Conventional methodologies (empirical, analytical, numerical, hybrid, etc.) for sizing photovoltaic (PV) systems cannot be used when the relevant meteorological data are not available. To overcome this situation, modern methods based on artificial intelligence techniques have been developed for sizing the PV systems. In the present study, the optimum PV/inverter sizing ratio for grid-connected PV systems with orientation due south and inclination angles of $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ in selected Algerian locations was determined in terms of total system output using type-2 fuzzy logic. Because measured data for the locations chosen were not available, a year of synthetic hourly meteorological data for each location generated by the PVSYST software was used in the simulation.

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.

In Floating PV (Photovoltaic) systems, PV modules are installed on water by utilizing the surface of idle water such as a reservoir and multipurpose dam. A floating PV system, therefore, has the advantage of efficiency in national land use and improved energy yield owing to cooling effect compared to on-land PV systems. Owing to the limitation of installation environment for a floating PV system, the system, however, has the disadvantage of an increase in transmission distance of DC (Direct current) cables. A longer transmission distance of a DC cable results in greater power loss due to a voltage drop. This leads to a decline in economic feasibility for the floating PV system. In this paper, the economic analysis for 10 floating PV systems installed in a reservoir has been conducted in terms of a change in annual power sales according to the variation of transmission losses depending on the factors affecting the voltage drop, such as transmission distance, cross-section area of underwater cable, the presence of joint box, and PV capacity.

The objects of PV (Photovoltaic) monitoring system is to reduce the loss of system and operation and maintenance costs. In case of PV plants with configured of centralized inverter type, only 1 PV module might be caused a large loss in the PV plant. For this reason, the monitoring technology of PV module-level that find out the location of the fault module and reduce the system losses is interested. In this paper, a fault diagnosis algorithm are proposed using thermal and electrical characteristics of PV modules under failure. In addition, the monitoring system applied with proposed algorithm was constructed. The wireless sensor using LoRa chip was designed to be able to connect with IoT device in the future. The characteristics of PV module by shading is not failure but it is treated as a temporary failure. In the monitoring system, it is possible to diagnose whether or not failure of bypass diode inside the junction box. The fault diagnosis algorithm are developed on considering a situation such as communication error of wireless sensor and empirical performance evaluation are currently conducting.

스마트 그리드(smart grid) 기술은 전력 공급자와 소비자 사이를 실시간으로 전력정보를 교환함으로써 전력의 효율성을 높이는 전력망 관리 기술이다. 최근에는 유지보수 및 설치가 용이한 태양광 발전시스템에 대한 적용이 늘고 있다. 그러나 태양광 발전 시스템은 고장진단이 어려우며, PV(PhotoVoltaics) 어레이 및 인버터(inverter) 등의 결함과 기타 잠재적인 출력저하 요소로 인하여 발전량이 감소하기도 한다. 이처럼 태양광 발전 시스템을 통하여 안정적인 에너지 포집과 관리 및 조속한 고장 검출이 필수 요구사항이라 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 발전 시스템을 대상으로 전력 생산량 및 이상 동작 현상을 모니터링하고 외부 환경을 계측하는 계측모듈을 개발하고, 계측된 정보 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 통신모듈을 통하여 원격지에서 태양광 발전 시스템의 동작 상태를 모니터링 하도록 설계하였다. 또한 스마트폰을 기반으로 구축된 태양광 발전 시스템을 실시간으로 관리하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 모바일 관리 시스템을 제시하고자 한다.
