Smart Microgrids for Agriculture: MG-FARM's Innovative Approach to Electrifying Farms in North Africa - Case Studies of Morocco and Algeria

The MG-FARM project focuses on the development of smart micro grids using renewable energy sources to support sustainable development in the energy, water, and agriculture sectors. This paper provides an overview of the project's objectives, methodologies, and anticipated outcomes. By optimizing energy and water usage, the project aims to enhance the efficiency and productivity of agricultural electrification. Integration of AI and IoT technologies enables real-time energy transfer optimization, improving overall system performance. Demonstrators in Morocco and Algeria will showcase innovative systems, validating the project's solutions. The outcomes of MG-FARM align with Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7), promoting affordable and clean energy for Africa, and contributing to the region's sustainable development goals.
