Implementation and Performance Analysis of a Switched Reluctance Motor Fed from Non-Energy Stored PV System

Abstract

In this paper, an actual system that consist of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) and photovoltaic (PV) generation was analyzed to determine operational behaviors in terms of both generating and motor units. System was designed without an energy storage unit. This type of design allows obtaining more convergence and actual results during operation in different conditions. According to this aim, a system that includes such structures was constructed physically. System was operated and observed for different weather and loading conditions. As the proposed system was aimed to use for agricultural electrical vehicle applications, results were discussed by using graphs that obtained from various points, especially in terms of these approaches.
