DC motor driving supplied with photovoltaic cell

Due to limited capacity and decreasing of energy sources like petrol andconsidering the safety problems of nuclear energy the demand for solar andwind energies which are called as clean energy is increasing. In this study, aconverter has been designed to use solar energy in house or industry. Theoutput voltage of a solar panel is about 20 volt. The solar panel voltage isincreased to 220 V and kept constant at this value using a controller. Thisvoltage is applied to a series dc motor. The speed of dc motor is controlled usinga PIC controller. The simulation of the circuit is performed by SIMPLORER6.0 program and the obtained results are compared with the experimentalresults.Science Code : 905Key Words : Solar panel, DC motor, push-pull converter, speed controlPage Number : 99Adviser : Asistant Prof. İres İSKENDER
