“…Having received the monthly average irradiance data and geographic location, HOMER uses the following equations to calculate PV electricity production and air cleanliness factor [35][36][37]: In terms of performance, HOMER ranks various confgurations according to the total net present cost (NPC) parameter in ascending order [38,39]. Owing to their uncertainty, this software is also capable of sensitivity analysis for parameters such as irradiance striking PV cells and losses due to dust, wiring, and shades.…”

As an energy source, solar cells can be central to peak load control in different power companies. Hydrogen production can be cost-effective if the generated electricity is unusable. Shades reduce solar cell current and fundamentally alter panel function, making it necessary to restore panels to optimum power generation. Owing to the issues outlined in this paper, the energy-economic-environmental effect of a shade detection algorithm was examined for different shade scenarios, and domestic-scale solar hydrogen production was evaluated. As the effect of the partial shade detection algorithm on the amount of solar hydrogen production has not been investigated quantitatively so far, this issue was discussed in this study. The algorithm and laboratory equipment developed by the authors were used to detect the partial shadow. Thanks to the respected reviewer, the following sentence was added to the abstract. The analyses in HOMER V2.81 software used 20-year average data for a residential building in the city of Tehran obtained from the NASA website. The results recommended that the designed algorithm increases hydrogen production in different scenarios between 5.8% and 32.9%. The results also revealed that the designed algorithm significantly lessen the pollutants between 100 kg/year and 240 kg/year.

“…Next, an optimal design of the system is created to meet the energy needs of the industry. The performance of the system and operational costs are then estimated through simulation using Homer Pro software [16,17,18,19,20]. Based on the analysis and simulation results, it is concluded that the implementation of the On-Grid system is highly effective in improving energy efficiency and reducing operational costs in the manufacturing industry.…”

Energy efficiency is a critical factor in the success of the manufacturing industry in the era of globalization and increasing competition. One alternative to reduce dependence on conventional energy sources is to utilize Solar Power Plants. This research focuses on the analysis of the techno-economic utilization of on-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in improving energy efficiency in manufacturing industries using Homer Pro software. The study utilizes data on electricity consumption before and after the use of PV panels on a low voltage 33 kVA customer grid for one year. The results show that after the use of On-Grid Photovoltaic System, electricity costs decreased by 16.935.541 IDR or about 15%. The percentage of On-Grid Photovoltaic System usage reached 15.6%, while the grid usage reached 84.4%. Therefore, this study recommends the use of on-grid solar photovoltaic systems as an alternative energy-saving solution in manufacturing industries. However, in designing On-Grid Photovoltaic System, it is crucial to consider the power of the grid and the loads that will be backed up by On-Grid Photovoltaic System.

“…However, a transient energetic period should be assumed between the actual energetic state and the full renewable energy state, in which suitable solutions are required. In this respect, many studies on hybrid energy systems have been accomplished (Mallek et al 2022;Ur Rashid et al 2022;Rice et al 2023;Mouheb et al 2012;Saheb-Koussa et al 2011).…”

The main research paper focuses on the optimal hybrid system using HOMER software in the central plant of Hassi R’mel. Indeed, the system is composed of PV panels, a battery bank, and a diesel engine, all of which are used to supply an industrial load. Hence, the present work proposes a solution to optimize the power generated by the power sources, maximize the photovoltaic source use, and minimize the use of the battery bank and the diesel generator. Moreover, the solution aims to guarantee the safe operation of the system components and continuity in the load power supply. These objectives are performed by the minimization of a cost function, in which the power generation cost, the energetic balance, and the environmental parameters are taken into consideration. Among the five solutions, the most optimal system obtained is PV/Diesel/batteries /Grid. This system consists of 1200 KW PV, an 1100 KW diesel generator, 800 units of battery, and an 1100 KW converter. Therefore, to supply the station with 49% of electricity by PV and 51% by diesel while the reduction of emissions is 60%, and 708020 liters of diesel is saved. Applying the sensitivity analysis also showed that renewable resources have an impact on the sizing of PV. When solar radiation increases, the size of renewable energy decreases and the NPC decreases as well. It can, thus, be illustrated that the PV/diesel/battery system is not fully-optimal. This strategy is recommended for industrial system security since it can be used to ensure systems from an energetic and economic point of view.
