현재 태양광에너지 시장은 해마다 빠른 속도로 성장하는 추세이며 50 GWp/년 이상의 시장으로 변화하였고 앞으로도 전체적인 성장세는 지속 유지될 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 이와 아울러 각 Value chain 별로 많은 기업들이 생겨나게되어 각각의 기업들이 제품을 고효율 저가화 함으로서 경쟁력을 확보하기 위해 많은 노력들이 기울이고 있으며 본 강연에서는 이러한 측면에서 태양광 에너지의 분야별 고효율/저가화를 위한 기술동향을 살펴보고자 한다. 태양광 산업은 아직은 다소 높은 발전단가로 인해 일부 정부의 지원이나 정책에 의해 산업의 규모가 결정되게 되는데 주요한 지원제도는 RPS 제도와 FIT 제도가 있으며 우리나라는 초기 FIT 제도로 국가에서 태양광에서 생산된 전기를 높은 가격에 사주었으나 근래에들어 RPS 제도를 운영하게 되었으며 매전을 하면서 SMP에 준하는 수익을 창출하고 이와 아울러 REC 를 확보하여 확보된 REC 단가에 의해 추가적인 수익을 창출하는 구조의 발전사업이 진행되고 있다. 그리고 RPS나 FIT와 같은 정부의 지원없이도 발전단가의 경쟁력을 확보하는 시점을 그리드패러티라고 하며 이는 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 태양광의 저가화는 그리드패러티 달성을 확보하기 위해 필수적으로 필요한 사안이며 앞으로도 이러한 저가화 / 고효율화 기술노력은 계속 진행될 것으로 판단된다. 우선 소재의 가격을 줄이기 위해 웨이퍼의 두께가 점점 박형화 되어가고 박형화 되면서도 안정적인 공정수율 및 효율을 향상시키기 위한 기술개발이 진행되고 있으며 Cell 분야에 있어서도 고효율을 위한 다양한 Texturing 기술 및 패시베이션 기술의 개발이 이루어 지고 있으며 고효율 컨셉의 MRT cell, Back contact cell 등 고효율 구조의 cell의 양산을 진행하고 있는 등 최근 n-type 기반의 고효율 cell 기술이 활발하게 양산화 검토가 이루어 지고 있다. 모듈 분야에 있어서는 저가/고효율화와 아울러 제품의 신뢰성 확보가 무엇보다도 중요하게 다루어 지고 있으며 이는 모듈이 최소 25년 이상 Field 에서 운용되어 수익창출이 가능해야 하므로 가장 중요한 요소중에 하나라고 할 수 있다. 신뢰성 측면에서 중요하게 다루어 지고 있는 것 중 하나가 PID 저감을 위한 노력이며 이와 관련된 각 소재의 개발이 가장 활발하게 진행되고 있으며 이와 아울러 장수명을 보장하기 위한 내구성이 겸비된 봉지재의 개발 또한 많은 관심을 불러 일으키고 있다. 저가/고효율화를 위해 CTM loss를 줄이기 위한 다양한 시도가 이루어지고 있으며 특수 형태의 리본으로 빛의 흡수를 증가시키거나 컨택저항을 최소화 하기위한 소재의 개발이 이루어 지고 있다. 태양광 시스템 분야의 경우 발전량과 수익창출에 있어 직접적인 영향을 미치는 분야로서 전체 시스템의 loss 를 줄이고 최적의 환경에서 최대한의 발전량을 확보하기 위한 array 설계 및 운용기술이 활발하게 개발되고 있으며 시스템에서의 loss를 줄여줄수 있는 마이크로 인버터나 multi string 인버터의 적용도 이루어 지고 있으나 저가화를 위한 추가적인 노력이 필요한 상황이다. 본 강연의 마지막으로 이러한 노력들의 산물인 특수 태양광 제품 및 시스템의 기술동향에 대해 살펴하고자 한다. 사막은 전체면적의 1/3을 차지할 정도로 넓은 면적을 자랑하지만 밤과 낮의 기온차 그리고 계통 선로의 부재 등 적용하기 어려운 환경적인 제약도 함께 존재하며 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안에 대해 살펴보고 최근 Hot issue 중의 하나인 수상 태양광 시스템의 장, 단점과 기술적 특성 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

The estimation of available solar energy at particular locations is critical to find and assess suitable locations of PV sites. The amount of PV power generation is however affected by various geographical factors (e.g., weather), which may make it difficult to identify the complex relationship between affecting factors and power outputs and to apply findings from one study to another in different locations. This study thus undertakes a regression analysis using data collected from 172 PV plants spatially distributed in Korea to identify critical weather conditions and estimate the potential power generation of PV systems. Such data also include solar radiation, precipitation, fine dust, humidity, temperature, cloud amount, sunshine duration, and wind speed. The estimated PV power generation is then compared to the actual PV power generation to evaluate prediction performance. As a result, the proposed model achieves a MAPE of 11.696(%) and an R-squred of 0.979. It is also found that the variables, excluding humidity, are all statistically significant in predicting the efficiency of PV power generation. According, this study may facilitate the understanding of what weather conditions can be considered and the estimation of PV power generation for evaluating and determining suitable locations of PV facilities.

To participate in global carbon neutrality, the Korean government is also planning to carry out zero-energy building certification for all buildings by 2030 through the enforcement decree of the 'Green Building Support Act'. Accordingly, the government is providing various projects related to solar power generation, which are relatively close to life. In particular, roof-mounted photovoltaic power generation systems are attracting attention in terms of using unused space to produce energy without destroying the environment, but low power generation efficiency compared to other photovoltaic power generation facilities is pointed out as a disadvantage. Therefore, in this paper, to solve this problem, we propose an efficient solar panel angle variable system through research on the solar panel structure for single-axial solar tracking, and also consider the application environment of the roof-mounted solar power generation system. Suggests measures to prevent damage and secondary damage. In addition, it is judged that it is possible to control the solar panel based on ICT convergence and configure the accident prediction safety system to link the project-based education program.

Light Emitting Diodes(LEDs) are widely utilized not only in lighting but also in various applications such as mobile phones, automobiles, displays, etc. The integration of LED lighting with communication, specifically Visible Light Communication(VLC), has gained significant attention. This paper presents the direct implementation and experimentation of a Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V) Visible Light Communication system using commonly used red and yellow LEDs in typical vehicles. Data collected from the leading vehicle, including positional and speed information, were modulated using Non-Return-to-Zero On-Off Keying(NRZ-OOK) and transmitted through the rear lights equipped with red and yellow LEDs. A photodetector(PD) received the visible light signals, demodulated the data, and restored it. To mitigate the interference from fluorescent lights and natural light, a PD for interference removal was installed, and an interference removal device using a polarizing filter and a differential amplifier was employed. The performance of the proposed visible light communication system was analyzed in an ideal case, indoors and outdoors environments. In an outdoor setting, maintaining a distance of approximately 30[cm], and a transmission rate of 4800[bps] for inter-vehicle data transmission, the red LED exhibited a performance improvement of approximately 13.63[dB], while the yellow LED showed an improvement of about 11.9[dB].

Recently, solar power plants have spread widely as part of the transition to greater environmental protection and renewable energy. Therefore, regular solar plant inspection is necessary to efficiently manage solar-light modules. This study implemented a test that can detect solar-light module faults using an UAV based thermal infrared camera and GIS spatial analysis. First, images were taken using fixed UAV and an RGB camera, then orthomosaic images were created using Pix4D SW. We constructed solar-light module layers from the orthomosaic images and inputted the module layer code. Rubber covers were installed in the solar-light module to detect solar-light module faults. The mean temperature of each solar-light module can be calculated using the Zonalmean function based on temperature information from the UAV thermal camera and solar-light module layer. Finally, locations of solar-light modules of more than $37^{\circ}C$ and those with rubber covers can be extracted automatically using GIS spatial analysis and analyzed specifically using the solar-light module's identifying code.

Agricultural Photovoltaic power generation is a new model that installs solar power generation facilities on top of farmland. Through this, it is possible to increase farm household income by producing crops and electricity at the same time. Recently, various attempts have been made to utilize agricultural solar power generation. Agricultural photovoltaic power generation has a disadvantage in that maintenance is relatively difficult because it is installed on a relatively high structure unlike conventional photovoltaic power generation. To solve these problems, intelligent and efficient operation and diagnostic functions are required. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a prediction and diagnosis system to collect and store the power output of agricultural solar power generation facilities and implement an intelligent prediction model. The proposed system predicts the amount of power generation based on the amount of solar power generation and environmental sensor data, determines whether there is an abnormality in the facility, calculates the aging degree of the facility and provides it to the user.

Observations on the seedling growth of red pepper responding to different temperature(10, 20, 3$0^{\circ}C$) and light intensity(5, 15, 25 klux) were made in the growth Chamber during 7 weeks. The results obtained were as follows; 1. Best results of the combinations of temperature and light intensity were obtained from the combinated treatment of 3$0^{\circ}C$ and 25klux. At all of the temperature levels in this experiment, the more the light intensity is high, the more the growth is favor, but at low temperature below 2$0^{\circ}C$ and low light intensity below 15 klux, the growth of red pepper seedlings was decreased markedly. 2. Multiple regression polynomial equations of the characteristics of red pepper seedlings grown in the different combinations of temperature and light intensity fitted well in the plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, stem dry weight and shoot dry weight. 3. Multiple regression polynomial equation to the shoot dry weight was partial differentiated and diagrammatized the response surface using its theoretical value. Light intensity affected more to the shoot dry weight in the temperature below 2$0^{\circ}C$ but above 2$0^{\circ}C$ the role of the temperature showed greatly influence however, interaction effects of light intensity and temperature showed strongly.

BACKGROUND: The incandescent bulb and compact fluorescent lamp are widely using as a light sources for daylength extension of chrysanthemum. But, these light sources consume a lot of electricity and have short longevity. A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semi conductor light source. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime. In this study, we investigated the intensity of red light to control flowering of chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiflorum cv. "Shinma") by using LEDs. METHODS AND RESULTS: The red (660 nm) and far-red (730 nm) light were irradiated subsequently to investigate photo-reversible flowering responses of chrysanthemum. The flowering of chrysanthemum was inhibited by night interruption with red light but subsequently irradiated far-red light induced the flowering of chrysanthemum. This photoreversibility, reversion of the inductive effect of a brief red light pulse by a subsequent far-red light pulse, is a property of photo responses regulated by the plant photoreceptor phytochrome B. Four different intensity of red light of 0.7, 1.4, 2.1, and $2.8{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ (PAR) were irradiated at growth room in order to determine the threshold for floral inhibition of chrysanthemum. Over $1.4{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ of the red lights irradiated chrysanthemums were not flowered. The plant length, fresh weight, number of leaves, and leaf area of chrysanthemum irradiated with red light were increased by 17%, 36%, 11%, and 48%, respectively, compared to those of compact fluorescent lamp. CONCLUSION(S): The red light and subsequential far-red light showed that the photoreversibility on flowering of chrysanthemum. The red light ($1.4{\mu}mol/m^2/s$ of red LEDs) and white light (50 Lux of compact fluorescent lamp) have the same effect on inhibition of flowering in chrysanthemum. Additionally, the red light increased the plant height and dry weight of chrysanthemum.

This study was conducted to develop new indoor plants and to investigate the effects of light intensity on the growth of Trachelospermum asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai and Piper kauzura. Most of T. asiaticum var. intermedium Nakai under 100 lux light intensity were blighted in two months, whereas survival rate was 83.3% after five months under 1,000 lux and 2,500 lux. Plant height, number of leaf, leaf width and leaf length increased as light intensity increased. The plants maintained under 2,500 lux showed the greatest plant height and leaf number. Piper kadzura Ohwi was defoliated and blighted in four months under 100 lux light intensity, whereas survival rate was 100% after five months under 1,000 lux and 2,500 lux. But, 1,000 lux light intensity was more favorable chlorophyll contents, leaf length and leaf width than 2,500 lux light intensity. Slight increase of chlorophyll contents and leaf growth under 1,000 lux indicates that Piper kadzura Ohwi could be utilized highly as a indoor ornamental plant.
