Since less than 2% of electricity is produced from renewable resources, there is no actual grid integration issue of RE in the Algerian grid. But, the share of renewable energy is expected to reach 27 % of the electricity production by 2030.
Actually RE represents a minor part of the Algerian energy mix, but near futur large share of renewble ressources requires the full understanding of the local issues, taking into account the grid and the Algerian climatic conditions.
In Algeria, one the main issues for the integration of distributed RE systems is that the grid is designed for unidirectional energy flow from high voltage lines to low voltage distribution system.
And in the case of vehicle-to-grid, allowing electric vehicles to discharge energy back to the grid, bidirectional charging can also stabilise the grid. Ultimately, this technology has the potential to improve the resilience and sustainability of our energy systems, making them more efficient and reliable.
One relatively new approach to addressing this challenge is bidirectional charging. You might have read terms like Vehicle to Home or Vehicle to Grid, which are two specific forms of bidirectional charging. With this solution, the battery of an electric car is used as a mobile energy storage unit.
They reviewed how bidirectional pulse conditions regulate power system stability and durability, summarizing how bidirectional pulses can effectively boost battery longevity while catering to the frequency regulation needs of power systems.
