Abstract:

This paper deals with load side management strategy for (photovoltaic–wind–diesel) hybrid system for medium rural health building located in the Sahara region. The paper presents an overview about geographic and climate data of the location and develops a typical load profile of electrical energy, depending on a real investigation of daily electricity consumption. The base of the proposed management strategy is the control of the air conditioning system and the non-critical lighting of the building as they consume more than 50% of the total power consumption. The result shows that the reduction in the peak consumption is about 20% using the proposed management strategy, which has significant economical, technical, and environmental benefits
