A NEW GENERATION SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR ELEVATOR DOOR OPERATION

This paper proposes the concept of a solar photovoltaic (SPV) integrated system for operation of an elevator door motor. The system uses a solar charge controller so that a steady voltage is supplied to the elevator DC shunt motor. The charge controller also protects the system against overcharging and over discharging. The integrated system has been simulated using PSIM and it has also been implemented in real life as a real life prototype to perform experiments. The experimental results have been captured and analyzed to understand the usefulness of such system.
