Abstract
Algeria will probably face great challenges in the energy sector in the near future due to
the continuous increase in demand for electrical energy, old and insufficient local power
stations and its dependence mainly on fossil energies. However, Algeria is considered as
one of the most important countries in terms of solar energy potentials, especially in the
center and south of the country, enabling it to address future energy challenges. Moreover,
Algeria could become an important solar electrical energy exporter to African and even
European countries. In this paper, we are interested by the electrical transmission network
that could be suitable for the establishment of solar power plants in the Algerian desert.
We propose the use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology based
on a line-commutated converter (LCC) to connect one of the potential candidate region
with huge potential for solar energy, namely Hassi-Messaoud region, to El-Khroub region
as a central distribution node of electrical power at the Northeast of Algeria. A technical
analysis of the proposed system is conducted and a comparison against high voltage
alternating current (HVAC) transmission technology is performed to evaluate its
suitability and effectiveness. The obtained results indicate that implementing a power
transmission project via HVDC is technically feasible and suitable option.
