Abstract
In this work, potentials, state-of-the-art and development of hybrid wind-solar plants in the eastern-North Africa zone have been studied. Since the use of the renewable energy sources requires an accurate evaluation and planning, an optimization procedure has been adopted: the protocol exploits data -such as solar radiation and cumulative mean wind speed- which are available for each node of the grid representing the Tunisian territory. The aim of this paper is to identify several optimal locations which can host a hybrid system based on solar and wind technologies.
