태양광 에너지는 인류의 미래 에너지로서 이미 그 효용성을 전 세계에 드러내고 있다. 각 나라마다 자국의 에너지 전략 및 일조량등 환경적 여건 또는 경제적 수준에 따라 다양한 에너지 수급의 양태를 띠고 있지만 향 후 한세대 내에 전세계 에너지의 30% 정도를 태양에너지로 공급받게 될 것으로 기대하고 있다. 이러한 추세 속에서 태양광 에너지의 방식도 여건에 따라 다양한 형태들이 상호 경쟁과 보완의 과정을 거치며 꾸준히 연구 개발되어오고 있다. 집광형 태양전지는 그 중에서 광전변환효율의 관점에서 41%라는 경이적인 기록을 가지고 있으며 매년 평균 1% 씩의 발전을 꾸준히 달성해 오고 있다. 특히 화합물반도체 태양전지의 경우 1900년대 후반부터 인공위성등의 에너지 모듈로 독자적인 시장을 형성하고 있었지만 경제성등의 이유로 지상 에너지의 대안으로 고려되지 못하고 있었으나 집광시 효율이 높아지는 특이현상과 다중접합을 통한 태양에너지 스펙트럼의 흡수영역 확대등을 통하여 총체적인 효율이 30%를 넘어서면서부터 서서히 대전력 에너지원으로 주목을 받기 시작하였다. 이러한 기술적 경쟁력에도 불구하고 전세계 태양전지 시장의 대부분은 단결정 실리콘 태양전지가 차지하고 있으며 박막형 태양전지 혹은 유기태양전지등 차세대 태양전지 또한 기존의 단결정 실리콘 태양전지를 기준으로 상대적인 가격경쟁력을 높이므로서 기존시장을 잠식하거나 신규시장을 통하여 점유율을 높이는 전략을 고려하고 있다. 본 세미나를 통하여 현재 화합물반도체 집광형 태양전지 시장을 살펴보고 시장 진입의 걸림돌에 대한 분석과 향 후 동향에 대하여 논의하도록 한다.

The 2nd Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI-II) is the successor to the Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI), which employs one near-ultraviolet wavelength (380 nm) and eight visible wavelengths(412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 620, 660, 680 nm) and three near-infrared wavelengths(709, 745, 865 nm) to observe the marine environment in Northeast Asia, including the Korean Peninsula. However, the multispectral radiance image observed at satellite altitude includes both the water-leaving radiance and the atmospheric path radiance. Therefore, the atmospheric correction process to estimate the water-leaving radiance without the path radiance is essential for analyzing the ocean environment. This manuscript describes the GOCI-II standard atmospheric correction algorithm and its initial phase validation. The GOCI-II atmospheric correction method is theoretically based on the previous GOCI atmospheric correction, then partially improved for turbid water with the GOCI-II's two additional bands, i.e., 620 and 709 nm. The match-up showed an acceptable result, with the mean absolute percentage errors are fall within 5% in blue bands. It is supposed that part of the deviation over case-II waters arose from a lack of near-infrared vicarious calibration. We expect the GOCI-II atmospheric correction algorithm to be improved and updated regularly to the GOCI-II data processing system through continuous calibration and validation activities.

We have developed a multi-channel fiber laser for tiled laser beam combining and a laser output array system for multi-beam alignment. The fiber laser is a master oscillator power amplifier configuration that has a common seed, a preamplifier, and a 7-channel amplifier. The output power of each channel is more than 10 W. The laser output array system is a packed cylindrical configuration for a high fill-factor, and it has capabilities for collimation and tilt control with built-in PZT. Multi-beam alignment to a target is successfully implemented using PZT controlled with a stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm.

Photovoltaic generation which has unlimited energy sources are very intermittent because they depend on the weather. Therefore, it is necessary to get accurate generation prediction with reducing the uncertainty of photovoltaic generation and improvement of the economics. The Meteorological Agency predicts weather factors for three days, but doesn't predict the sunshine and solar radiation that are most correlated with the prediction of photovoltaic generation. In this study, we predict sunshine and solar radiation using weather, precipitation, wind direction, wind speed, humidity, and cloudiness which is forecasted for three days at Meteorological Agency. The photovoltaic generation forecasting model is proposed by using predicted solar radiation and sunshine. As a result, the proposed model showed better results in the error rate indexes such as MAE, RMSE, and MAPE than the model that predicts photovoltaic generation without radiation and sunshine. In addition, DNN showed a lower error rate index than using SVM, which is a type of machine learning.

This study is a case analysis for user interface(UI) design of spectrophotometer which is widely used in the field of chemistry, biology and environment, based on user experience(UX). Generally, experimental equipment developments are centered on functionality and technology, and the interface for interaction between the user and the machine is developed only by the engineers who do not have much consideration for the users. From this background, this study tried to find out how UX could melt into UI so that a kind of spectrophotometers can be designed to help the work process of researchers in the real context by examining and analyzing the real users' experiences and also considering the developer's perspective. As a result, it was possible to improve UI and was found that redefinition of the goal of UI, time-efficiency, security, and sufficient information delivery are essential to the design of user interface for spectrophotometers.

Aid-to-Navigation facility is important for maritime traffic safety. In Korea, for safe maritime traffic, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is using an Aid-to-Navigation management system. The current Aid-to-Navigation management system displays information based on text, making it difficult to determine the impact if Aid-to-Navigation fails or an accident occurs. A simulator can be used to verify the placement of Aid-to-Navigation. However, real-time information is not applied and maintenance of the simulator is expensive. Additionally, the Aid-to-Navigation simulator cannot simulate effects of port backlighting. To improve these issues, we proposed an Aid-to-Navigation management platform based on digital twin technology. This system can predict failures by analyzing real-time sensor data collected from navigation signs. We plan to develop a function that can simulate Aid-to-Navigation placement. Aid-to-Navigation is expected to be managed efficiently by applying digital twin technology.

This study estimates the value of photovoltaic core material technology, which is getting attention as a clean energy source. The estimation is based on the real option pricing model (ROPM). This study has two main contributions. The first is in the methodology. The process of modeling volatility, which is the most complicated stage in ROPM, is greatly simplified by using the stock price as a covariate representing the volatility of the real option's basic asset. The second contribution is the application of technology. In this study, the economic value of poly-silicon, a core material in the photovoltaic industry and recently surging in demand, is evaluated as a manufacturing technology. In a case study of a company in the photovoltaic industry, the stochastic process of a basic asset follows geometric Brownian motion (GBM), and the option value of firm A's poly-silicon manufacturing technology is estimated at 3.4 trillion won.

Agrivoltaic systems, also called solar sharing, stated from an idea that utilizes sunlight above the light saturation point of crops for power generation using solar panels. The agrivoltaic systems are expected to reduce the incident solar radiation, the consequent surface cooling effect, and evapotranspiration, and bring additional income to farms through solar power generation by combining crops with solar photovoltaics. In this study, to evaluate if agrivoltaic systems are suitable for viticulture, we investigated the microclimatic change, the growth of vines and the characteristics of grape grown under solar panels set by planting lines compared with ones in open vineyards. There was high reduction of wind speed during over-wintering season, and low soil temperature under solar panel compared to those in the open field. There was not significant difference in total carbohydrates and bud burst in bearing mother branches between plots. Despite high content of chlorophyll in vines grown under panels, there is no significant difference in shoot growth of vines, berry weight, cluster weight, total soluble solid content and acidity of berries, and anthocyanin content of berry skins in harvested grapes in vineyards under panels and open vineyards. It was observed that harvesting season was delayed by 7-10 days due to late skin coloration in grapes grown in vineyards under panels compared to ones grown in open vineyards. The results from this study would be used as data required in development of viticulture system under panel in the future and further study for evaluating the influence of agrivoltaic system on production of crops including grapes.
