ResumeBenin, like some West African countries, has a significant solar potential throughout the territory with a certain consistency during the year, which varies between 4 and 6 kWh/ m 2 /day [1]. Aware of what this solar energy potential represents, the DEFISOL project initiated by the SBEE with the financial support of the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union (EU) provides for the construction of a 50 MWp photovoltaic connected to the network in two phases at Iloulofin in the municipality of POBE, the first phase of which is already operational. The work carried out within the framework of this thesis aimed to study the impact of the injection of production from the DEFISOL plant on the stability of the transmission network: impact on the voltage plan, short-circuit current contribution - circuit, quality of the wave obtained, behavior of the electrical system in transient state following a disturbance of large amplitude. These impacts were highlighted by numerical simulations using the DIgSILENT PowerFactory software. Indeed, the static and dynamic analyzes carried out show that the integration of this plant does not pose any particular problem with regard to the distribution of powers and short-circuit currents. The quality of the wave obtained is within the limits of the voltage distortions at the common connection point defined by standard IEC 61000-3-6. The introduction of the Onigbolo PV2 plant therefore does not pose any inherent problems with the stability of the electrical system, given the simulated disturbances.
