| Popis: | This work compares the simulated performance of two Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems used for the power suppy of two COVID-19 diagnostic technologies (Polymerase Chain Reaction and Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification) using the software PVsyst. In addition, an evaluation of carbon dioxide emissions produced by these diagnostic systems using the power grid and simulated Grid-connected PV systems is presented. In general, the simulation results show Performance Ratios (PR) of 84.8% and 85% and Solar Fractions (SF) of 51.8% and 54.3% in the Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technologies, respectively. According to these results, the use of simulated Grid-connected PV systems could avoid the emission of 1.5 and 1.63 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2-eq) in the PCR and LAMP technologies, respectively. Finally, it was obtained that 14 Regional Reference Laboratories of the National Institute (INS - Peru) emits a total of 74.17 tons of CO2-eq in a year. |
