Proposed vision of Algerian smart grid

The electricity demand increases by the increasing of population throughout the world, which causes several problems in the present grid system resulting from various causes such as the loss of electric charge, voltage unbalance, etc. which ultimately affects consumers. Moreover, the use of the conventional means to generate electricity cannot meet the needs of consumers in this growing demand for electricity; in this case, the use of renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy will be very beneficial and economical to avoid the problems mentioned above. To address the global challenges on energy use, reduce the air pollution, and increase the economy of country, smart grids are particularly important because they allow the use of several energy technologies with low Co2 emission, including electric vehicles, variable renewable sources of energy , and the response to the growing demands of electricity by an intelligent power distribution. Algeria have several conditions such as: largest areas, a lot of sources of renewable energy, wireless communication and ability to finance the smart technologies; which they are all necessary for integration of smart grid. This paper aims to propose a new vision for Algerian smart grid in order to increase the efficiency of our power grids.
