Dynamic Analysis of Solar Energy Based Control of DC Drives

This paper is based on the development of Matlab Simulink model of solar photovoltaic cell for the control of DC drives. It comprises the steady state analysis of solar photovoltaic cell for the control of DC drives. In this study we have performed simulation to find out the I-V and P-V characteristics that includes a photo current source, series resistor and the diode. We also design a solar panel having modules in series and parallel and carried out the dynamical analysis of DC shunt, series and permanent magnet motors. The steady state characteristics of these three DC motors are presented and compared fed in the environment of fixed terminal voltage and the case of supplying the motors with fully illuminated and partially illuminated solar cells.
