Evaluation de l'apport de l'usage des smart meters dans le projet pilote de Diar El Bahri à Blida

Abstract

The global demand for energy is on the upswing making many countries struggle because of the unbalance between energy demand and supply. With the demographic pressure, and the widespread use of electronic devices as well as the availability and greater affordability of electrical appliances, raising demand require more energy resources and higher consumption of fossil fuels that leads to higher greenhouse gas emissions particularly carbon dioxide CO2 witch contribute to global warming and a speed run out of the nonrenewable resources. Therefore, for a future sustainable energy, cities around the world are developing a new systems and innovative strategies to generate, distribute and consume energy as cleanly and efficiently as possible thanks to the use of the Information and Communication Technologies ICT and the digital rapid development, these strategies are part of the modernization of energy networks with the aim of improving the energy sector and energy efficiency. On the top, smart metering strategy, which is adopted in many countries, where they can measure the power consumption as well as monitor and control electrical devices providing economic, social and environmental benefits for multiple stakeholders. Through this research, we are going to evaluate the contribution of the installation of smart meters in the residential sector as one of the energy transition strategy the more required. Therefore, we will carry out an analysis of the pilot project of Diar El Bahri of Blida smart meters to assess its implementation by referring and studying in detail the most successful foreign projects. This comparison between the local Algerian project and the foreign examples allowed us to note the insufficiency in terms of strategy of implementation of the local project with the absence of project planning, at the end after this analysis we were able to elaborate a smart meter’s implementation grid to serve as a tool for future projects in Algeria.
