Hospital Unit powered using Renewable Energy

The techno-economic performance assessments of a solar renewable energy system for a rural Egyptian healthcare facility are reported in this paper. In this study, a micro-grid solar hybrid photovoltaic system will power a medical facility in Fayoum City. The open-space PV system consists of 400 Wp solar panels, a 5 kW bidirectional inverter, a lithium iron phosphate battery, connecting cables, a mounting device, and additional accessories. This proposed system is designed using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Modern PV design software, PVSOL Tool, has been used in this study to estimate load requirements and to evaluate the micro-grid system's techno-economic and environmental aspects. The load analysis showed that the chosen healthcare facility needed a 29.5 kW off-grid- solar PV system, with an anticipated net present cost of $13,105 and a levelized cost of energy of $0.0138. The predicted 11.982 MWh of real electricity produced by the PV system over a 25-year period will be more than the Fayoum health complex's electricity use during that time. The national grid or other institutions may purchase the additional 1.743 MWh of electricity generated by the solar system each year.
