Abstract :
In the context of renewable energy, this study treats the case of the conversion of photovoltaic and wind energy, which are parts of non pollutant energy, to electrical one in order to create a local archive. Annual data of delivered power are therefore given. In addition, the efficiency of each conversion system is calculated. Finally, the cost of solar and wind power plants are discussed and compared.
