical models used in this study. The data were collected over a period of 13 year. The Weibull parameters k and c are determined and used for estimate the annual average wind speed and the power density for each site. The annual average wind speed for the selected sites ranged from 3.1 m/s (Bou Saada) to 4.2 m/s (M’sila) and the power density range from 20 W/m2 (El Bayed) to 35 W/m2 (M’sila); The second part determine the capacity factor and the annual average power supplied by the wind turbine, according to the six parameters: the wind characteristics (Weibull parameters k and C) and the characteristics of the CALORIUS 37 wind turbine (rated electrical power, cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, furling wind speed and the diameter of the rotor).

The objective of this work is to present the advantages of the power regulation (active and reactive power) of a wind system in order to upgrade the quality of the produced energy to grid. In this vein, a variety of power control techniques which have been applied to the wind energy system based on the doubly fed induction generator are studied and developed. Those techniques consist of Backstepping control and Sliding Mode control. For this, a study of these controls will be detailed and validated in Matlab / Simulink environment with the simultaneous utilization of the “Pitch Control” and “Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)” techniques. Thus, the obtained results have demonstrated the peformances of the controls applied to the wind system Equally important, they also attest that the quality of the active and reactive powers and the voltages, of the wind system is significantly improved, indeed.

Copper-indium-disulfide or diselenium (CuInGaS2) is a good absorber for thin-film photovoltaic films. Thin films (CIS) were prepared by spray pyrolysis by chemical on glass substrates in the ambient atmosphere. The structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties of CuInGaS2 films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis, spectrophotometer and Hall effect measurement, respectively. the deposition of CuInSe2 and CuInS2thin films was studied with annealing and without annealing. After optimization of the operating parameters of deposit.

This article focuses on the prediction of thermal, environmental and economic performance of forced circulation solar water heating systems applied to residential buildings in different climates of Morocco to evaluate the favorable collector technology for each climatic zone. The proposed analysis concerns two thermal collectors marketed in Morocco (flat plate collectors (FPC) and evacuated tube collectors (ETC)). Annual simulations are performed using the TRNSYS and MATLAB software by considering a typical meteorological year (TMY) for all zones. The energy and environmental performance of the two systems was compared to monthly and yearly basis. It is found that high values of solar fraction and collector efficiency can be reached in almost the studied regions with the preference of using (ETC). All Moroccan climatic zones have a significant potential in the application of SWH systems and that ETC technology is more suitable from an energy, environmental and economic point of view.

Being an important sector in the development of Moroccan economy, the agriculture water consumption reaches 85 % of its resources. This huge percentage is leading to an important use of energy to pump water. The water pumping situation of Morocco is almost unknown or not clear given the lack of studies in this context. For this reason, the present work is aiming at the presentation of water pumping in Morocco in general and solar pumping in particular. The first analysis conducted has shown that solar pumping market in Morocco has seen a significant increase over the last years against the use of wind energy. In parallel with this development, the use of butane gas for pumping water in irrigation has increased after the cessation of the subsidy of diesel and gasoline. The survey conducted has shown an encouraging future of the use of solar pumping in Morocco and it has helped in determining the average of many parameters related to this field.

In this paper sizing, simulation and optimization approach has been used to study the power management of a stand-alone hybrid PV/batteries/Fuel Cell power system. The main objective is to optimize and develop control strategies of a hybrid stand-alone power system to meet the desired electric load of a residential community energy to achieve cost effective and ecosystem friendly solutions for green cities. The chosen city is located in Bejaia region, a coastal region in the east of Algeria. Proposed Photovoltaic system with batteries and Fuel cells is used to produce energy without interruption. Hydrogen is generated by electrolysis process powered by excess energy of the system. An application is made for two days at Bejaia region supplying a residential house and the obtained results show that the proposed system using solar PV, batteries and Fuel Cell energy systems integrated with an electrolyzer for hydrogen production offers the best performance. Simulation and results were done under Matlab/Simulink environment.

our work is devoted to the study of the optimization of a GaAs solar cell (homojunction) of n+pp+ type of 1cm2 surface. It consists, mainly, of an emitting layer, a base of p-type and a heavily doped p+ type BSF layer and a double antireflection layer (MgF2/ZnS). Among the factors that influence the energy efficiency of solar cells are the technological parameters (Doping concentration, thickness) and for this purpose we try to find in this work the influence of these technological parameters (doping, thickness) of the solar cell on the performance of this cell. The optimum configuration of the device shows an efficiency of 26.80% under the AM1.5G spectrum and one sun.

In this study, an artificial neural network model is developed in order to predict the moister removal rate by a desiccant liquid dehumidifier system. This last can be used for air conditioning; it consists mainly of a dehumidifier, a regenerator, and a liquid desiccant. Using a MATLAB® environment, the developed neural network model is based on the multilayer perceptron that includes an input layer, a hidden layer, and an output layer. The network input parameters are ambient air temperature, liquid desiccant temperature, air flow rate, liquid flow rate, air humidity ratio, and liquid concentration. The network output includes one variable which is the moister removal rate. The values predicted by the model are in a good agreement with the experimental data, with mean square error (MSE) of 0.0849 and correlation coefficient (R) of 0.985for all datasets. The used neural network provides a high accuracy optimization and reliability of the method to predict the performance of a liquid desiccant dehumidifier.
