Green Grid: Pioneering the Smart and Suistainable Microgrid Solution in Africa: Case Study of Morocco Abstract: Microgrids are a technology that provides an alternative to standard grid-based electricity, which is primarily reliant on fossil fuels.
The project has received funding from the Government of Flanders and will be jointly implemented by VITO and Masen, the group responsible for managing renewable energy in Morocco. The
To increase its energy security, Morocco launched an ambitious renewable energy strategy with the goal of increasing the country''s use of solar, wind, and hydropower energy sources to 52 percent by 2030.
Promoting Smart Microgrids. Morocco is leading the way in Smart Microgrids, pushing its goal for more renewable energy. It wants to get 52% of its power from the sun, wind, and water by 2030. This focus on sustainability and saving energy is key. Integration of Renewable Energy Sources
Abstract: The MG-FARM project focuses on the development of smart micro grids using renewable energy sources to support sustainable development in the energy, water, and agriculture sectors. This paper provides an overview of the project''s objectives, methodologies, and anticipated outcomes.
To identify existing legislative frameworks on developing microgrids in Morocco. Assess the best agricultural practices focusing on energy and water uses (savings and consumption) for mitigation and adaptation to climate change in the region (farms in Morocco).
To increase its energy security, Morocco launched an ambitious renewable energy strategy with the goal of increasing the country''s use of solar, wind, and hydropower energy sources to 52 percent by 2030.
The project has received funding from the Government of Flanders and will be jointly implemented by VITO and Masen, the group responsible for managing renewable energy in Morocco. The technical developments will be executed on the Masen R&D Platform for energy technologies
The deployed smart microgrid model will be promoted for deployment by other organizations at the national level, especially since Morocco is adopting a promising policy for renewable energy integration. In the medium term, the team hopes to promote this technology in sub-Saharan countries as well, given Morocco's geographical location.
The Smart Micro Grid Controller project develops intelligent equipment for microgrids, featuring integrated control and safe operation functions. This project aims to support energy developers and producers in using their investments more efficiently.
It is also in line with a Moroccan national initiative to promote renewable energy development. The main output of this project by AUI team has been the establishment and deployment a Smart Grids Testbed at Alakhawayn University in Ifrane (AUI), According to project PI Dr. Abid, it, is the sole Smart Grids testbed/lab of its kind in Morocco.
