  • Abstract
    Renewable energies are recent source of energy being installed all over the Moroccan country. For this reason, integration methods of these energy sources should be studied to maintain the grid stability. Renewable energy integration studies takes into account demand and technical issues. This study is done using, PowerGAMA, an open source software that performs optimal power flow analysis taking into consideration renewable energy variation and power demand. The results give a future scenario that presents the Moroccan grid in 2018, this shows areas where the cost of electricity generation is high and also branches where there is over voltage.
