The Available Matching of Solar Arrays to DC Motors Having Both Constant and Series-Excited Field Components

Solar Photovoltaic Power with Control Strategies and Applications: A Review

“…Thus in order to operate the DC motors efficiently many control techniques were introduced by the researchers. [10][11]observed that the efficiency of separately excited DC motor when fed from solarPV array was increased from 29% to 75% when armature winding control and field winding control were applied.With the advancement in research field of the photovoltaic(PV) power generation, [12][13] had observed that smooth operation of the DC motor can be achieved with the use of DC-DC converter, thus protecting the motor from higher currents and voltages .Later on,it was observed that output power of the DC motor can be increased by proper selecting the parameters of the DC motor's magnetization characteristics and hence it was formulated that improved matching between PV array and DC motor can be achieved without any interfacing unit between them [14][15].…”
