Millennium Fellowship Project: Real-Time Optimization and Monitoring of Hybrid-Powered Oxygen Generation Using Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Technology
The project aims to improve medical oxygen generation in Zimbabwe by integrating hybrid energy generation, real-time monitoring, and IoT into VPSA technology. It combines solar and electrical energy sources to reduce energy consumption and increase efficiency. AI and machine learning enable real-time monitoring and adjustment of oxygen production, while IoT facilitates remote control and troubleshooting. The objective is to ensure sustainable and reliable access to medical oxygen, particularly in resource-limited settings, contributing to a greener healthcare infrastructure and improving overall healthcare services in Zimbabwe.
