Hassan %J International Journal of Electrical and Power Engineering %D 2012 %I %R 10.3923/ijepe.2010.105.112 %X In this study, the analysis of a PV array connected directly without an intermediate converter to a voltage-source inverter/induction motor system driving a centrifugal pump is presented. This method is based on that the VSI/induction motor system, operating at a constant air gap flux can be connected directly to the PV array by controlling the insolation level to which the PV array is subjected. %U http://www.medwellonline.net/abstract/?doi=ijepe.2010.105.112
