However, the compatibility of appliances with DC distribution systems still requires much research effort. This work mainly explores on the power consumption profile of an inverter-driven Variable Speed Controller (VSC-based) refrigerator that has not yet been analyzed as one of the most important household loads. This paper compares the power consumption in two scenarios; 1) using three supply configurations for a VSC-based refrigerator, a Battery-Inverter-Load, a Battery-Load and Grid-Load, and 2) using a same AC power source to supply a VSC-based refrigerator and a same-size conventional refrigerator. This analysis helps toward modeling and energy estimation of PV system applications involving storage batteries. A wireless monitoring circuit has been employed to handle temperature, current and voltage measurements with a high sampling rate to cover the potential surge power. The experimental measurements show a better performance on using DC over AC power source and the power rate consumed has a smooth pattern at the starting-on time until approach a rated power. The measured efficiency of the Battery-Load topology approaches 99% compared to that of the Battery-inverter-load topology, which is approximately 78.5%. It is also found that the tested refrigerator with Battery-Load topology consumes an energy amounting to 1.850 kWh daily, while with Battery-inverter-load topology consumes 2.466 kWh daily under the same operating conditions. These results can serve as a model for modeling refrigerators and other appliances that adopt speed controller technology to drive their motors. � 2013 IEEE.
