Towards decarbonizing large-scale industries: A decision support framework for optimizing grid-connected PV-battery energy systems planning - Case study of an OCP mining site, Morocco, North Africa.

Incorporating renewable energy into forthcoming grid-connected or decentralized energy systems assumes an escalating significance and can potentially enhance endeavors toward accomplishing Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7). Nevertheless, deploying sustainable renewable energy-intensive systems may present challenges related to their intermittency and cost instability. This paper proposes the development of a decision support model aimed at planning an optimal on-grid PV battery system.
