Interest in renewable energy is rapidly growing around the world. One of the most popular renewable energy sources is solar power, and photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most representative route for generating solar energy. However, with the growing adoption of solar power systems, the demand for land on which to install these systems has increased, which has caused environmental degradation. Recently, floating PV systems have been designed to utilize idle water surface areas of dams, rivers, and oceans. Because floating PV systems will be exposed to harsh environmental stresses, the safety of such systems should be secured before installation. In this study, the structural robustness of a floating PV system was analyzed by conducting numerical simulation to investigate whether the system can withstand harsh environmental stresses, such as wind and wave loads. Additionally, conventional wind and wave load predictions based on the design method and the simulation results were compared. The comparison revealed that the design method overestimated wind and wave loads. The total drag of the PV system was significantly overestimated by the conventional design criteria, which would increase the cost of the mooring system. The simulation offers additional advantages in terms of identifying the robustness of the floating PV system because it considers real-world environmental factors.

본 연구에서는 단지형 건물 군 내 여러 건물의 옥상에 설치된 태양광 패널의 연간 발전량 분석을 통해 설치 여건에 따른 발전 효율의 차이와 원인을 확인하고자 하였다. 즉, 일정한 지역에 입지한 다수의 태양광 발전 실적에 대한 사후 평가를 통하여 효율에 영향을 끼는 환경적 변수를 도출하고 이들의 상대적인 영향력을 파악하고자 하였다. 기존의 연구는 개별적 영향 요인의 최적화 방안을 실험 환경에서 도출한 연구가 주를 이루고 있으며 실제 운영 성과물을 대상으로 한 실증적인 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구의 결과, 같은 지역에 설치되어 있더라도 환경적 요인에 의하여 최대 1.5배의 발전 효율을 보이고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 변환 효율에 영향을 주는 변수인 방위각, 앙각, 음영에 대해서 통계적 검정을 실시한 결과 모든 요인이 종속변수인 변환효율에 영향을 주는 변수임을 통계적으로 확인하였다. 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인은 방위각이며, 다음으로 앙각과 음영이 발전효율에 영향을 끼치는 요인으로 밝혀졌다. 본 연구를 통해 태양광 발전 설비의 도입이 꾸준히 증가하고 있는 여건에서 실제 설치된 환경적 요인이 변환 효율에 영향을 주는 정도를 실증적으로 확인하여 향후 도입되는 태양광 발전 설비의 설치 가이드라인을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Diesel fuel is expensive because transportation to remote areas adds extra cost, and it causes air pollution by engine exhaust. Providing a feasible economical and environmental solution to diesel generators is important. A hybrid system of renewable plants and diesel generators can benefit islands or other isolated communities and increase fuel savings. Renewable energy is, however, a natural source that produces a fluctuating power output. In this paper, hybrid power system of the marado lighthouse is proposed to supply stable power in the stand-alone hybrid power system. The proposed hybrid power system consists of the diesel generator, wind turbine, photovoltaic, fuel cell, and battery bank. To decrease the carbon emissions and find the optimization, the cost analysis of hybrid system is simulated using HOMER program and the optimized hybrid power system is designed.

Several PV-diesel hybrid systems were built in isolated islands in Korea, where they are far from the inland to be supplied the electric power to a utility level from it. A lot of efforts has been concentrated to find a cost-effective electric supply system with higher reliability and minimum maintenance when compared with a diesel generator. For this purpose, an autonomous PV-diesel hybrid system with multi-channel remote monitoring system was investigated to supply electric power under minimum operating cost and maintenance in a small isolated island. In this report, the economic analysis was performed for comparison with photovoltaic system and diesel generator by computer simulation. And it was proven that a PV system is more cost-effective than an internal combustion engine for the remote island with less than 150 households. Especially, in the case of islands with less than 50 households, the initial construction cost of the PV system is comparable to and its operating cost is about 70% less than the diesel generator.

Charge transport dynamics in ZnO based inverted organic solar cell (IOSC) has been characterized with transient photocurrent spectroscopy and localised photocurrent mapping-atomic force microscopy. The value of maximum exciton generation rate was found to vary from $2.6{\times}10^{27}m^{-3}s^{-1}$ ($J_{sat}=79.7A\;m^{-2}$) to $2.9{\times}10^{27}m^{-3}s^{-1}$ ($J_{sat}=90.8A\;m^{-2}$) for devices with power conversion efficiency ranging from 2.03 to 2.51%. These results suggest that nanorods served as an excellent electron transporting layer that provides efficient charge transport and enhances IOSC device performance. The photovoltaic performance of OSCs with various growth times of ZnO nanorods have been analysed for a comparison between AM1.5G spectrum and local solar spectrum. The simulated PCE of all devices operating under local spectrum exhibited extensive improvement with the gain of 13.3-3.7% in which the ZnO nanorods grown at 15 min possess the highest PCE under local solar with the value of 2.82%.

This study was conducted to estimate the relative performance of modules with changed characteristics due to long term exposure to the outdoor environment, with a specially made test device for simultaneous measurement of real time power output from the photovoltaic array, taking into account the inclined panel, direct irradiation, power being generated, temperature as well as the optimal analysis timing. In terminology description, M is an abbreviation of module and Group A, Group B are 10 modules series connection (1~10 of M), (11~20 of M) for each of them respectively. The overall mean voltage difference of M-18 with the lowest power output and M-14 with the highest output is-2.13V and it was identifiable that voltage difference was more concentrated to Group B. In addition, in case of M-2 and M-7, M-8, when compared with M-14, the overall mean voltage difference was -0.92V, -1.56 and -0.91V respectively showing the more concentration to Group A. When the temperature of module went up by $1^{\circ}C$, the mean voltage was reduced by 0.35V. For current, Group A was lower than Group B by-0.022A and the ratio of each group was 49.68% and 50.32% respectively, presumably the module with deteriorated properties were more concentrated to Group A relatively. From the comparison of relations with the comprehensive accumulation, M-2, M-7, M-8, M-16 and M-18 were those with deterioration of performance to the worst, thereby requiring precision examination. In comparative efficiency, M-14 was the most excellent one as 12.19% while M-18 as 10.53% was identified that its efficiency was comparatively rapidly reduced.

본 연구는 온실 운영에 필요한 전력량을 확보함으로서 온실경영비 절감을 목적으로 우선 태양광발전시스템을 온실의 인접한 건물의 옥상에 설치하여 기상상태에 따른 발전량을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 실험기간 동안 최고, 평균 및 최저온도는 각각 $0.4{\sim}34.1,\;-6.1{\sim}22.2$ 및 $-14.1{\sim}16.7^{\circ}C$ 정도의 범위에 있었다. 그리고 일사량의 경우, 최대, 평균 및 최저값은 각각 $28.8MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$, $14.9MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 및 $0.6MJ{\cdot}m^{-2}$ 정도였고, 전력은 일사량에 비례해서 증가하지 않고 약 750W 전후에서 거의 일정한 것을 알 수 있었다. 일일 최대, 평균 및 최소 소비전력량은 각각 약 5.2kWh, 2.5kWh및 0kWh정도였다. 본 실험에 사용된 시스템의 평균 소비전력량을 기준으로 보면, 온풍기의 용량 및 작동시간이 작은 경우는 충분하지만 큰 경우는 부족한 것으로 나타났다. 온풍기의 용량이 큰 경우, 어레이 면적이 현재의 약 3배인 약 $21m^2$ 정도이면 평균 전력량으로 충분할 것으로 판단되었다. 물론 어레이의 온도가 높아지는 한 여름철에는 일사량에 비례해서 발생 전력이 증가하지 않은 것으로 나타났지만, 현재까지 실험결과로 보면, 두 인자간에 상관계수가 0.84 정도로 상관관계가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we applied the low temperature curing Ag paste to replace PVD System. The electrode formation of low temperature curing Ag paste for silicon Hetero-junction solar cells is important for improving device characteristics such as adhesion, contact resistance, fill factor and conversion efficiency. The low temperature curing Ag paste is composed various additives such as solvent, various organic materials, polymer, and binder. it depends on the curing temperature conditions. The adhesion of the low temperature curing Ag paste was decided by scratch test. The specific contact resistance was measured using the transmission line method. All of the Ag electrodes were experimented at various curing temperatures within the temperature range of $160^{\circ}C-240^{\circ}C$, at $20^{\circ}C$ intervals. The curing time was also changed by varying the conditions of 10-50min. In the optimum curing temperature $200^{\circ}C$ and for 20 min, the measured contact resistance is $19.61m{\Omega}cm^2$. Over temperature $240^{\circ}C$, confirmed bad contact characteristic. We obtained photovoltaic parameter of the industrial size such as Fill Factor (FF), current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc) and convert efficiency of up to 76.2%, 38.1 mA/cm2, 646 mV and 18.3%, respectively.
