An Efficient Hybrid Energy Smart System Using Lithium Ion Batteries Integrated with Battery Management System

The use of rechargeable batteries to store and distribute extra energy from photovoltaics (PV) improves the efficiency of solar energy generation. This study constructs a solar power plant system that is linked to the grid network and includes battery energy storage. The efficiency of a hybrid solar power plant with integrated batteries and grid energy storage is demonstrated and evaluated in this study. This study is based on real-time testing to determine battery utilization when different electrical loads for office use are combined. The workload profile during peak hours of use, which correspond to the peak time of sunshine, is used to evaluate the system. The collected findings show that the degree of effectiveness of this hybrid power plant fulfills the power simulation. During the peak irradiation time, the maximum power is 2100 watts, whereas the needed power simulation, which is 1900 watts in this case, so the power efficiency percentage is 110.52%. It means that PV can satisfy the charged power while also supplying extra power to the battery for usage at low periods. During the 8-hour test, the calculation of cost savings revealed a savings in electricity expenditure of Rp. 14,373. The energy storage system's real operational needs were met by battery storage and PV.
