Design of a stand-alone energy hybrid system for a makeshift health care center: A case study

Worldwide, health care sectors are experiencing massive pressure due to the emergence of COVID-19. Many temporary health care centers have been set up to treat infected patients. Increasing energy consumption in these centers is responsible for both rising energy demand and emission. Implementation of renewable energy-based hybrid stone-alone systems can play a vital role in optimizing increasing energy demand. The aim of this analysis is to design a stand-alone system for a temporary health care center located in Saint Martin Island, Bangladesh. This is the first study which highlights the power management of a hospital load. Homer Pro software is used to design the preliminary model, and the proposed configuration comprises PV/Converter/WIND/Battery/Generator. It is observed that the Levelized cost of the proposed system is $0.4688. This system's Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is 35% lower than the solar home system (SHS). The payback period (PB), rate of investment (ROI), and internal rate of return (IROR) of the optimized system are seven years, 10, and 13%, respectively. The proposed configuration is environmentally sustainable as it generates 27% less CO(2) than a diesel-based fuel system.
