화석에너지의 유한성과 공해문제로 인해 대체에너지 개발에 대한 관심이 고조되는 가운데 태양광발전과 풍력발전이 그 중에서 가장 활발하게 연구되고 실제 이용비율도 상당히 높은 편이다. 이는 외기 기후변화에 대한 상대적인 보완성을 가진 두 가지 형태의 에너지원으로부터의 에너지변환과정으로 인해 그 이용이 더욱 부각되고 있다. 기존의 풍력발전시스템, 태양광발전시스템 또는 풍력/태양광 복합발전시스템 중 대형발전시스템의 경우는 일사량센서나 풍속센서를 부착하여 최대 출력점 제어나 외기환경 인식을 위해서 일사량이나 풍속과 같은 외기환경정보를 획득하여 사용하며 이를 교육용 또는 외기환경정보를 분석하는데 이용하기도 하고, 다양한 표시장치를 통해 표시하기도 한다. 그러나, 일사량센서나 풍속센서는 고가의 센서로 대형 태양광발전시스템이나 풍력발전시스템에서는 여러 개소의 설치를 통해 보다 정확한 정보를 획득해야 하며, 이를 위해 많은 개수의 센서가 필요하다. 현실적으로 여러 개의 센서는 고가의 설치 비용으로 인해 샘플링을 위해서만 설치될 뿐 발전시스템의 설치사이트의 다양한 분석이 어려운 점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 풍속센서나 일사량센서 없이 태양전지모듈로부터 직접 일사량을 검출하는 방식의 일사량 정보획득과 풍력발전시스템에서의 풍속정보를 획득하는 방법을 제안한다.

최근 10년간 우리나라의 에너지 소비는 매년 10[%]라는 세계 최고의 증가율을 기록하고 있으며 온실가스배출량 증가율 역시 세계 1 위를 기록하고 있다. 세계기후협약 이행이 늦추어지고는 있지만 머지않아 우리도 여기에 참여하지 않을 수 없는 형편이어서 대체에너지 개발의 필요성은 더욱 절실하게 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 11개 분야의 신 재생 어|너지 중에서 최근 가장 많은 관심을 갖고 있는 태양광 발전은 태양광을 직접 전기에너지로 변환시키는 기술로서 광을 조사시 광전효과에 의해 전기를 발생하는 원리를 이용한 발전방식이다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 구성장치에 의해 넓은 부지가 필요하며 햇빛의 방향에 따라 또는 태양전지에 입사하는 일사량의 정도에 따라 많은 발전전력에 차이가 있으므로 태양광 발전의 경우 발전단가가 높고 효율이 낮기 때문에 일사량에 따른 전력을 측정하여 효율적인 발전에 필요한 조건을 알아 보기위해 2007년 1년간의 실증운전을 통한 일사량과 전력발생량을 비교 분석하였으며 또한 햇빛의 일사량은 시간대별, 일별, 월별, 년별로 각각 달리 측정되므로 각각의 일사량에 따른 전력패턴을 분석하여 태양광 발전에 필요한 일사량과 전력과의 상관관계를 연구하였다.

The mass flow of water in the stem of melon measured by Sap Flow Gauge was compared with the actual flow calculated by the difference between supply and drainage nutrient water to investigate the possibility and accuracy of estimation of melon's transpiration in rockwool culture. The Sap Flow Gauge which was made with copper-constantan theromocouple and nichrome fiber by our research team, was attached to the 3rd node of melon. The outdoor temperature, room temperature, solar radiation and relative humidity were continually measured. The amount of supply and drainage nutrient water were simultaneously measured for calculation of practical consumption of nutrient water to compare with mass flow of sap. The measuring errors of Sap Flow Gauge were 0.3 to 31.8%, which were small at solar radiation of 20MJ.m$^{2}$.d$^{-1}$ . The mass flow of water was lower for the measured value by Sap Flow Gauge than the actual value at higher solar intensity, however it was higher at lower solar intensity The variation of error rate of each Sap Flow Gauge was 0.1 to 13.0%. The measuring error with Sap Flow Gauge was negatively related with solar intensity and temperature. Therefore, to measure more exactly the mass flow of sap for estimation of melon's transpiration, the compensation factor must be calculated.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of plant growth and production of tomato (Lycopersicon Esculentum Mill cv. Tefunis) according to the water content of non-recycled rockwool culture in high-rise tomato greenhouse. Daily irrigation amount was 3.8 times higher in the irrigation control by Integrated Solar Radiation (ISR) than in the Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) sensor. Water content of ISR and FDR was 90-95 and 60-65%, respectively. Plant height and weight of tomato fruit was 1.2-1.9 times longer and 1.2-2.0 times heavier in the ISR than in the FDR sensor, respectively. No significantly differed to sugar content of tomato by treatments. Marketable fruits were the higher 1.3 times in the ISR compared with the FDR sensor. Cracking percentage in the ISR was also the higher 2.0 times compared with FDR sensor. Therefore, Irrigation control by ISR was appropriate to improve of plant growth and production of tomato with non-recycled rockwool culture in greenhouse during long-term cultivation.

현재까지 계통연계형 태양광 시스템의 최대전력추종(MPPT)방법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 대표적인 최대 전력 추종 방법에는 일정전압 제어방식, P&O(Perturbation and Observation)제어방식, IncCond(Incremental Condutance) 제어 방식이 있다. 이 중 일정전압 제어방식은 일사량, 온도 등을 고려해 특정한 값의 태양전지 출력전압을 고정시키도록 하여, 최대전력점 근처에서 동작하도록 제어하는 방식이다. 이 방식은 태양전지 입력 전류 센서가 필요없고, 저일사량 조건에서 다른 기법에 비해 우수한 효율 특성을 나타내고 있다. 하지만, 온도 및 일사 조건에 따라 변하는 최대전력전압지점을 추종하지 못해 다양한 조건에서 최대전력추종효율이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 다양한 일사 조건 및 온도 조건에 대응하는 최대 출력전압을 실시간으로 산출하여, 이를 통해 최대전력추종제어를 하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 기법은 다양한 일사조건 및 온도변화에 대해 능동적으로 대응하여 우수한 추종효율 특성을 나타내고, 또한 입력 DC 전류 센서를 제거하고, 내부 연산이 간단함으로써 경제적인 면에서 유리하다. 본 논문에서 제안된 최대전력 추종기법의 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 PSIM 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 타당성을 검증 하였다.

Accuracy of daily solar radiation estimated from a Mountain Microclimate Simulation Model (MT-CLIM) was assessed for seven observation sites with complex topography in Uiseong County. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) between the observed and the estimated daily solar radiation was 0.52 for 7 sites for the study period from 1 August to 30 September 2009. Overall, the MT-CLIM overestimated the solar radiation with root mean square error (RMSE) of $3.83MJ\;m^{-2}$ which is about 25% of the mean daily solar radiation ($15.27MJ\;m^{-2}$) for the study period. Considering that the pyranometer's tolerance is ${\pm}5%$ of standard sensor, the RMSE of MT-CLIM was too large to accept for a direct application for agricultural sector. The reliability of solar radiation estimated by MT-CLIM must be improved by considering additional ways such as using a topography correction coefficient.

Global solar radiation was calculated in this research using ground-base measurement data, meteorological satellite data, and GWNU (Gangneung-Wonju National University) solar radiation model. We also analyzed the accuracy of the GWNU model by comparing the observed solar radiation according to the total cloud cover. Our research was based on the global solar radiation of the GWNU radiation site in 2012, observation data such as temperature and pressure, humidity, aerosol, total ozone amount data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) sensor, and Skyview data used for evaluation of cloud mask and total cloud cover. On a clear day when the total cloud cover was 0 tenth, the calculated global solar radiations using the GWNU model had a high correlation coefficient of 0.98 compared with the observed solar radiation, but root mean square error (RMSE) was relatively high, i.e., $36.62Wm^{-2}$. The Skyview equipment was unable to determine the meteorological condition such as thin clouds, mist, and haze. On a cloudy day, regression equations were used for the radiation model to correct the effect of clouds. The correlation coefficient was 0.92, but the RMSE was high, i.e., $99.50Wm^{-2}$. For more accurate analysis, additional analysis of various elements including shielding of the direct radiation component and cloud optical thickness is required. The results of this study can be useful in the area where the global solar radiation is not observed by calculating the global solar radiation per minute or time.

The reflectance observed in the visible channels of a geostationary meteorological satellite can be used to calculate the amount of cloud by comparing the reflectance with the observed solar radiation data at the ground. Using this, the solar radiation arriving at the surface can be estimated. This study used the Meteorological Imager (MI) reflectance observed at a wavelength of 675 nm and the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) reflectance observed at similar wavelengths of 660 and 680 nm. Cloudy days during a typhoon and sunny days with little cloud cover were compared using observation data from the geostationary satellite. Pixels that had more than 40% reflectance in the satellite images showed less than 0.3 of the cloud index and blocked more than 70% of the solar energy. Pixels that showed less than 15% reflectance showed more than 0.9 of the cloud index and let through more than 90% of the solar energy to the surface. The calculated daily accumulated solar radiation was compared with the observed daily accumulated solar radiation in 22 observatories of the Korean Meteorological Administration. The values calculated for the COMS and MTSAT MI sensors were smaller than the observation and showed low correlations of 0.94 and 0.93, respectively, which were smaller than the 0.96 correlation coefficient calculated for the GOCI sensor. The RMSEs of MTSAT, COMS MI and GOCI calculation results showed 2.21, 2.09, 2.02 MJ/$m^2$ in order. Comparison of the calculated daily accumulated results from the GOCI sensor with the observed data on the ground gave correlations and RMSEs for cloudy and sunny days of 0.96 and 0.86, and 1.82 MJ/$m^2$ and 2.27 MJ/$m^2$, respectively, indicating a slightly higher correlation for cloudy days. Compared to the meteorological imager, the geostationary ocean color imager in the COMS satellite has limited observation time and observation is not continuous. However, it has the advantage of providing high resolution so that it too can be useful for solar energy analysis.

Strawberry cultivation in Korea is grown in greenhouse, but most farms manage their water supply using a timer control method based on the experience of growers. The timer control has problems in that it is difficult to consider the weather condition, the growth stage of crops, and the moisture content of the substrate, so that the crops cannot be managed at an optimal level, and the accuracy of cultivation management are lacking. The watering methods using integrated solar irradiance and substrate moisture contents are control systems that provide eco-friendly and precise water supply considering the growth conditions of crops. The purpose of this study was to compare the combined water supply control with integrated solar irradiance and substrate moisture contents and timer control method in hydroponic cultivation of strawberries using coir, and to set the optimal integrated solar irradiance level for complex water supply control. The irrigation system was automatically watered when it reached 100, 150, 250 J·cm^-2 based on the external solar irradiance, and forced irrigation was performed at a substrate moisture content of less than 60% in all treatments. The amount of irrigation at once was 50 mL. The timer treatment was applied as a control. The smaller the level of integrated radiation to start watering, the greater the daily amount of irrigation. Both the fresh weight and dry weight per plant were higher in the complex irrigation control method than the timer control, and the 100 and 150 J·cm^-2 treatment had the highest fresh weight, and the 100 J·cm^-2 treatment showed a significantly higher dry weight. The yield was also significantly higher in the complex control method than in the timer, and the early yield increased as the level of integrated solar irradiance was smaller. The fresh weight of fruit was the lowest in the timer-controlled irrigation. As a result of this study, the possibility of combined control irrigation method using integrated solar irradiance and substrate moisture content was confirmed for precise water supply management of strawberries in hydroponics.
