Design of Hybrid Renewable Energy System (PV/Wind/Battery) Under Real Climatic and Operational Conditions to Meet Full Load of the Residential Sector: A Case Study of a House in Samno Village– Southern Region of Libya

The increasing research interest in Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRESs) reflects a globaldesire for development and sustainability. Hybrid renewable energy systems aim to meet theenergy demand loads, including residential loads, which constitute the largest electricityconsumingsector in Libya, accounting for approximately 56% of the total electric energyconsumed in the country in 2022. Consequently, this paper presents a novel approach by designingand analyzing a hybrid renewable energy system to cover the electrical load based on the powercapacity of the devices and the actual operational time. The study relied on real-time measureddata at 10-minute intervals for climatic conditions (solar radiation intensity, wind speed, andambient air temperature) as well as the electrical loads consumed in a household located in Samno,Sabha, Libya. A dynamic simulation of the proposed system's performance was conducted usingthe SAM simulation software, and the results were processed using Microsoft Excel. The resultsshowed that the proposed hybrid renewable energy system is capable of meeting the requiredelectrical load, especially during peak times, and supplying power to the electrical grid. Theeconomic results show that the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is US$0.0107/kWh.
