Smart Grid and Renewable Energy in Algeria

Abstract

The electricity demand increases by the increasing of population which causes several problems in the grid.Moreover, the use of the conventional sources cannot meet the needs of consumers; in this case the use of renewable energy will be very beneficial and economical to avoid these problems. The so-called smart grid is supposed to solve these problems through the ICTs to provide monitoring and controlling capacities. Consequently, many countries in all over the world competitively get in the countdown race to adopt this new technology. Through this master dissertation, I will do a simulation of simple scaled micro grid to show the behavior of its components besides show a vision of Algerian smart grid and the need of use it this new power system in Algeria to be our electric grid more reliable, flexible, efficient.
