Optimal Exploitation of a Solar Power System for a Semi-Arid Zone (Case Study: Ferkène, Algeria)

Abstract

Contribute to the development of renewable energies in rich areas of new potential energy same Algeria, was the main cause of our work in this paper. The Contribution to a study of power supply by solar energy system called a common Ferkène north of Algerian desert in the semi-arid area is our objective in this paper.  The optimal exploitation of the system, goes through stages of study and essential design, the choice of the model of the photovoltaic panel, the study of behavior with all the parameters involved in simulation before fixing the trajectory tracking the maximum point the power to extract (MPPT), form the essential platform to shape the design of the solar system set up to supply the town Ferkène without considering the grid. The identification of the common Ferkène by the collection of geographical, meteorological, demographic and electrical provides a basis uniform and important data. To set provide a computing tools, modeling and control of MPPT more practical we have developed a software system PVSSS using Matlab. The results reflect a valid fictive model for any attempt to study and design a solar system to supply an arid or semi-arid zone by electrical energy from photovoltaic panels.
