Lighting Haiti’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Kenji Blouin-ItoColin Mickle

Michael SelepMentor: Jaber Belkhiria

The Problem:

No lighting in NICU during power outages.

Design a backup lighting solution thatmeets the normal lighting needs

(4 fluorescent tubes) of the NICU long enough to cover a typical power outage

Generator and grid power logged at a site in Haiti, note the daily peaks in demand and the nightly baseline load.Source: USAID Powering Health

Our Pitch

Solution 1: Send over emergency ballasts for the existing fluorescent light tubes in the NICU. This option should be considered first and included with any alternate solutions. Cost: $60 per light fixture, $240 total, 7 year lifespan.

Emergency Ballast

Our Pitch


Solution 2: Install a bank of deep-cycle batteries for the existing inverter system, to be charged by the grid and provide uninterrupted power to the NICU. USAID has already trained technicians at HUEH to install and maintain flooded lead acid battery banks. Cost: $4700 for 24 hr of autonomy, 7 year lifespan.

Deep Cycle Battery Bank

Our Pitch


Solution 2: Install a bank of deep-cycle batteries for the existing inverter system, to be charged by the grid and provide uninterrupted power to the NICU. USAID has already trained technicians at HUEH to install and maintain flooded lead acid battery banks. Cost: $4700 for 24 hr of autonomy, 7 year lifespan.

Solution 3: Send over a small disaster lighting kit powered by the Sun King Pro 2, which can provide ambient light and charge headlamps and task lighting. $145 per kit for our initial design, $435 total, 5 year lifespan.

Disaster Lighting Kit

Client Approval

Does this project need to move to D-LAB II ?

● Fundraising for the battery bank already in progress.

● Disaster lighting kit would only be helpful for other health facilities (not necessary)

Nah.

What We Learned● Make no assumptions, take nothing for granted.● No one will have all the answers, so talk to as many

people as possible● Try to make contact with as many stakeholders as you

can, everyone has unique information that could be useful to you.

Our Client’s Requirements➔ It works➔ It’s dependable➔ It can’t hurt anyone

Ideal solution: Fix everything.

Realistic Solution: Give the NICU dependable backup lighting for Haiti’s daily outages.

Deliverable: “Small, Smaller, and Smallest”

A portfolio of three to four options, ranging from small-scale to even smaller-scale

Option A $ Out of Dr Phillips’ Pocket

Option B $$$ General Fundraising

Option C $$$$$ Gates Foundation Grant

Diesel Generator (Baseline)

➔Minimal, common, can replace the entire system with local stock.

➔Requires a fuel stockpile, manual start

Distributed Energy Storage

➔Zero installation, modular➔May be less straightforward to use

Central Energy Storage➔ Higher efficiency, convenient➔ Can’t install a one-off design

remotely, need a contractor

Whole-Building Islanding

➔ Seamless transition from on- to off-grid➔ Requires expensive, specialized equipment➔ Haiti’s grid doesn’t support energy buy-back

Evaluating our options?

➔Four lenses of sustainability

➔Technical➔Environmental➔Economic➔Social

Gaps in our Knowledge➔ Typical outage duration and frequency

at the hospital➔ Maximum power outage duration➔ Exact usage pattern➔ Local availability of parts➔ Local availability of tech support➔ Budget options
