This paper proposes active tracking algorithm to improve efficiency of PV system. Active tracking algorithm tracks sun position using sensor method and program method with insolation condition. Also, in this case that insolation is very low, tracking system is controlled by environment mode to reduce the power loss. Proposed algorithm is applied the PV system and analyzes the generation value. And this algorithm proves the validity of this pater through the experimental result.

It is important to find the maximum efficient conditions for the output of the photovoltaic(PV) system to determine the optimal installation location of the PV system. The output of PV system depends on the irradiance. Therefore, this paper introduces the pilot experiment set to track the output of PV system according to the variance of irradiance and analyzes the result of experiment using this set. The pilot experiment set consists of the PV modules and the inverter to convert DC power to AC power. For this experiment, the fixed and tracked modules are used.

A modular photovoltaic PCS with high-frequency isolation is proposed. The proposed system consists of a SEPIC converter and a full-bridge inverter Using the power slope versus voltage of the PV array, the MPPT controller is proposed that produces a smooth transition to the maximum power point. The dc current of the PV array is estimated without using a dc current sensor The disturbance of the line voltage is detected using a fast sensing technique. Experimental results obtained on a 500W prototype show high performance such as almost unity power factor, $90\%$ power efficiency, $3.6\%$ THD.

Orbit error analysis was performed for the GPS navigation solutions and ground station tracking data of the KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite), which will be launched in 1999 for cartography of Korean peninsula as main mission. A least square method was used for the orbit determination and prediction error simulation including tracking data noises and dynamic modeling errors. It was found that a short-term periodic orbit determination error was caused by the tracking data noise and dominant orbit prediction error was caused by solar flux uncertainty.

Recently, interest in renewable energy is increased due to exhaustion of fossil fuel and environmental pollution all over the world, therefore the solar power generation using solar energy is many researched. The solar power generation is required solar tracking control and high concentration solar thermal collector because generation performance is depended on concentrator efficiency. This paper proposes high efficiency solar power generation with two-axis tracking control using dish-type solar thermal collector that has excellent thermal collector performance and tracking algorithm that can be accurately tracked solar position. This paper proves validity through analysis with accuracy of tracking algorithm and generating efficiency.

위성의 실제 궤도를 실시간하에서 추정(real-time estimation)하기 위해 지구 비대칭 중력장, 지구 대기의 저항력,그리고, 태양과 달의 위성체에 대한 섭동의 영향을 받는 지구 근방의 위성을 동력학적 모델로 선택하였다. 위성 관측소에서 얻게될 가상의 위성 궤도 자료들은 실제 관측에서 나타날 수 있는 관측 잡음(measurement noise)뿐 아니라 추적소 고도 등의 불확실한 요소들을 포함한다. 또한 수치 모델에서 고려치 못한 섭적 난수에 의해 만들었다. 확장 칼만 필터(Extended Kalman Filter)의 특성을 알아 보기 위해 일차원에서의 자유낙하체에 대한 거리와 속도 추정의 모의 실험을 비교하였고, 뱃치추정 알고리즘, 순차 추정 알고리즘의 모의 실험이 거리변화율의 자료를 이용하여 확장 칼만 필터와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 확장 칼만 필터 알고리즘은 빠른 수렴 속도를 갖는 특성을 가지며, 실시간하에서 완전하지 못한 수치 모델로 실제 궤도를 결정하고 궤도 요소를 추정하는데 효과적임을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, a prototype of implementable Sun tracking algorithm for mobile systems powered by alternative energy is proposed. The proposed system uses 2-axis tilt sensor and 3-axis magnetic sensor to measure orientation and posture of the system according to the horizon coordinates system, which are used to compensate tilt effects. Then through astronomical calculation using the present time and position informations obtained from GPS sensors, the calculated azimuth and altitude of the Sun in that location. The position of the Sun is converted to that of the mobile Sun tracking system coordinates and used to control A-axis and C-axis of the system.

In this paper, we have fabricated the position detection system with LED and optical sensor to detect a position and trace of robot through visible light communication (VLC). The fabricated position detection system did not have been affected by sunlight in outdoor and a fluorescent light in building. Because 4 LEDs, respectively, transmitted different signals, we have known the position of robot. And we have also observed a trajectory of robot in real time.
