Resilient Microgrids for Aged Care Facilities: Clean Hydrogen Hybrid Systems for Disaster

Abstract

Aged care facilities require a reliable and resilient energy infrastructure to ensure the safety and well-being of residents, particularly during disasters. This paper explores the potential of resilient microgrids powered by clean hydrogen hybrid systems as a sustainable solution for disaster preparedness in aged care facilities. The study examines the technological, economic, and policy dimensions of deploying hydrogen-based energy systems, emphasizing the integration of fuel cells, renewable energy sources, and battery storage. The research also highlights strategies to enhance system efficiency, reduce carbon footprints, and improve energy reliability for aged care facilities.
