Modeling of the household electricity consumption in the regions of southern Algeria. Proposition of a new subsidy plan

Currently, to relieve households in the regions of the great south of Algeria, the government supports part of their annual electricity bill, up to 65%. The objective of this work is the study of an alternative technical feasibility from efficient electrification solutions of renewable origin allowing considering the participation in the financing of photovoltaic kits directly by the government. The consideration of environmental aspects is one of the major assets motivating this alternative. In this study, a typical family house in the region of Adrar, in the southwest of Algeria will be taken as a case study with two variants of solar PV systems studied: a stand-alone photovoltaic system operating only in summer to supply air conditioners, then a grid-connected PV system. The results obtained show that grid-connected PV systems are the most appropriate solution.
