Abstract
The Algerian government has launched a large number of programs to encourage
renewable energies to generate power and making them competitive with fossil energy
options such as coal and oil, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and slow global
warming, in this paper we are interested in solving the problem of power generation by using
and improving the hybrid energy system which consists of photovoltaic solar energy and
generators powered by liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas with an energy
storage system consisting of batteries. The system is intended to supply electrical power for a
rural area in Tindouf regions of Algeria small village of 130 households in the township of
Adrar. The study was based on theoretical mathematical modeling and simulation using the
hybrid optimization and simulation using the hybrid optimization model for renewable
energy. Economic and environmental studies have been conducted and the comparison is
based on the unit cost of producing electric energy to assess the feasibility of the system and
its contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Introduction
Nowadays, electricity is most common power source in people’s life. As the living
standard improving, the dependence on electricity becomes stronger. In remote area far from
public power grid, the stand-alone power supply system become most needed power source.
The border troop sentry, telecommunication relay station, signal tower along the highway and
railway, geological survey and wild field work-station, the farmer and herdsmen house in
remote area all need low cost and reliable stand-alone power supply system.
Algeria is a country which enjoys a relatively enviable position in energy matters. the
necessary energy diversification which essentially aims at a rapid integration of renewable
energies (photovoltaic and thermal solar, wind, geothermal, biomass)
The French used solar energy in Algeria in 1954 for the purpose of manufacturing ceramics
[1]. Algeria has a high level of sunshine, over 3000 Hz per year, and a very high average
insolation of 5 kWh per square meter per day. This solar potential can satisfy domestic
demand as well as generate exports. Moreover, the production costs of solar and wind energy
are decreasing. The estimated isolation time throughout the national territory is 2000 hours
per year and may reach 3900 hours in the high plains and desert. The energy obtained per year
on a horizontal surface of 1 m2 is about 1700 kWh/m2/year for the north and 2,263
1
kWh/m2/yr for the south [2].

of liquefied gas is an important project for Algeria due to its cheap price [ref Prix le plus
récent.], availability in large quantities, increased demand for energy in the region, and
increased pollution. At present Liquefied Petroleum Gas and Liquefied Natural Gas are a low
carbon alternative to liquid

4.4 Inverters
Inverters work to transfer electrical power from Direct Current to alternating current,
and transformers from alternating current to DC power. It is suitable for remote hybrid
systems. The DC-to-AC of most inverters conversion efficiency is about 93 percent[ref].
The detailed parameters of the installation cost, operational cost, lifetime, etc. is provided in

5.4.Emissions
Emissions of CO2, CO, sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate
matter (PM) depend on the fuel used and the engine used. The table below summarizes the
emissions of fuels. From Table 7 .we note improved atmospheric emissions compared to
diesel and gasoline, and a small percentage of nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide emissions.
The annual pollutant emissions of two studied systems (scenarios). It is possible to
significantly reduce emissions of pollutants by the integration of a generator running
on LPG and LNG gas. According to the results, the emissions of pollutants can be reduced by
approximately 60% compared to the use of a diesel and gasoline generator in the hybrid
system, especially emissions of CO2 and CO responsible for the air pollutant and
environment.
LPG and NGL generators are 50% quieter than a diesel generator,
6.Conclusion
The introduction of LPG and LNG represents a solution for sustainable and renewable
energy generation systems where applicable. They represent options for countries to diversify
their energy sources and potentially take advantage of potential changes in global energy
prices. This document aims to study the relevance of a photovoltaic/diesel/battery hybrid
electricity production system by simulation and mathematical modeling to supply electricity
to an isolated rural site intended for agricultural applications in ADRAR . The technical-
economic and environmental feasibility study aimed at finding the optimal configuration of a
renewable hybrid system of the PV-LNG and the PV-GPL hybrid power system . Using
the computer model of the Homer® software, The results obtained show that the most
economical configuration of permeabilities between the two systems PV/LNG-generator

hybrid system is more advantageous when compared to the PV/LGP-generator hybrid system
as it has lower operating costs and pollution gases. Results indicate the total initial cost,
current net cost, cost of electricity produced and CO2 production from the system are
$369.600, US$1.318,869 , $0.389/kWh, and 12.450 respectively. The second choice is when
we use a generator alone, with an initial cost, a current net cost , a cost of electricity produced
and CO2 production of $389.800, $1.358,184 , $0.411/kWh and 21.521 respectively, the
optimized PV-LPG generator hybrid system is more cost effective in terms of Net Present
Cost (CNP) and Energy Cost (COE). Based on analysis and environmental comparison results
