“…Clean energy technologies-from renewable energy and energy efficiency to storage and smart grids-play an important role in the resilience of the power sector, bridging mitigation and adaptation to provide win-win scenarios for economic growth, resilience, and human health (Cox et al 2017). These technologies are readily available today, are cost competitive, and can be deployed rapidly, often with shorter construction timelines than fossil alternatives.…”

“…Power sector resilience planning can be done at many geographic scales and should be included within the existing power sector planning processes in place, such as integrated resource planning or power development planing. 7,8 Planning for power sector resilience Planning for power sector resilience requires engaging stakeholders in a common vision for a resilient system, gathering needed system data and information, assessing vulnerabilities, and developing strategies and enabling policies to improve the resilience of the sector. To perform a vulnerability assessment, planners initially gather data about critical loads, threats, energy resources, energy system infrastructure, and other relevant areas.…”

The provision of reliable, secure, and affordable electricity is essential to power economic growth and development. The power system is at risk from an array of natural, technological, and man-made threats that can cause everything from power interruption to chronic undersupply. It is critical for policymakers, planners, and system operators to safeguard their systems and plan for and invest in the improved resilience of the power sector in their countries. Through holistic resilience planning, actors can anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to the threats and stresses on the power system. Resilience planning identifies the threats, impacts, and vulnerabilities to the power system, and devises strategies to mitigate them. What are threats to the power system? Power sector vulnerabilities-weaknesses within infrastructure, systems, or operationsare susceptible to natural, technological, and human-caused threats. Impacts from these threats include potential fuel supply shortages for transportation and energy generation, physical infrastructure damage, shifts in energy demand, and disruption of electricity supply to the end user. 2 These disruptions, in turn, adversely affect critical services and facilities (e.g., hospital services, water treatment, and communications networks). As such, it is vital to understand threats to the power system and their associated impacts. NREL/TP-7A40-73618 | May 2019 NREL prints on paper that contains recycled content.

“…A climate-resilient energy is one that can provide "reliable, safe, and secure electricity during short-term disasters and events and as longer-term climate changes occur" (Cox et al, 2017). Diversifying energy resources enhances healthcare facilities' resiliency (Paterson, Berr, Ebi, & Varangu, 2014).…”

“…This is where hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) can step in. HRES, along with other models of distributed energy systems and microgrids can increase the energy infrastructure resilience of smaller-scale sectors or a particular facility (Cox et al, 2017;Hussain, Bui, & Kim, 2019). HRES, in particular, combines traditional and renewable energy technologies to address the limitations of each type (Al-Akori, 2014;Franco, Shaker, Kalubi, & Hostettler, 2017).…”

This study evaluated the techno-economic viability of utilizing a hybrid renewable energy system (HRES) in a standard rural healthcare facility in the Philippines to improve energy access and resiliency. The optimal configurations were determined to satisfy the electricity demand of the RHU while reducing the cost of energy (COE) by 37-42 percent and direct CO 2 emissions by~59 percent. Both grid-connected and off-grid scenarios were considered. Results show that a solar photovoltaic panel-grid system is optimal for the grid-connected scenario while a solar photovoltaic panelgenerator-battery system is optimal for the off-grid scenario. Most of the load was found to occur during daytime (specifically from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM) and the optimal configurations are estimated to provide at least 70 percent of the facility's electricity demand. The results of this study support the policy of encouraging the integration of HRES in rural healthcare facilities in the Philippines as a way to augment energy access and increase energy system resilience while reducing long-term costs and CO 2 emissions.
