Abstract
AbstractRenewable energy sources such as wind and solar energy are an alternative to fossil fuels used to generate electricity because they are inexhaustible sources, clean, and contribute to sustainable development. In this study, the performance of a stand-alone photovoltaic system is studied through technical and economic analysis. The photovoltaic system is designed to produce about 3.52 kW of electricity to generate the power needed by an independent house in three remote areas in southwestern Algeria. The techno-economic analysis of autonomous PV systems in the three regions was estimated using the HOMER software. The techno-economic valuation and production of solar energy are analysed, in this study, by utilizing daily solar radiation and average temperature data in the Adrar region. The techno-economic valuation and production of solar energy are analysed, in this study, by utilizing daily solar radiation and average temperature data in the Adrar region. The results show that regions of the south of Algeria are excellent regions for investment in the system photovoltaics in the electricity production, where the average cost of energy (COE) is 0.797 €/KWh and the average net cost is 18001.21 € for the three zones.KeywordsPhotovoltaicPowerStand-alonePerformanceHomer
