Abstract

This works aims to study the technological feasibility and economic viability of standalone Photovoltaic system for the electrification of farms in the south-east of Algeria. The PV system power plant is sized to supply potato farm in Akfadou-El Oued. The standalone PV system was designed and simulated using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewable (HOMER). Simulation results showed that a high capital cost is needed to install the PV system with a high cost of energy reaches 30 DA/kWh.
