Battery energy storage systems (BESS) can match loads with generation and can provide flexibility to the grid. This study is proposing the health sector as a new flexibility services provider for the grid through BESS. The health sector has large loads that run throughout the year, and by managing this load it can provide flexibility to the grid.
By creating a combined solar collector and PV system, the proposed system aims to generate renewable energy and reduce the healthcare facility’s reliance on grid power. This will lead to a reduction in energy costs, improved energy efficiency, enhanced sustainability, and increased energy security.
As can be seen, there are limited discussions addressing the use of the battery in hospitals for grid services. The nearest research to this application is , which was not specific to hospitals or the health sector, and the hospital was one of three facilities included in μG, which also included a school and governmental public office.
The study highlights the potential benefits of solar energy systems in terms of energy efficiency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability, with implications for healthcare facilities in the region and beyond.
