model validation and economic dispatch of a dual axis pv tracking system connected to energy storage with grid connection a case of a Healthcare Institution in south africa
Journal of energy storage, 2020Co-Authors: P A Hohne, K Kusakana, B P NumbiAbstract:Abstract Healthcare Institutions, ranks the second highest energy intensive buildings in the commercial sector, with daily energy consumption ranging from 43 to 92 kWh per bed. Energy management in this sector may prove difficult due to the demand's critical and non-deferrable nature. Therefore, in this paper, a validated optimal power dispatch model of a proposed hybrid energy system connected to a Healthcare Institution is developed. The Healthcare Institution considered in this study, which will remain anonymous, 1 is subjected to Time-of-Use (ToU) tariffs and maximum demand charges and is considering the implementation of renewable energy technologies to reduce energy costs. Consequently, given the geographical location of the building, a system consisting of a photovoltaic tracking system with a battery bank and grid connection supplying the load is proposed and modelled. The aim is to optimize the power flow between the hybrid system and battery in order to minimize the grid energy costs based on the ToU tariff while reducing the maximum demand charges from the utility. Annual potential cost savings of up to 40.9% were attained, while a projected break-even point of 7.1 years is noted with the proposed optimally controlled system as compared to the load exclusively supplied by the grid.

X-PAT: A Multiplatform Patient Referral Data Management System for Small Healthcare Institution Requirements
IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine, 2008Co-Authors: Marco Masseroli, Mario MarchenteAbstract:We present X-PAT, a platform-independent software prototype that is able to manage patient referral multimedia data in an intranet network scenario according to the specific control procedures of a Healthcare Institution. It is a self-developed storage framework based on a file system, implemented in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and PHP Hypertext Preprocessor Language, and addressed to the requirements of limited-dimension Healthcare entities (small hospitals, private medical centers, outpatient clinics, and laboratories). In X-PAT, Healthcare data descriptions, stored in a novel Referral Base Management System (RBMS) according to Health Level 7 Clinical Document Architecture Release 2 (CDA R2) standard, can be easily applied to the specific data and organizational procedures of a particular Healthcare working environment thanks also to the use of standard clinical terminology. Managed data, centralized on a server, are structured in the RBMS schema using a flexible patient record and CDA Healthcare referral document structures based on XML technology. A novel search engine allows defining and performing queries on stored data, whose rapid execution is ensured by expandable RBMS indexing structures. Healthcare personnel can interface the X-PAT system, according to applied state-of-the-art privacy and security measures, through friendly and intuitive Web pages that facilitate user acceptance.

WorldCIST (3) - Business Analytics for Social Healthcare Institution
Trends and Innovations in Information Systems and Technologies, 2020Co-Authors: Miguel Quintal, Tiago Guimaraes, Antonio Abelha, Manuel Filipe SantosAbstract:A Business Analytics (BA) component aims, in an early phase, to transform data into information to later generate knowledge. Nowadays, organizations increasingly tend to deal with large amounts of data. With the absence of a BA component responsible for the data integration and consolidation process, organizations end up missing the data’s potential in becoming information and, therefore, useful knowledge. BA components also incorporate data visualization tools, namely dashboards, which provide a quick and intuitive data analysis that helps the process of transforming data into information. Easy access to useful information means having full support for the organization’s decision-making process. This basically leads the organization to face improvements in their business performance and, consequently, to gain a competitive advantage over the organizations that perform in the same business sector. Therefore, it is easy to understand that the benefits of this technology extend to all business sectors, including Healthcare business. The article goals are understanding what is BA and in which ways a BA component can be explored in the Healthcare business to increase efficiency on the health care provision on a Social Healthcare Institution. Finally, this article will also present a developed BA component focused on monitoring the business process of a Social Healthcare Institution to support the goals mentioned above.
