Response entitled 'Response to Criticism by Lilia Aiche Hamane of the paper 'Potentialities of hydrogen production in Algeria' by R. Boudries and R. Dizene; published in International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 33 (17), pp. 4476-4487, Sep 2008

摘要

Section 2.2 of the paper has been introduced to illustrate the importance of wind energy in Algeria. It is self contained and is not the main subject. The main subject (independent of the part wind of section 2.2) is the production of hydrogen with the example of solar PV-electrolyzer system treated in details.rnConcerning this section that deals with wind, the data used for the analysis and discussion are from the ONM (National Meteorological Office). The data span over the 80s and 90s, i.e., over 10 years and includes about 70 stations (reference [67] and [68]). No other sources were used.rnConcerning Meghress, a careful reading of the sentence indicates that the reference is also [67]. ONM has a station for wind measurements in Meghress and the data are clearly reported. These data (reference [67]) and reference [68] are among the first studies carried out on wind in Algeria. A simple reading of these data is sufficient to see the importance of wind in Meghress. This is confirmed by mapping. And our conclusion is drawn from this.
