Abstract

According to World Bank estimation 65.07% of Indian population reside in rural areas. In such areas, the health and wellbeing centers are mostly supplied by a national grid. So the power supply in such areas is not continuous and the quality is also low. This affects the diagnosis process which subsequently leads to delay in the entire health care. The aim of this study is to provide continuous and adequate power supply to such health care centers by combining solar PV and wind mill. This hybrid combination is intermittent in nature. In order to alleviate this nature and to elevate the power quality, a large number of battery units are added. The proposed model examines the feasibility of such scheme by using HOMER software; optimize the size by keeping the economics of the scheme at the center.
