AC Induction Motor Through PV

[sairam]

Dear sir,

i need to calculate solar pv sizing for motive load other than pumps.

how to calculate sizing of pv plant considering the motor kw rating only.

for example if i need to run 10 kw motor through solar pv only , how to size the solar capacity,

i.e. how to compensate motor starting current in PV Design.

i have not found any solution for this in any design literature.

Regards,

sairam

You cannot build a system without a battery, as the sun's production is never guaranteed.

Therefore the problem will be reduced to define a stand-alone system.

Your problem will be to find an inverter able to drive you motor, including the starting current. This is probably standard in the industry.
