A Case Study for Standalone Solar Power Modules with and Without IoT Devices in Rural Hospital Emergency Rooms Located inKaniyambadi

Remote hospitals' critical infrastructure requires an uninterrupted power supply 24 hours a day, so power outages and natural disasters can have serious consequences because electricity from the utility grid cannot get there all the time. In emergencies, standalone (Islanded) solar panels, battery storage systems (BSS), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices work together to provide a reliable source to the patients, particularly in the emergency ward, and also save public life without stopping the treatment due to power failure. Standalone Solar Power Modules (SSPM) are installed in a remote hospital located at Kaniyambadi Village, Vellore district, Tamil Nadu, India, and it is taken as a case study for 1 year. The various readings are taken for the first 6 months without IoT sensors in SSPM, and other readings are taken for the next 6 months with IoT sensors. This paper discusses the two results: SSPM with IoT sensors will yield 82% efficiency, system stability, proper monitoring, and performance improvement, while the existing system (first 6 months) without IoT can only yield 63%. The major aim of this work is to save lives in remote hospitals by incorporating SSPM, BSS, and IoT sensors, which can increase by 19% and provide continuous supply to the hospitals.
