Abstract :
The impact of administrative processes on energy services is significant. Since electricity is considered the center of development, special attention to rural electricity supply and also solving possible problems of important rural centers in the areas of reliable electricity supply and lighting can pave the way for sustainable development in rural areas. In this regard, one of the main priorities of the government is to provide services to villages, hamlets, and deprived areas, as well as increase the quality of services provided to these areas and, of course, for sensitive uses in the villages. Due to the importance of the above, in the present work, for the first time, the simultaneous production of solar electricity and heat for a public health center located in the village of Sar Agha Seyed in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province has been evaluated. The reason for choosing this village and this government health service center to investigate is that in winter and autumn, with snow and rain, the region's electricity is cut off. In addition, it is very important and necessary to pay attention to continuous and stable electricity supply due to the sensitivity of medical centers in providing services. Technical, economic, environmental, optimization, and sensitivity analysis assessments are performed by HOMER commercial software over a period of one year. Another purpose of this article is to study the different organizational dimensions of the use of renewable energy in rural public health centers
