In a world where electricity is vital, it is crucial to design a reliable and efficient power system with constant backup, especially for hospitals. As renewable energy and green technologies become more prominent, alternative power solutions are increasingly part of that supply. This project involved designing an advanced energy storage system at Assuta Hospital in Ashdod. The designed system collects solar energy during peak hours and supplies it during high-demand periods. It can also produce electricity independently, using solar panels and storing the energy in lithium-ion batteries. In addition, we developed a smart management system for charging and discharging, to ensure optimal energy use. This solution improved energy stability for the hospital and reduced its reliance on the external grid.

More than 10% of Israel’s electricity consumption comes from photovoltaic sources, with a government target of 30% by 2030. The goal of this project was the design of a large-scale photovoltaic power station connected to the electrical grid. The design involved optimal component selection, yield and efficiency calculations, and the integration of power and energy management systems. A key challenge was balancing the system cost with its energy and economic benefits. This involved selecting between high-efficiency vs. cost-effective systems, centralized vs. decentralized inverters, evaluating tracking system feasibility, and optimizing energy transmission to minimize losses. By using a smart panel layout, decentralized inverters, mostly AC transmission, and optimal system design, the project achieved high efficiency at reasonable costs.
