The Electrical Division organised the webinar on Critical Power Supply for Health Care on 13 April 2022 to talk about the major challenges for power supply of different healthcare facilities and how the latest technologies benefit the issue. There were over 500 participants who attended the webinar. The webinar was shared by one of our committee members Ir Ian Lee from Schneider Electric. 

Ir Ian Lee, who is an experienced engineer in building industry specializing in building energy management, shared with us the four most significant challenges for healthcare facilities: hospital resilience, people centricity, hyper-efficiency, and sustainability. Ir Lee elaborated in depth how the latest innovations and IoT technology deal with each of these challenges. He discussed how the power system design and data availability would affect the resilience of the healthcare facilities. Through the adoption of these technologies, it can significantly enhance the reliability as well as efficiency of various critical healthcare facilities. 

In the webinar, the major challenges in power supply system for healthcare facilities and different innovating solutions were discussed. It is believed that by adopting various power supply technologies and protection devices, we are able to maximize the effectiveness and reliabilities of healthcare system. 

The session wrapped up with a question-and-answer session. Numerous questions were collected from the participants on the challenges of power system design and related issues. Ir Lee addressed them one by one with detailed information and examples.
