Multi-objective optimization of a photovoltaic/wind/diesel pumping system with water tank in the Adrar region
Main Article Content
Abstract
Irrigating the remote regions of southern Algeria, which generally use diesel generators, with clean, environmentally-friendly energy is a challenge. Taking into account the solar and wind potential of the Adrar region, a renewable system using both sources seems more cost-effective. The realization of hybrid renewable energy systems takes into account several technical, economic and environmental aspects. This study consists in finding an efficient and adequate energy supply for the irrigation of one hectare of date palm in the Adrar region. It proposes a mathematical modelling for the given problem in different possible models, for this, we used the basic concepts of multi-objective optimization (bi-objective), and the adaptation of the concept of genetic algorithms to find solutions. The theoretical foundations discussed in this research have enabled us to design and implement a software that optimizes the hybrid pumping system used for the irrigation of date palms by minimizing the total cost and reducing CO2 emissions produced by the diesel group.
