Abstract—Renewable Energy Systems are becoming a
common choice for small communities around the world.
Recently the United Nation efforts to provide field hospitals
have decreased in areas that face a high risk in transportation,
lack of power and lack of security for field officers. In this paper,
a PV hybrid system is being considered for supplying an electric
load of a mobile hospital in an area where there is no grid. An
optimal configuration has been determined by taking the total
cost as the objective. In a world where civil wars are increasing,
lack of aids and health resources have a major effect on people
lives. A hybrid system is a cost effective solution to power a
mobile hospital. Furthermore, it is expected that the proposed
system will help communities to provide uninterrupted power
for their sites to accommodate a doctor and two nursing staff in
remote areas.
