Abstract

Over the past ten years, Morocco has been focusing on developing renewable energy, especially wind power. This new energy policy has enabled it to become, in 2017, the leading country in the Middle East and North Africa region and the second one in Africa in terms of installed wind power capacity. In 2019, Morocco moved for the first time from the status of electricity importer to that of electricity exporter, better yet green electricity. This paper provides a quantitative study of the demand, production and installed power capacity of electrical energy in Morocco over the past two decades. It mainly focuses on the evolution of installed wind power capacity and its share in the global energy mix during this period, as well as its future prospects by year 2030. This article presents a synthesis work based on an updated assessment of the carried-out wind projects and aims to assess the realization of Morocco’s national energy strategy which sets out to achieve 42% of renewable energy by 2020, and more specifically 14% of the overall energy mix being wind energy. It also aims to show the impact of wind energy integration in terms of energy autonomy, industrial integration and CO2 emissions reduction.

Abstract

This paper presents a performance evaluation of two solutions to reduce computational burden of the traditional Weighted Least Squares Algorithm for power system state estimation: Simplified methods SWLS1 / SWLS2 based on full constant matrices and Fast decoupled FDWLS based on decoupled constant matrices. First, the algorithms were tested on IEEE 14 and 118 bus transmission systems. Second, the solutions were tested on a rural distribution feeder to evaluate the response of the algorithms to high R/X ratio. Results show that for transmission systems, FDWLS is the fastest method but more sensitive to erroneous measurements. Simplifications considered in FDWLS, are not valid in distribution systems with high R/X ratio this results in slowing down the algorithm convergence speed considerably compared to SWLS2 which performs well. SWLS2 algorithm presents a promising solution to reduce computation time for application in future smart grid.

Abstract

The African renewable energy initiative (AREI), adopted in 2015 by nearly half of the African countries, planned to install 10 GW of renewable energy by the end of 2020 and 300 GW by 2030, of which 100 GW would be wind. These countries have each adopted their own national energy strategy defining their rate of renewable electricity capacity, particularly wind, in the overall energy mix by 2020 and/or 2030. This article aims to assess the implementation of these strategies by evaluating the up-to-date achievements in regards to wind energy and thus infer the AREI realization rate by the end of 2020. It focuses on the wind energy investments of the major African countries while comparing their effective realization rates with those targeted by their national strategies. This article also covers the impact of wind energy integration and the barriers to its development in Africa. Taking into account the recent study published in 2020 by the Global Wind Energy Council which assessed the wind energy potential in Africa at 59 TW, the obtained results show that the huge wind power potential in Africa is still far from being exploited and that only Morocco, Egypt and South Africa are on the right track.
