Objective This research examines various problems concerning the production and utilisation of mechanical power by means of electric motors linked to photovoltaic solar plants. Such systems are particularly important in some remote zones, where connection to the electricity network is very difficult and expensive. Brush direct current (DC) motor systems are economically advantageous with respect to alternating current (AC) motor systems,especially for applications using less than 3 kW. High efficiency brush DC electric motor systems, designed for solar plant applications, together with their electronic control systems, show expected values of efficiency and cost making their use significantly advantageous from the economic point of view.STUDY AND EVALUATION OF ADVANCED DC MOTOR FOR PHOTOVOLTAIC APPLICATIONS.
