The objective of the present work is to characterize a power plant with concentrator of Fresnel on various Algerian sites (Sahara). These sites were chosen for comparison by moving the power plant in the Algerian sites: Hassi-R’mel, Tamanrasset, Béni-Abbes, and El Oued. A technico-economic study was made to determine the various characteristics of the power plant. This study is carried out through a simulation in the hourly scale: it concerns the insolation, the system 'field', and the 'receiving' system. The results of the simulation are represented on annual average. Annual energy production and the cost per kWh are evaluated, the technico-economic results are also estimated for the same sites, and the results are compared for the purpose of site classification.
