■ The Faculty of Medicine at Thamar University witnessed a field visit today by the University Rector, Professor Dr. Mohammed Al-Haifi, accompanied by the Vice-Rector for Student Affairs, Professor Dr. Abdulkafi Al-Rifai, the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dr. Abdullah Al-Murtadha, the Vice Dean for Student Affairs, Dr. Abdullah Al-Adhruei, as well as the University Rector's Consultant for Quality Affairs, Dr. Khalid Al-Husseini, the Head of the University's Media and Public Relations Department, Mr. Jamal Al-Bahri, and the General Director General of the University Rector's Office, Mr. Majid Al-Washali.

 

The visit came as a part of the University leadership's follow-up on the rapid development of the Faculty's infrastructure, particularly in the field of alternative energy, which has become a fundamental pillar for the continuity of the educational process.

 

During the visit, the University Rector and his delegation were briefed on the project to equip the college with a state of the art solar power system, one of the largest at the university. The system includes the installation of eighty hybrid solar panels, each with a capacity of 710 watts, bringing the total production capacity to 56.8 kilowatts. This will significantly enhance the college's ability to meet its daily energy needs and operate its laboratories and workshops without interruption.

 

The system also incorporates an advanced energy storage system consisting of eight lithium batteries with a total storage capacity of 40.96 kilowatts, as well as a high-voltage, three-phase hybrid inverter. This ensures stable current and the ability to handle various operational loads within the college's facilities.

 

The panel bases, DC and AC cables, battery control and monitoring system with rack, inverter-storage unit connection system, central AC protection panel (which serves as the system's safety hub), and grounding and lightning protection systems were also inspected.

 

During the visit, the University Rector affirmed that these significant additions represent a strategic step within the university's plan to modernize its infrastructure and enhance its operational capabilities. He commended the efforts of the Faculty of Medicine in developing its facilities to meet the requirements of modern medical education. He noted that the project was funded by the Central Emergency Development Interventions Unit of the Ministry of Local Administration and Rural Development.

 

The Rector of the University also praised the organized and meticulous work in implementing the solar energy system, describing it as a sustainable project that supports the continuity of the educational and research process and provides a stable academic environment for students.
