Renewable Energy in Algeria and Energy Management Systems

Abstract

 Algeria's electricity generation has been recently approached 8,000 MW, as energy consumption continues to grow

by 5% every year. On the other hand, despite the favourable geographical situation of Algeria, but, the development of

renewable powers in the country occupy only a small part of the national electricity mix (0,8%) and their production is shared

between the hydraulic sector which generated this year (389GWh). Or 0,7 % of the total, and solar photovoltaic (11Gwh) and

thermodynamic (58GWh), which represent 0.1% of the balance sheet. This article also explains the most used renewable

energies for Algeria and shows the efficient applications related to solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy. At the end an

example that includes manoeuvring and managing energy sources on opportunities related to the development of renewable

energies.
