Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Motor

What are the main features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation?

Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.

What are the applications of solar PV based water pumping?

The irrigation, drinking and industrial water supply, and fountains are recently focused applications of solar PV based water pumping. Water pumping has been an attention-grabbing application of solar PV energy since last two decades. The brushless DC (BLDC) motor, being an energy efficient motor, suits the said application of solar PV energy.

What are PV fed motor drive based applications?

PV fed motor drive based applications in a domestic, agricultural and industrial level increased. This work focus classification and control techniques of drive based on types of conversion stages.

Can BLDC motor-driven solar photovoltaic (PV) fed water pump be sensorless?

This study deals with a position sensorless brushless DC (BLDC) motor-driven solar photovoltaic (PV) fed water pump. A technique based on the back electromotive force (back-EMF) zero crossing is proposed for sensorless operation of the BLDC motor. The back-EMF is derived from the difference of line voltages.

Is solar PV a competitive source of new power generation capacity?

Solar PV is emerging as one of the most competitive sources of new power generation capacity after a decade of dramatic cost declines. A decline of 74% in total installed costs was observed between 2010 and 2018 (Figure 10).

Can PV panels supply DC power to AC motor?

DC power obtained from PV panels can directly supply to DC motor or it can be converted to alternating current (AC) using an inverter to drive AC motor. Fig. 1 shows four possible ways of power transfer from PV to either DC or AC drive applications and are described as followed as:
