Modeling and design considerations of a photovoltaic energy source feeding a synchronous reluctance motor suitable for pumping systems

This paper presents the performance analysis of a photovoltaic (PV) energy source driving a synchronous reluctance (SyncRel) motor. The design considerations of the PV array, suitable for driving a centrifugal pump, are studied. Three design approaches are proposed at an average insolation of 0.5 kW...
