Smart farm with zero energy Optimization of an integrated renewable energy system for energy self- sufficiency in a rural farm (a case study in El Djelfa,ALGERIA)

Abstract

This thesis explores the optimization of an integrated renewable energy system for energy selfsufficiency in a rural farm in El Djelfa, Algeria. The research encompasses the sizing of

solar water heaters and solar pumping systems using PVsyst software. Additionally, a study

is conducted

using HOMER Pro software to determine the most cost-effective hybrid system, considering CO2 emissions. the system proposed, consisted of renewable energy sources such as PV, wind turbines, and batteries, resulting in zero emissions. The findings highlight the effectiveness of the optimized system in achieving energy self-sufficiency while minimizing costs and environmental impact. The research contributes to the broader understanding and practical implementation of integrated renewable energy systems, promoting energy independence, sustainability, and reduced emissions in rural farm settings.
