In this paper the operational characteristics of stand-alone microgrid was analyzed using RTDS simulation models. The accuracy of developed simulation models were verified by comparing with the analysis results using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation models. The proper scenarios and operation algorithms were developed and analyzed in accordance with various situations that can occur in the actual system, so as to establish operation scheme for the stand-alone microgrid system. The developed simulation models can be effectively utilized to design a newly installed stand-alone microgrid and to develop various operation scenarios for stand-alone microgrid. And these models can be applied for analyzing the transient phenomena due to system fault so that system protection can be properly designed.

This paper presents the new maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of the photovoltaic(PV) module integrated converter(MIC) system considering the shadow influence. The output characteristics of the solar cell is a nonlinear and affected by a temperature, the solar radiation and influence of a shadow. Particularly, MIC system is very sensitive to the shadow influence because the capacity is very small. In order to increase an output and efficiency of the solar power generation, the maximum power point(MPP) obeying control are necessary. Conventional perturbation and observation(PO) and Incremental conductance(IC) are the method finding MPP by the continued self-excitation vibration. The MPPT control is unable to be performed by rapid output change affected by the shadow. To solve this problem, the new control algorithm of the multi-level in which the step value changes by output change is presented. In case there are the solar radiation, a temperature and shadow influence, the presented algorithm treats and compares the conventional control algorithm and output error. In addition, the validity of the algorithm is proved. through the output error response characteristics.

In this paper, we analyzed the structural design and electrical characteristics of a 3.3 kV super junction FS IGBT as a next generation power device. The device parameters were extracted by design and process simulation. To obtain optimal breakdown voltage, we researched the breakdown characteristics. Initially, we confirmed that the breakdown voltage decreased as trench depth increased. We analyzed the breakdown voltage according to p pillar dose. As a result of the experiment, we confirmed that the breakdown voltage increased as p pillar dose increased. To obtain more than 3.3 kV, the p pillar dose was $5{\times}10^{13}cm^{-2}$, and the epi layer resistance was $140{\Omega}$. We extracted design and process parameters considering the on state voltage drop.

In this paper, we analyze the electrical characteristics of PV depending on distance among solar cells before and after lamination process. From the result, the PV module's maximum power increases about 3.37% when solar cells's distance is 10mm. And the maximum power increases up to 8.42% when solar cells's maximum distance is 50mm. It is assumed that PV module's surface temperature decreases because of increasing distance between solar cells that would give high power generation. Also, short distance between solar cell and frame result in contamination on glass. When considering reduced maximum power caused by contaminant, from that, we can fabricated PV module of lower cost with high performance.

To survive in outdoor environments, photovoltaic modules rely on packaging materials to provide requisite durability. We analyzed the properties of encapsulant materials that are important for photovoltaic module packaging. Recently, the thickness of solar cell gets thinner to reduce the quantity of silicon. And the reduced thickness make it easy to be broken while PV module fabrication process. Solar cell's micro cracks are increasing the breakage risk over the whole value chain from the wafer to the finished module, because the wafer or cell is exposed to tensile stress during handling and processing. This phenomenon might make PV module's maximum power and durability down. So, when using thin solar cell for PV module fabrication, it is needed to optimize the material and fabrication condition which is quite different from normal thick solar cell process. Normally, gel-content of EVA sheet should be higher than 80% so PV module has long term durability. But high gel-content characteristic might cause micro-crack on solar cell. In this experiment, we fabricated several specimen by varying curing temperature and time condition. And from the gel-content measurement, we figure the best fabrication condition. Also we examine the crack generation phenomenon during experiment.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is being spotlighted as a next-generation power semiconductor material owing to the characteristic limitations of the existing silicon materials. SiC has a wider band gap, higher breakdown voltage, higher thermal conductivity, and higher saturation electron mobility than those of Si. When using this material to implement Schottky barrier diode (SBD) devices, SBD-state operation loss and switching loss can be greatly reduced as compared to that of traditional Si. However, actual SiC SBDs exhibit a lower dielectric breakdown voltage than the theoretical breakdown voltage that causes the electric field concentration, a phenomenon that occurs on the edge of the contact surface as in conventional power semiconductor devices. Therefore in order to obtain a high breakdown voltage, it is necessary to distribute the electric field concentration using the edge termination structure. In this paper, we designed an edge termination structure using a field plate structure through oxide etch angle control, and optimized the structure to obtain a high breakdown voltage. We designed the edge termination structure for a 650 V breakdown voltage using Sentaurus Workbench provided by IDEC. We conducted field plate experiments. under the following conditions: $15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $75^{\circ}$. The experimental results indicated that the oxide etch angle was $45^{\circ}$ when the breakdown voltage characteristics of the SiC SBD were optimized and a breakdown voltage of 681 V was obtained.

태양광 발전시스템의 설치 용량이 증가함에 따라 시스템 효율을 개선하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 고성능 시스템의 설계 및 시험을 위해서는 태양전지의 모델링을 바탕으로 태양전지의 물리적 특성에 관해 정확히 이해하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 태양전지의 모델은 다수의 파라미터가 얽힌 비선형 형태이며, 모델식의 파라미터 값을 얻기 위한 기존의 방식에서는 오차를 동반하는 실제와 다른 가정을 전제로 하므로 결과적으로 추출된 파라미터의 정확도가 저하되게 되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 제조사가 표준상태에서 측정하여 공개하는 태양전지의 I-V 커브로부터 다이오드의 이상계수와 역포화 전류를 구하고 이로부터 저항 성분이 없는 이상적인 태양전지의 I-V 커브를 도출한 뒤, 실측된 I-V 커브와 차이를 최소화하는 직·병렬 저항값을 추출하는 새로운 방식을 제안한다. 기존의 방식과 제안된 방식의 모델링을 통하여 얻은 파라미터를 이용해 구현한 I-V 커브와 실측 I-V 커브와의 상관관계를 최소자승법을 통해 계산함으로써 제안된 방법의 유용함을 증명하였다.

최근 친 환경 발전에 관한 관심이 높아지면서 태양광, 풍력, 조력, 조류 발전에 대한 수요가 점차 증가되고 있다. 이러한 친 환경 발전 방식 중 조석운동에 의한 해수의 흐름을 이용하는 조류발전은 지형적 특성에 의해 강한 조류가 발생하는 지역에서만 사용할 수 있는 특수한 발전 방식이다. 울돌목 해역은 조류 발전이 가능한 매우 강한 조류가 형성되는 지역으로 다른 지역의 해역과 구분되는 특별한 환경을 제공한다. 하지만, 해양에서의 인간의 활동은 수중소음을 야기하여 해양환경에 큰 영향을 미친다. 최근에는 환경영향평가의 중요성이 대두되면서 발전소 가동 시의 소음 특성 분석 및 전파양상 예측에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 조류발전소의 수중소음 특성을 측정하고 울돌목 해역으로의 전파양상을 모델링 하였다.

In the newly developed control method, the current flowing into SPE cell is the only one considerable factor. So, the structure of control circuit becomes simple and the manufacturing cost of the control device decreases. In conventional power comparison MPPT control method however, a voltage and current coming out from PV cell should be feedbacked to chase maximum power point at every moment. Then, the structure of control circuit becomes so complex and the risk of control failure is much higher than the novel MPPT control method. Therefore, PV generation system by a novel MPPT control method is especially operated much more safely in case of a huge system, because the voltage coming out from PV-cell is not needed to be feedbacked. In this paper, the PV-SPR system was actually manufactured based on the simulation model of PSCAD/EMTDC program and the results tested were shown. Authors are sure that it is the most useful method to maximize power from PV to SPE with only a feedback of SPE input current.
