Abstract
All interventions that enhance livelihoods of poor rural families in remote areas of the Maghreb will positively impact standard living, involve technological solutions, and likely enhance agricultural production, which in turn can further contribute to poverty reduction. Hybrid green energy systems (HGESs) have been more exploited to supply a mobile base transceiver station (BTS) by clean electricity, or assess the energy availability in smart grids (SGs) of such areas. In this paper, a HGES has been modeled to produce energy from PV/Wind HGES in grid-connected BTS or SG sites, using MATLAB to solve a theoretical model, and simulated with a suitable configuration for performance analysis and optimal sizing. A techno-economic simulation, carried out using the HOMER package, has evaluated such HGES feeding BTS or SG in a remote area-prototype (RAP) of the Maghreb, and optimized the size and assess hybrid PV-Wind system based on weather conditions for RAP. The results may impact rural livelihood and improve standard living of people in such countries.
