“…It plays a big role in daily life. Various resources had been used to produce this energy either via solar panel [1], nuclear [2], hydroelectric [3], petroleum/fossil fuels [4], ocean wave [5], geothermal source [6], wind turbine [7], and natural gas [8]. The power generating technique is unalike between each country since they have different supply resources.…”

Electric potential energy or kinetic energy produces electrical energy. The integration of electrical current and potential yields the energy that is deliverable to the end user via electrical circuitries. There are various techniques used to produce electric energy. Typically, electricity is generated by using fossil fuels or natural gas. However, these resources are facing the extinction problem. Thus, another established method to generate electricity is by using water flow pressure in hydroelectric station. This work presents a model of small electrical generator developed based on the theory of pressure yielded by water stream. The development of conventional hydroelectric generator station destroyed the nature environment and caused the death of animal, especially in the water. Therefore, a turbine in a spherical shape that is integrated with microcontroller is suggested in this work with external passage that is attached to the turbine to reduce the catastrophic effect to the aquamarine and nature. The analysis is conducted on the different material while designing the basin, size of basin radius and the structure of model outlet inlet. The results show that the turbine that is designed by using polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with 10 cm radius produced higher voltage at 5.8 V compared to the other types of basin material and radius.

“…offrant ainsi de grandes opportunités pour diversifier les sources de production d'électricité aussi bien pour les Réseaux Insulaires du Grand Sud (RGS) que pour le reste du système électrique algérien [3]. Cependant, la capacité totale EnR installée dans les RGS à ce jour ne représente que 4% de la puissance totale des moyens de production [4].…”

The Algerian electric system consists of the northern interconnected grid, the “Pôle In Salah – Adrar – Timimoun” regional grid and many mini-grids supplying dispersed localities in the Great Algerian South. Although these mini-grids share, as of end-2018, only 4% of the whole country power generation capacity, the huge renewable energies, mainly solar PV, potential availability stimulates, in the framework of the efforts deployed towards a low-carbon energy transition, to integrate PV to existing fossil fuels-based power plants. In this context, this paper presents the first attempt achieved by SKTM, a subsidiary of Sonelgaz, by the integration of PV power plants to the power generation systems supplying Tamanrasset, Tindouf and Djanet localities. Positive outcomes in terms of fuel saving and CO2 emissions reduction which would be retrieved from this first experience are highlighted.

“…In recent decades, the contradiction between the growth of energy demand for social activities and the negative impacts of fossil fuels is becoming increasingly prominent [1]. An important trend and practical choice is to restructure the energy source [2]; generating power from renewable energy is attracting more attention [3].…”

“…MPC has been adapted in processes related to renewable energy utilisation in recent years, including wind power [51] and PV-battery microgrid system [52], and showed potential to achieve better global performance by considering variable input information. The main research contributions and scientific value of this study are: (1) Model predictive control method is developed, incorporating the operating characteristic of STPG, safety constrains of inputs and information of predictive weather data and power load. (2) The behaviour and operational results of a STPG system with two control approaches are investigated and compared for the first time over a specific time horizon.…”
