Abstract

Daily power outage lasting several hours is common in Gaza Strip. For this reason, Nasser Hospital located in the south of Gaza Strip has been using diesel generators to ensure a reliable power supply for their services and had no choice but to accept the high operating expenses resulting from the fuel consumption. Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are proposed to be indeed a highly promising solution as a result of its drastic reduction in cost and climate characteristics. In order to reduce the fuel and logistics costs, it has been decided to invest in a PV hybrid diesel system in order to meet up with the energy demand. This paper investigates the techno-economic possibilities of the integration of photovoltaic solar with the existing diesel generators at Nasser Hospital. HOMER software has been implemented to model the new system so as to study the techno-economic and environmental performance. The simulation shows that the new system will not only cause operating cost reduction but also rapidly curb toxic emissions and environmental pollutions.

为加沙地带纳赛尔医院提供光伏柴油混合能源

加沙地带每天停电数小时的情况很常见。因此，位于加沙地带南部的纳赛尔医院一直在使用柴油发电机，以确保其服务有可靠的电力供应，因此别无选择，只能接受燃料消耗造成的高额业务费用。太阳能光伏(PV)系统被认为是一个非常有前途的解决方案，因为它的成本和气候特性大大降低。为了降低燃料和物流成本，该公司决定投资光伏混合柴油系统，以满足能源需求。本文研究了纳赛尔医院将光伏太阳能与现有柴油发电机相结合的技术经济可能性。采用HOMER软件对新系统进行建模，以研究其技术经济和环境性能。仿真结果表明，新系统不仅能降低运行成本，而且能迅速抑制有毒物质排放和环境污染。
