A flyback converter operates with either pulse width modulation (PWM) or pulse frequency modulation (PFM) control scheme depending on the load current. At light load condition, PFM control is employed to reduce the switching frequency and thereby minimize the switching power loss. For heavier load, PWM control is used to regulate the output voltage of the flyback converter. The flyback controller has been implemented in a $0.35{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process and applied to a 40-W flyback converter. The light-load power efficiency of the flyback converter is improved up to 5.7-% comparing with the one operating with a fixed switching frequency.

Light enhancement of GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been investigated by texturing the top p-GaN surface. Nano-textured LEDs have been fabricated using self-assembled Ni nano mask during dry etching process. Experimental results were further compared with simulation data. Three types of LEDs were fabricated: Conventional (planar LED), Surface nano-porous (porous LED) and Surface nano-cluster (cluster LED). Compared to planar LED there were about 100% and 54% enhancement of light output power for porous and cluster LED respectively at an injection current of 20 mA. Moreover, simulation result showed consistency with experimental result. The increased probability of light scattering at the nano-textured GaN-air interface is the major reason for increasing the light extraction efficiency.

Porous anodic alumina(PAA) which has arrays of nano size holes, was incorporated into organic light emitting devices. Porous anodic alumina on glass scattered the light generated from emitting layer and was decreased the waveguiding modes within the glass. An increase in the device coupling-out factor for the scattering structure is demonstrated.

For the high efficiency of the photovoltaic module, a high-output solar cell, which is the basis of photovoltaic power generation, is required. As the light receiving area of the solar cell increases, the light receiving area of the photovoltaic module also increases. Accordingly, recent trend is to use large-area solar cells such as M6 and M8 instead of M2-based solar cells for manufacturing the photovoltaic module and a study on the mechanical stiffness of the module with increased size is required. In this study, a mechanical load test corresponding to IEC-61215 was performed among the reliability tests of large-area photovoltaic modules. In order to confirm the degree to which the mechanical load test affects the photovoltaic module, the output and EL images were checked by sequentially increasing the pressure by 600 Pa at a pressure of 2400 Pa. Also, factors such as output and efficiency of large-area photovoltaic modules were verified through mechanical load testing of actual large-area photovoltaic modules and the rate of change was very small at 1%.

건재 일체형 태양광발전(BIPV) 응용을 위해 광 입사각에 따른 태양전지의 변환 효율은 중요하다. 양자효율은 태양전지의 파장별 전자 수집효율을 말하며, 입사각별 양자효율 측정으로 입사각에 따른 태양전지 출력 변화 요인을 분석할 수 있다. 이러한 입사각별 양자효율은 태양전지 종류에 따라 차이를 보인다. 본 연구에서는 가장 많이 쓰이는 벌크형 단결정 실리콘 태양전지와 박막형 비정질 실리콘 태양전지의 입사각별 양자효율을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 단결정 실리콘 태양전지에서는 광 입사각이 증가함에 따라 전 파장영역에서 양자효율이 감소했다. 반면, 비정질 박막 실리콘 태양전지에서는 단파장 영역에서는 결정질 실리콘과 동일하게 감소하였으나, 그 이후의 흡수 영역에서 약 $40^{\circ}$의 입사각까지 증가 또는 일정한 양자효율을 보이다가 이후에 급격히 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 이는 비정질 박막 실리콘 태양전지에서 입사각이 증가함에 따라 특정 파장 영역에서 산란과 박막 구조의 영향으로 예상된다. 따라서, 태양전지의 구조 및 광학 구조 최적화 등으로 BIPV 적용에 유리한 구조 태양전지 제작이 가능할 것으로 보인다.

An etch-less simple method was developed to fabricate two-dimensional nanostructures on glass substrate directly by using UV curable polymer resin and UV nanoimprint lithography in order to improve output coupling efficiency of OLEDs. OLEDs integrated on nanoimprinted substrates enhanced electro-luminance intensity by up to 50% compared with the conventional device.

LED has been great attentions in lighting industry because of its long life-time, high efficiency, excellent light output characteristics. However, the life-time of the LED driving system is decreased because of the electrolytic capacitor which is used in the power conversion system for driving LED lighting. Therefore the capacitance reduction methods have been studied to replace an electrolytic capacitor with film or tantalum capacitor. This paper presents the Single stage PFC flyback converter with the simplified third harmonic current injection circuit to reduce output capacitance and the proposed system is theoretically analyzed and verified through the experiment.

Recently, the demonstration and research on the power transmission using high voltage DC such as HVDC(High Voltage DC), Smart Grid, DC transmission and distribution have been actively conducted. In order to control the power converter in high-voltage DC power transmission system, SMPS(Switching Modulation Power Supply) for power converter control using high-voltage DC input is essential. However, the demand for high-pressure SMPS is still low, so the development is not enough. In the low-output SMPS using the high-voltage input, it is difficult to achieve high efficiency due to the switching transient loss especially at light load. In this paper, we propose a new switching scheme for high power SMPS control for low output power. The proposed method can provide better efficiency increase effect in the light load region compared to the existing PWM method. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method, a 40 W SMPS for HVDC MMC(Modulation Multi-level Converter) was designed and verified by simulation.

Double-sided photovoltaic (PV) modules have received significant attention in recent years as a technology that can achieve higher annual energy production rates than single-sided modules. The shingled technology is a promising method for manufacturing high-density and high-power modules. These modules are divided by laser and joined with electrically conductive adhesives. The output efficiency of the divided cells depends on the division pattern and the electrode pattern, making it important to understand the output characteristics. In this study, the output characteristics of large-area double-sided light-receiving shingled cells with different split patterns and electrode patterns were investigated. The M6 size, with 6 divisions in the electrode pattern, had the highest efficiency when using 142 front fingers and 146 rear fingers. The M10 size, with 7 divisions, had the highest output when using 150 fingers equally in the front and rear. The M12 size, also with 7 divisions, showed the highest output characteristics when using 192 front fingers and 208 rear fingers.

최근 디지털 광원으로서 각광받고 있는 고출력 LED(Light Emitting Diode)는 저소비전력과 장수명 그리고 점 소등 속도도 빨라서 고출력 LED의 효율을 향상시켜 일반 조명용으로 사용하려는 노력이 두드러지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 측에 사용하던 전해 콘덴서를 전압용량이 작고 수명이 긴 MLCC(Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor) 사용이 가능한 LED 구동 드라이브를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 LED 구동 드라이브는 기존의 부스트 DC/DC 컨버터의 기본 토폴로지에서 출력 콘덴서를 입력 전원과 직렬로 연결하여 LED 광원의 온도변화에 따른 전압 변동분만을 출력 콘덴서에 저장함으로서 출력 콘덴서로 기존수명이 낮은 전해 콘덴서 대신 전력 손실이 적고 수명이 긴 MLCC 사용이 가능하게 된다.
