This paper presents a model and simulation for the development of microgrids in remote areas of the Algerian Sahara, including micro power plants, photovoltaic panels, wind farms, diesel energy and storage facilities. The climate of the Algerian Sahara, located on both sides of a tropical region, is hot, sunny and arid.
Applications of autonomous microgrids for remote areas are mainly realised for the electrification of electrically nonintegrated areas, such as, islands, or the Algerian Sahara. A few years ago, some communities in the Sahara were supplied almost exclusively by diesel generators.
An energy management strategy (EMS) was proposed to control energy flow through the Microgrid system, and an analysis was performed on real data of solar radiation, wind speed, and temperature collected from the Biskra region in southern Algeria.
In addition to reducing fuel costs, the main objective of stand-alone microgrid applications is to study and develop a field experience with the planning and operation of stand-alone distribution networks [ 10, 11, 12 ]. This work is the first conception of a microgrid in Algerian Sahara area. It includes diesel generators, wind and solar energy.

To achieve the optimal configuration of a stand-alone Hybrid Microgrid, this study aims to analyze the economic facets involved in designing a compact hybrid microgrid system that operates
With the growing demand for energy independence and the need to mitigate grid vulnerabilities, there is a rising deployment of microgrid controllers in Algeria. Moreover, government incentives, favorable
The selected site for the proposed hybrid Microgrid system in this study in the city of Biskra, located in the Algerian Sahara, is distinguished by its abundant renewable energy resources and excellent
This research describes an in-depth study of the three phases, design, optimization, and performance analysis of a stand-alone hybrid microgrid for a residential area in a remote area in the
This work proposes an optimized configuration of two hybrid systems designed for a microgrid network with the aim to improve the power supply in isolated areas and provide a low cost,
Autonomous Microgrids applications for remote locations are mainly achieved for electrification of electrically nonintegrated areas: like islands, and isolated areas as Algerian Sahara.
The results with the graphs of the real-time simulation microgrid models in south Algeria and their interpretations will be later presented in a second part of this work.
