1. A method for energy management in a mobile medical unit, the method comprising:
using a microgrid assessment tool to capture both granular load profiles and power quality data for a mobile medical unit powered by a microgrid;
modeling a plurality of scenarios, using the data captured by the microgrid assessment tool to determine hybrid power system optimization; and
supplying power to the mobile medical unit from one or more of a plurality of energy sources in the hybrid microgrid based on the results of the optimization;
detecting at predefined time intervals whether the power supplied by the plurality of energy sources is greater than a threshold value,
wherein the threshold value is determined based on the modeling of the plurality of scenarios, and
wherein the plurality of energy sources includes at least one renewable energy source and at least one non-renewable energy source.
