Abstract

The performance of a solar-electrical system composed of a solar cell array, d.c. separately exicted motor and a mechanical load was analysed. The system operating points in the mechanical plane, (n, T) were transferred to the photovoltaic converter plane (I, U). The relative position of the load line to the maximum power output line of the photovoltaic converter indicates its utilization. The venitlator type load (centrifugal pump) fits very well the converter in contrast to a constant load. The speed variation of the ventilator type load-motor link remains in reasonable limits during the day. For a centrifugal pump, this characteristic corresponds to an almost constant pumping rate during most of the day.
