Independent power supply

for Kushima Hospital.

At Kushima Municipal Hospital in Miyazaki Prefecture, a biomass cogeneration plant is used for independent and decentralized energy supply for disaster prevention or mitigation.

Hospital goal:

Independent and decentralized energy for local disaster prevention/mitigation while maintaining low carbon emissions.

Solution:

A pellet-fired “WE-50P” CHP and high-efficiency chillers/heaters were installed in 2021.

Services and benefits

  • The hospital continues to operate even during power outages.
  • The air-conditioning systems are independent of electricity and are powered by the CHP’s heat or cold generation.
  • The hospital uses local renewable energy resources from the surrounding forest areas.
  • The use of fossil fuels and CO₂ emissions from the hospital facilities have been significantly reduced.
