Abstract

The northern region of Madagascar has strong potential in terms of renewable energy sources. We can particularly mention the sun and the wind. The sunshine rate is estimated at over 3000h annually and the average wind speed in several places can go up to 10 m/s at 50 m height. This being said, several parameters such as existing technologies, locally sold equipment and especially the way of use of the local population as well as regional atypical climatic conditions (Varatraza, high heat) are very little considered decision criteria in the choice of power source configurations according to the desired power levels. So, this contribution offers an original approach of choice of power sources adapted to the North-East zone of Madagascar and more particularly, the Region of Diana. This work deals particularly with the state of the art of the most popular systems in the world and in the country, supported by a critical analysis upstream, before the presentation of a multi-criteria matrix of choice of configurations, highlighting the particularities of the studied area.
