Abstract: This paper focused on techno-economic feasibility analysis of Sioure village to develop wind-solar hybrid model by using HOMER (Hybrid Optimization Model for Electric Renewables) software. The case study area is Sioure, one village in Sahel.

Throughout the country, Senegal has great potential for RE that can contribute to power generation. Solar and wind energy offer the greatest potential, while the conditions for biomass and hydropower are less favorable. Solar resources are estimated at an annual PV output per unit of 1600–1800 kWh/kWp/year for 80 % of the country.
In this study, we conducted a dimensioning of solar–wind-battery hybrid systems optimized with the use of genetic algorithm [7], [8] minimizing the loss of power supply probability (LPSP) and the annualized cost system (ACS) [5] for the site of Potou located in the northern coast of Senegal [9].

This hybrid system can take advantage of the complementary nature of solar and wind energy: solar panels produce more electricity during sunny days when the wind might not be blowing, and wind turbines can generate electricity at night or during cloudy days when solar panels are less effective.
We use a hypothetical solar/wind hybrid system with equal capacity for solar PV and wind (1:1 capacity ratio) for demonstration; this ratio could be ''tuned'' to better match demand. For instance, if demand has a strong diurnal shape, with higher demand during daytime, a higher share of solar capacity than of wind could be considered.
The German hybrid solutions provider, DHYBRID, has been selected to supply seven solar PV diesel hybrid systems in remote Senegalese locations with hybrid control and energy storage systems. The total output capacity is 2MW, the storage capacity 2MWh.

Solar resources are estimated at an annual PV output per unit of 1600–1800 kWh/kWp/year for 80 % of the country. The potential of wind differs regionally, but in the 10 % windiest areas in Senegal reaches a wind power density of 6.61 m/s or 260 W/m 2.
The potential of wind differs regionally, but in the 10 % windiest areas in Senegal reaches a wind power density of 6.61 m/s or 260 W/m 2. The potentials have already been exploited with large-scale projects via Independent Power Producers (IPPs), with the first solar parks commissioned in 2016 and 2017 .
This hybrid system can take advantage of the complementary nature of solar and wind energy: solar panels produce more electricity during sunny days when the wind might not be blowing, and wind turbines can generate electricity at night or during cloudy days when solar panels are less effective.
Despite the individual merits of solar and wind energy systems, their intermittent nature and geographical limitations have spurred interest in hybrid solutions that maximize efficiency and reliability through integrated systems.
While the Senegalese energy sector has for decades been characterized by the dominance of the Ministry of Energy and the state-owned power utility Senelec, reforms of the sector have been carried out with multi-actor involvement and under the strong influence of bi- and multinational institutions.
These include the Ministry of Petrol and Energy, the Regulatory Commission of the Electricity Sector (CRSE-Commission de régulation du secteur électrique), the Senegalese Agency for Rural Electrification (ASER-Agence Sénégalaise d'Electrification rurale), the National Agency for Renewable Energy (ANER), and Senelec.
