The intermittency of the solar radiation is the big challenger for the management of electrical SMART GRID network. So the forecasting of the solar radiation remains the crucial objective to anticipate the injection of the electrical power produced by a photovoltaic generator. In this study, we...

According to its geographical location, Algeria holds one of the highest solar potential in the Mediterranean basin, as indicated in many studies. Unfortunately, an important lack of data of the solar global radiation is observed. With a huge area of 2 381 741 km2, it is necessary to have...

Algeria has large territory which is around 2,382 million km with an average solar power of 2650 kWh/m2/year on more than 80 % of the total surface of country. Back in 2015, the Algerian government has adopted a program for electricity production with an objective to insert 13GW of photovoltaic...

The aim of this work is to present the results of maximum power performance measurements of PV modules of the first grid-connected PV system installed at Centre de Développement des Energies Renouvelables (CDER), working since June 2004. The analysis has shown that all the PV modules are...
