Introdution
Renewable energy technology has become the most demanded en-
ergy resource due to its sustainability and environmentally friendly

energy [6,7]. In addition, renewable technologies are developed,


which
are cost-effective and attractive supply for electricity generation
[8,9].
Among the many renewable energy resources is solar energy
application
technology came in the forefront, which has a vast deployment and
installation worldwide [10]. Therefore, it is essential to depend more
on

the systems of solar energy technology, which is abundant,


sustainable
and renewable, due to the significant energy needs of the world
[1,11].
Since progress has increased significantly in the past few decades,
solar
photovoltaic technology has become possible in meeting all of the
world’s energy needs [12–14].
Energy storage captures energy produced in a given period for
usage

at another time; hence, it reduces fluctuations between energy


produc-
tion and energy demand [15]. Energy shortages mostly occur due to

fluctuations in weather conditions, which greatly influence the


amount
of energy produced. Although they result in financial losses, excess
and
shortage cases are interpreted as losses [16]. Energy storage
systems are
frequently presented as a practical economic solution to reduce
losses
and prevent the limitation of the generated electricity if it is not
required. It can simultaneously increase the building’s resilience
while
reducing energy losses [16,17].
Batteries are key for photovoltaic systems that provide a steady and
dependable power source and are used as an energy supply during
night
or cloudy days [18–20]. Battery lifespan, attainable power,
maintenance
requirements and efficiency are essential battery characteristics that
influence the operation and performance of a solar system [15,21].
An optimum battery has affordable prices, great effectiveness, a
high den-
sity of energy, and the capacity to be discharged and charged indefi-
nitely under arbitrary charging and discharge cycles [21].
2.Method
This section highlights the approach based on the integrated system
model followed by a mathematical model. This study uses a
modelling
approach to predict the performance of solar PV integrated with
battery
storage. The engineering software so-called ‘system advisor model’
established by (NREL), is used to build the model. Additionally, the
mathematical model is applied; thus, the mathematical model is
based
on a set of mathematical equations.
2.1. Integrated model
In this study, we proposed a model containing a solar photovoltaic
array connected to a building to supply electricity. This system uses
solar

PV devices during diurnal hours and an integrated high-efficiency


bat-
tery system in the evening or during cloud cover fluctuations. The
en-
ergy produced from PV arrays flows to the inverter and is then
supplied

to the load. The inverter/controller charges the batteries’ bank


during
the daytime, although during the batteries’ use, the power outflow
to the
inverter subsequently supplies the load. Fig. 1 illustrates a
schematic of
the solar photovoltaic and battery storage integration system.
The model is designed to provide electricity to power buildings
under environmental conditions in Sabha city, located in the
southwest
region of Libya. According to the global position system (GPS), the
study
district is located southwest of its coordinates, with a longitude of
14,4◦
E, latitude of 27,03◦ N and altitude of 429 m. The weather data file
of the
typical metrological year (TMY) of the solar resource library uses a
programme called the system advisor model (SAM), a software
package
developed by the International Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
in
the USA. A comprehensive model was built into the SAM to
understand
the operating performance of the integrated system. The tools used
in
this study are characterised by their powerful capabilities,
accessibility,
and accurate software.
The load energy profile is considered in this study. The energy
management system will provide more energy in the case of high
energy
needs, depending on the demand. Therefore, the battery storage
system
will provide energy to load and work as a pick-up to compensate for
the
energy demand.
