On Mauritaniaâ??s northern coast, wind and solar resources are abundant and\nmust be used effectively. These resources have the potential to completely or\npartially replace the existing or projected diesel generators. The main objective\nof this case study is to study the possibility of using a hybrid system (HS)\nof the type (diesel, wind and storage). The most important part of this case\nstudy intended for this area will be to add the solar in a first phase and then\nthe incorporation of an interconnection with the nearby network in a second\nphase. This interconnection will be secured by mean of medium voltage lines\nof 33 kV, where the nearest point is located 35 km away. Indeed, the study of\nthe optimization model is carried out through Homer, which was developed\nby National Renewable Energy Laboratory [NREL]. Thus, it should be noted\nthat the HS is analyzed on the basis of costs ($/kW) and price ($/kWh) and\ngreenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, in order to achieve these techno-\neconomic optimization objectives, this paper introduces a sensitivity\nanalysis that has been proposed to determine the effect of costs on each HS\nconfiguration. In the end, HSs are needed for maximum use of renewable resources\nat the studied site for an uninterrupted power supply.
