Abstract: Currently the use of renewable energy sources in electrical networks has increased more than ever before, owing to its clean, low-cost, and long-term characteristics. In small-scale networks, such as hybrid networks, energy management provides a number of advantages, including a decrease in power losses and the simplicity of the control process. The installation of solar PV systems, on the other hand, presents a number of difficulties for households that choose to do so. Solar production is low in cloudy weather, which usually occurs after rain, yet there is a pressing need to make use of energy. The need to provide a load that consumes more current than the solar PV system can supply on a normal day. With this project, we are addressing these problems by providing a way for households that wish to maintain access to energy even when there is insufficient sunshine for their solar PV system to operate effectively. In this work, the energy consumption of a proposed 100KVA hybrid PV system is the primary focus. The proposed system is expected to meet the annual load demand of the Typical Office complex of 131830.7kWh using a PV system, which supplies electricity to the Typical Office complex between the hours of 8am and 4pm, Monday through Friday. A total of 4.44 kWh/m2/day of solar radiation is received by the Typical Office Complex, which maintains an average temperature of 28.010C on a daily basis. According to the system's estimations, the DC energy generated by the system is 2043710kWh/year on average; on the other hand, the accessible energy exported to the batteries is 105065kWh/year on average, according to the system. An investigation and documentation of the effect of weather conditions on the overall performance were carried out. The proposed hybrid PV plant is economically viable, it is expected to meet the complex's energy requirements efficiently and reliably in the future.
