| Özet |
| An adaptive driver motor was developed to use in PV panel cleaning systems in this study. The amount of energy produced from PV panels is directly related to parameters such as the rate and angle of solar irradiance falling on the panel. Covering the surface of PV panels with dust, dirt, etc., significantly reduces the amount of energy. A lot of research/development is being done with panel cleaning. In this study, a Linear Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motor was designed as an alternative drive element to be used in the methods used for cleaning the panels. In this study, analytical design and electromagnetic and structural analyses of linear BLDC were performed. The motor prototype was produced, and appropriate driver was selected and then mounted on the motor test setup. The test results on the system have shown that the designed motor and the system can be used for panel cleaning. Depending on this, cleaning technic produced energy was increased by 22%. Most of the external systems used either create an additional load on the panels or need an additional motor or reducer for linear motion. The unique aspect of the work is that it can provide linear motion for the cleaning equipment without additional load on the panels. In addition, due to the large thrust produced by the motor, it will be possible to clean the panels placed on the same axis with a single motor in successive panel series. |
