A dialysis system (e.g., a hemodialysis (HD) system) can be designed to operate in alternative environments, such as disaster relief settings or underdeveloped regions. The dialysis system can include a solar panel for generating electricity to power the dialysis machine and an atmospheric water generator for extracting water from ambient air. The extracted water can be used to generate dialysate and saline on-site. One or more of the components of the dialysis machine can be discrete components that are configured to facilitate fast shipping and simple on-site assembly (e.g., at a remote location). In some implementations, the discrete components may be configured to be attached to an existing dialysis system (e.g., a dialysis system designed for operation in a traditional environment) to permit the dialysis system to operate in an alternative environment.

The monitoring system for air conditioning systems comprises a distributed power generation monitoring subsystem, a heating and ventilation energy management subsystem and a main monitoring system. The distributed power generation monitoring subsystem and the heating and ventilation energy management subsystem respectively monitor power generation status information of a distributed power generation device in an air conditioning system based on distributed power generation and power consumption status information of inherent devices in the system. The main monitoring system acquires monitoring data of the two subsystems by using a uniform first transmission protocol. In addition, the main monitoring system controls the distributed power generation device and the inherent devices in the air conditioning system according to the power generation status information and the power consumption status information.
