Hospital energy storage solutions

4 FAQs about Hospital energy storage solutions

Why is CHP a good energy resource for hospitals?

CHP is a superior energy resource for hospitals because it can provide all of a hospital's energy services efficiently and indefinitely during grid outages. For hospitals, losing electricity—even for short periods—can disrupt critical life support systems. When the power goes out, lives may be at risk.

How much does a hospital spend on energy?

Frees resources for patient care. Hospitals spend $3.16 per square foot on energy costs each year on average, and this amount is climbing steadily. These costs can have a huge impact on a hospital. For example, a 237,400-square-foot, 75-bed hospital spends about $9,800 per bed on energy costs—about $735,000 per year.

Can a hospital sell excess power back to the grid?

In some cases, a hospital can sell excess power generated from renewable sources back to the grid, especially where net metering is permitted. Solar Thermal—Solar thermal systems have many mounting, orientation, shading, and weather issues similar to those discussed in the previous section. Others include:
