... To achieve this goal, Algeria has implemented various policies and incentives to promote the development of renewable energy projects, including solar energy. In 2020, the Algerian government launched a tender for the construction of 1.000 MW of solar energy capacity, attracting international companies to invest in the country's solar energy sector [5][6][7]. ...
This study delves into the application of hybrid extreme machine-based techniques for solar radiation prediction in Adrar, Algeria. The models under evaluation include the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (WELM), and Self-Adaptive Extreme Learning Machine (SA-ELM), with a comparative analysis based on various performance metrics. The results show that SA-ELM achieves the highest accuracy with an R ² of 0.97, outperforming ELM and WELM by 4.6% and 15.4% respectively in terms of R ² . SA-ELM also has the lowest MPE, RMSE and RRMSE values, indicating a higher accuracy in predicting global radiation. Furthermore, comparison with previously employed prediction techniques solidifies SA-ELM’s superiority, evident in its 0.275 RMSE.The study explores different input combinations for predicting global radiation in the study region, concluding that incorporating all relevant inputs yields optimal performance, although reduced input scenarios can still provide practical accuracy when data availability is limited. These results highlight the effectiveness of the SA-ELM model in accurately predicting global radiation, which is expected to have significant implications for renewable energy applications in the region. However, further testing and evaluation of the models in different regions and under different weather conditions is recommended to improve the generalizability and robustness of the results.
... Renewable energy, on the other hand, only made up 0.1% of the energy mix, of which solar power contributed 80.6% of all renewable energy produced, while hydropower accounted for 18.2% and wind power accounted for 1.2% [6]. However, Algeria has an important renewable energy potential and the continent's largest land area, which makes it a location to explore renewable energy sources [7]. Currently, the country is not fully taking advantage of this potential and is at a crossroads when it comes to developing a new energy system since there are a lot of competing ideas in the political landscape [8]. ...
In this paper, wind resource availability was determined by analyzing the meteorological wind energy potential at the hub height of wind turbines. The wind resource potential was identified in specific geographic locations. Technical factors, such as siting requirements and resource availability, were taken into account in the investigation. The economic potential was calculated for each area of Algeria, considering overall losses. Subsequently, the potential for reducing fossil fuel usage was determined through wind to hydrogen estimation. The main components utilized in this work were a Vestas-90 wind turbine (V90–2.0 MW) and an alkaline electrolyzer. The analysis employed a Geographical Information System (GIS) tool. The results demonstrate Algeria's significant potential for wind to hydrogen production, estimated at 1.093 Gt/year without constraints, and reduced to 1.066 Gt/year when considering constraints. The levelized cost of wind to hydrogen production in Algeria varies between 1.51 and 15.37 US $/kg, depending on the chosen wind turbine. The wind to hydrogen production potential identified has the capacity to replace the entire current fossil fuel consumption in the transportation sector, which amounts to 5.28 Mt H2/year. The utilization of wind to hydrogen in the transport sector results in a significant reduction of CO2 emissions, with a calculated avoidance of 45.69 Mt compared to the use of gasoline and diesel. Hydrogen produced from wind energy resources also could be used to support other sectors, including residential, agricultural, and industry in Algeria.
... Generally, hydropower is classified based on its generation capacity, where small hydro is a scheme below 10 MW, mini-hydro is a scheme below 2 MW, micro-hydro is a scheme below 500 kW, and pico-hydro is a scheme below 10 kW [35][36][37]. Hydropower plays an essential role in RE and in global energy production, contributing 15.9% to the global power in 2019 with a total capacity of 1150 GW [28,38]. Hydropower generation rose by 1.4% in 2019 from 1134 GW to 1150 GW [1,28]. ...
Energy demand has been overgrowing in developing countries. Moreover, the fluctuation of fuel prices is a primary concern faced by many countries that highly rely on conventional power generation to meet the load demand. Hence, the need to use alternative resources, such as renewable energy, is crucial in order to mitigate fossil fuel dependency, while ensuring reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. Algeria—being the largest county in Africa—has experienced a rapid growth in energy demand over the past decade due to the significant increase in residential, commercial, and industry sectors. Currently, the hydrocarbon-rich nation is highly dependent on fossil fuels for electricity generation, with renewable energy only having a small contribution to the country’s energy mix. However, the country has massive potential for renewable energy generation, such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower. Therefore, the government aims to diversify away from fossil fuels and promote renewable energy generation through policies and renewable energy-related programs. The country’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan focuses on large scale solar, wind generation as well as geothermal and biomass technologies. This paper provides an update on the current energy position and renewable energy status in Algeria. Moreover, this paper discusses renewable energy (RE) policies and programs that aim to increase the country’s renewable energy generation and its implementation status.

... Also they suggested the implementation of plans for renewable energy projects accurately and educate investors of the importance of investing in renewable energies and setting financial and legal incentives. Khaider et al (2018) analyzed plans of the Algerian government in renewable energy for 2040 and a review was carried out in terms of management and implementation of these strategies and their implementation out of the rent economy. A deterministic optimization model was proposed and applied for long-term power planning in Algeria by Haddad et al (2017). ...
Currently, the electricity system of Algeria is principally based on gas to produce electricity. Moreover, the energy consumption is increasing significantly due to the rapid growth of the population in the last decade. The country ambition is to decrease the dependency on fossil energy, diversify the energy mix and reduce the CO2 emissions. The Algerian program on renewable energy and energy efficiency established the ambitious goal for the power system of installing 22 GW from renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030. In addition, 2000 MW of nuclear energy is envisaged until 2030. These changes in the traditional energy paradigm pose important questions and challenges to be considered in energy planning, with the main goal of reaching a sustainable energy system and to increase the overall social welfare. This work attempts to analyze different studies about the energy planning problems of Algeria related to the renewable energies, and its importance for environment and economic development. The main conclusions are summarized and recommendations are proposed in order to reach the clean energy mix goals in the short and long term
The aim of this study is to show the importance of partnership in developing renewable energy technology in Algeria by focusing on Algeria's renewable resources and addressing the incentive mechanisms adopted by Algeria in the field of encouraging partnership with renewable energy and diagnosing the most important projects resulting from the partnership between the public and private sectors (domestic and foreign). The study concluded that there is a cooperation as many institutions and renewable energy production stations appeared in the Algerian market resulting from the partnership, but this cooperation is insufficient and is limited by many obstacles, the most important of which are monopoly and lack of experience in the field.
