Electrotechnical Complexes of Heliotechnical Devices: a Generalized Classification

Abstract

The need to systematize the existing electrotechnical complexes of heliotechnical devices (ECHD) is due to their growing quantity, diversity, and element base. In the proposed publication, a generalized classification of the ECHD is made over a wide range of parameters that characterize the ECHD as a separate class of devices, as their diversity and features are sufficient to describe the ECHD as such. The classification herein proposed analyzes in detail the whole structure and possible layout solutions, an effort enabled by the well-developed modern elemental base for the design of the ECHD. Using this classification enables a more precise, detailed and verified structural synthesis of the ECHD, which will help the solar engineering engineer to better understand and justify a set of technical solutions in the design, construction and operation of ECHD classes. Only electric drives are considered.
