Design of a "Mini Smart Grid" for the electrification of Koumnéré locality: Power supply via a hybrid PV/Diesel power plant with battery storage
Dioari Ulrich Combari, Arnaud Ouermi, Wend Yam Mickaïla Tertus Dermé, Mamoudou Saria, Issa Zerbo
This work concerns the design of a small hybrid photovoltaic/diesel generator power plant with battery energy storage. This system will supply electricity to the Koumnéré area, located in the South-Central region of Burkina Faso. Photovoltaic energy is obtained from a free primary energy source: solar energy. However, it is an intermittent ene(...)

This study concerns the implementation of a Mini Smart Grid (MSG) to optimize the use of energy produced by a hybrid PV/Diesel power plant with storage. Since this network has more than two energy sources, an Energy Management System (EMS) is essential to optimize energy distribution between these different sources. An energy management algori(...)

Predicting power and solar energy using neural networks and PCA with meteorological parameters from Diass and Taïba Ndiaye
Sambalaye Diop, Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Issa Zerbo, Vincent Sambou
The excessive reliance on conventional fossil fuel-based resources poses a significant threat to our environment. To mitigate this impact, it has become increasingly crucial to increase the integration of intermittent and non-polluting energy sources into our electrical grids. However, while this higher penetration rate brings benefits such as(...)

Optimization of a hybrid photovoltaic/grid power source system supplemented by a storage unit: case study
Sidiki Zongo, Madi Ouedraogo, Ali Diané, Fabrice Bado, Zacharie Sié Kam, Moussa Sougoti, Alfa Omar Dissa, Antoine Béré
Hybrid power systems have significantly increased in the last decade to supply energy in both industrial and commercial sectors. Because of the abundance of solar radiation, Burkina Faso has the potential to develop solar and or hybrid energy systems to meet its energy demand. In the present case study, solar radiation data have been analysed(...)

Using Artificial Intelligence Models to Predict the Wind Power to be fed into the Grid
Sambalaye Diop , Papa Silly Traore, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Issa Zerbo
The Taïba Ndiaye wind farm, connected to the SENELEC grid, plays a key role in offsetting shortfalls in electricity consumption, with an installed capacity of 158.7 MW. Moreover, as an intermittent power station, its production is highly dependent on the environmental conditions in the region. Bad weather can disrupt the electricity network, r(...)

System Faults Diagnosis in a Photovoltaic Generator Using Artificial Neural Network Approach
O. W. Compaore, G. Hoblos and Z. Koalaga, "
Thanks to acquisition systems, fault diagnosis methods in Photovoltaic Generators (PVG) find themselves confronted with large quantities of voluminous data that are sometimes unused. The international scientific community, through the application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods, considered it as a promising solution. They allow large d(...)

Assessing the Efficiency of the Zagtouli Solar Plant: A Large-Scale Grid Connected PV System in Burkina Faso
Abdoulaye Kabore, Samuel Ouoba, Kayaba Haro, Tongonmanegde Leonard Ouedraogo, Boubou Bagre, Bowendkuni Armand Korsaga, Antoine Bere
This paper presents an evaluation and analysis of the energy perfonnance of a 33.7 MWp solar photovoltaic plant. Monitoring data for 36 months (January 2019-December 2021) have been used to evaluate the perfonnance of the power plant according to the IEC 61724 standard. Nonnalized parameters that are (i) perfonnance ratio, (ii) reference yield(...)

Mapping the least-cost option for rural electrification in Burkina Faso
Moner-Girona M., Bódis K., Korgo B., Huld T., Kougias I., Pinedo-Pascua I., Monforti-Ferrario F. and Szabó S
Burkina Faso is a West African landlocked Sahelian country. It has a surface area of 274,222 km2 and, in 2015, had a population of 18.4 million with a 3.1 % annual population growth [1]. In 2012 the rural population made up 72 % of the total population. In rural areas, the majority of the population (about 90 %) still relies on traditional bio(...)
