Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012, vol. 16, issue 6, 4298-4302

Abstract: In this review, general features of the renewable energy sources in the North African upper zone have been studied. The primal renewable sources of energy have been identified in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. Taking into account concordances and divergences of the different actors in the region, a polynomial optimization scheme has been performed in order to predict future potentials and perspectives.
