Abstract
Este estudio evalúa la prefactibilidad técnica, económica y operativa de implementar un sistema solar fotovoltaico híbrido con almacenamiento en el Hospital General Atlántida, ubicado en La Ceiba, Honduras. La investigación surge ante las constantes interrupciones en el suministro eléctrico que afectan la atención médica en áreas críticas del hospital, producto de la deficiente infraestructura de transmisión eléctrica en la región del Litoral Atlántico. Mediante análisis de carga, evaluación de infraestructura disponible, simulaciones con software especializado (PVsyst) y proyecciones financieras, se dimensionó un sistema capaz de abastecer la demanda energética prioritaria con fuentes renovables, garantizando continuidad del servicio en quirófanos, unidades de cuidados intensivos y laboratorios. Los resultados evidencian que, además de mejorar la resiliencia operativa del hospital, la propuesta es viable económica y técnicamente, además contribuiría a la reducción de costos y dependencia de combustibles fósiles, alineándose con los objetivos nacionales de transición energética.
This study evaluates the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of implementing a hybrid solar photovoltaic system with energy storage at Hospital General Atlántida, located in La Ceiba, Honduras. The research emerges in response to frequent power interruptions that impact medical care in critical areas of the hospital, due to the deficient electricity transmission infrastructure in the Atlantic Coast region. Through load analysis, assessment of available infrastructure, simulations using specialized software (PVsyst), and financial projections, a system was designed to supply the hospital's priority energy demand using renewable sources, ensuring continuity of service in operating rooms, intensive care units, and laboratories. The results show that, in addition to improving the hospital’s operational resilience, the proposed solution is both economically and technically viable and would also contribute to reducing costs and dependence on fossil fuels, aligning with the country’s national energy transition goals.
