Tunisia urban microgrids

Optimum utilization of grid-connected renewable energy sources using

It focuses on the techno-economic analysis of grid-connected PV-wind power systems using multi-year module inputs in 26 cities in Tunisia. Based on the economic and environmental evaluation, this study is conducted to provide a national energy plan and reference data for the investment decision in Tunisia''s renewable energy.

From passive network to PV urban community microgrids:

Find the cost of upgrading from passive network into an urban community microgrid to get additional reliability, by comparing solutions of the base case (a household purchases its energy needs from the network) with urban community microgrids optimally sized.

Community-coupled microgrids for the implementation of a

We describe the different current offers of the Tunisian electricity market and propose a specific approach based on the use of the concept of community-coupled microgrids managed by the electricity service provider (ESP) which further enhances the relationship with the end customer and promote the use and integration of renewables.

Data-driven modeling of solar-powered urban microgrids

We present a systemic study of solar-powered microgrids in the urban context, obeying real hourly consumption patterns and spatial constraints of the city. We propose a microgrid model and study its citywide implementation, identifying the self-sufficiency and temporal properties of microgrids.

Prioritizing sustainable renewable energy systems in Tunisia: An

Hence, the prime objective of this article is to conduct a thoughtful assessment of four prominent renewable energy options for electricity generation and explore the most potential barriers hindering their development in Tunisia. To

Analysis of microgrid with wind-turbine and batteries optimized

This study proved that the implementation of this type of project allows for clean and economical solutions, and for the continuous production of electricity in Tunisia, even during periods of load shedding for repairs to the electrical system.

Achieving energy independence in urban microgrids: Strategies

The quest for energy independence within urban microgrids (MGs) has become increasingly crucial for ensuring domestic resource utilization and environmental sustainability. One of the pivotal challenges lies in the clustering of MGs, a complex task aimed at enhancing their robustness and economic performance during events.

4 FAQs about [Tunisia urban microgrids]

How to plan urban microgrids?

Planning urban microgrids must consider the possibility of outages affecting critical services at both city and municipal levels, hence decision-making processes in a city must entail assessing social vulnerabilities, household needs and the criticality of critical services (Fig. 2).

How can microgrids improve city resilience?

Microgrids, tailored energy systems for specific neighbourhoods and districts, play a pivotal role in sustaining energy supply during main grid outages. These solutions not only mitigate economic losses and well-being disruptions against escalating hazards but also enhance city resilience in alignment with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.

Why is urban governance a major limitation in microgrid planning?

Urban governance, rooted in the Capability Approach pioneered by the Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, emphasizes equity and resilience, especially during disasters 2, 26, 27. Furthermore, a major limitation in contemporary microgrid planning is the concentration of numerous critical services within individual microgrids 17.

Who is involved in urban microgrid districting?

Hence, in the pivotal initial phase of urban microgrid districting, we advocate for a collaborative approach involving local governments, city planners, critical service providers and communities 33.
