Utilization Analysis of Solar Cells as an Energy Source to Supply Oxygen at the Military Hospital of dr. Asmir Salatiga

Abstract

Abstract Hospitals are institutions that require a large and continuous supply of energy to run their operations. Using of intensive energy can have a significant impact on the environment and the use of limited natural resources. In this context, the Oxygen Generator System (OGS) is an important system for hospitals because it requires a continuous supply of energy for 24 hours. This article aims to analyze the potential of utilizing solar energy as an alternative energy source to supply oxygen at dr. Asmir Salatiga. In this study, using a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Hospital of dr. Asmir Salatiga has utilized solar cells to generate its own electricity and support the operation of oxygen generators. Oxygen production data shows a significant increase after switching to solar energy supply. The use of solar energy helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to climate change mitigation efforts.
