Large-scale transferability of a PSO-optimized hybrid energy system: A comparative study of two African regions

This study looks at the resilience and cross-region fidelity of a HRES (Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems) across multiple climates in Africa. The study modelled the systems with a PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm in MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory). “Large-scale transferability” refers to the system’s capacity maintained against tight acceptance criteria. Normalized load curves were used to derive the climate impacts and case studies were in Laâyoune–Sakia El Hamra, Morocco and Ouagadougou,
