N2 - In this paper, a solar-based hybrid adjustable-speed pump, which has been developed in the laboratory, is used to investigate the power-sharing in hybrid (dual-input) motor-drive systems. The laboratory test setup contains a DC-DC module connected to the DC-bus capacitors of a 2.5hp 230V PWM-based adjustable-speed motor-drive. The experimental results demonstrate that the power-sharing of a Photovoltaic (PV) array/DC-DC converter is not a function of motor speed in hybrid solar-based motor-drives, as long as the power contribution of the AC-grid stays above zero. In these conditions, the PV-DC-DC module behaves like a current source, and the dynamic behavior of the motor is decoupled from the dynamic behavior of the AC-grid, given that the PV-DC- DC module can provide the motor load.
