Electrical load analysis in a hospital complex

The present paper has the main aim of illustrating some main results obtained from a wide electrical load research performed on a large metropolitan hospital in the city of Rome in Italy. The reported results demonstrate how important is an accurate load monitoring activity in order to identify typical demand and consumption patterns. The availability of such patterns allows identify effective strategies of load and energy management as well as operational or functional inefficiencies in the electric load that can be easily and cheaply resolved with preventative maintenance interventions and retro-commissioning actions.
