A feasibility and cost benefit prospection of grid connected hybrid power system (wind-photovoltaic) - Case study: An Algerian coastal site

From an economic point of view, this study shows that the renewable energy will not be immediately economically viable, even with generous feed-in tariff schemes. In these cases, it is preferable that the grid operator himself makes the investments in the renewable production. To improve the system energy performance, the options should not be focused on the production of renewable electricity, but rather on energy efficiency measures.
