Abstract
Renewable energy plays a fundamental role in ensuring the sustainability of our planet. Among renewable
resources, solar energy is considered one of the most important because of its cleanliness, abundance, and
suitability for deployment in various regions.
In this context, the present study aims to simulate and analyze a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system
designed to supply electrical power to the administrative department of the Sonelgaz Distribution
Directorate in Mila city. The performance of this system was evaluated using PVsyst 7.1 software in order
to assess its effectiveness. Various data related to the geographical location, climatic conditions, and system
components, including photovoltaic panels, inverter, and batteries, were incorporated into the simulation
model.
Subsequently, simulations were carried out to evaluate the performance of the stand-alone photovoltaic
system and to analyze the amount of energy produced on daily, monthly, and annual bases. The simulation
results showed excellent agreement with both the manually calculated theoretical values and the actual data
obtained from the real installation. This close correspondence confirms the accuracy of the adopted model
and demonstrates the effectiveness of the studied photovoltaic system.
