Abstract

This article consists of studying the reliability of the Moroccan electricity grid as well as verifying the plan of production for 2030. To propose an adequate production plan for 2050, a production plan where renewable energies take a large place in the production park. Our objective is the planning and optimization of the Moroccan energy system with a strong integration of renewable energy sources or even 100% integration by guaranteeing the reliability of the electrical system. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of the Moroccan electricity grid in the presence of renewable electricity production based on the energy plan simulator supplemented by Monte Carlo simulations based on probabilistic approaches. The first part of this work consists of projecting demand for 2030-2050 and studying the impact of energy efficiency on forecasts. In the second part, we integrated the existing means of production and the projected demand on energy plan. In the third part we studied the reliability of the Moroccan electricity grid in the presence of the production of wind, solar photovoltaic (PV) and concentrated solar (CSP) electricity according to different stages of study (from 2017 to 2050).

Abstract

The technical-economic viability of hybrid renewable energy systems that include personal electric vehicles (EVs) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) area is assessed in this study. We examined several microgrid configurations using HOMER Grid software, focusing on the effects of electricity prices and subsidy policies. The results show how the hybrid combination of photovoltaic with the grid provided the most significant configuration across the MENA region according to the sensitivity studies that indicate considerable potential for wider application. Eliminating subsidies and modifying power rates are two important tactics for promoting the use of hybrid renewable energy systems. For policymakers and investors in the MENA area, these studies provide practical insights.
