Inferences from the P-V curves
• The power increases with increase in
Insolation.
• The short circuit current increases with
increase in Temperature & the open circuit
voltage reduces with increase in
temperature.
• The power decreases with increase in
temperature. EEE Department SRM University 28

• According to our reliability we require three batteries in parallel each battery ampere-
hour capacity calculated.
Selection of Inverter

Line commutated Inverter
• The line-commutated inverters are generally used for the electric
motor applications. The power stage is equipped with thyristors.
• The driver circuit has to be changed to shift the firing angle from the
rectifier operation (0 < φ < 90) to inverter operation (90 < φ < 180).
Six-pulse or 12-pulse inverter are used for the grid interfacing.
