A modular photovoltaic PCS with high-frequency isolation is proposed. The proposed system consists of a SEPIC converter and a full-bridge inverter Using the power slope versus voltage of the PV array, the MPPT controller is proposed that produces a smooth transition to the maximum power point. The dc current of the PV array is estimated without using a dc current sensor The disturbance of the line voltage is detected using a fast sensing technique. Experimental results obtained on a 500W prototype show high performance such as almost unity power factor, $90\%$ power efficiency, $3.6\%$ THD.

To guarantee 20-25 years to the lifetime of the PV modules without failure, reliability test of the module is very important. Field-aged test of the outdoor environment is required. However, due to time constraints, accelerated testing is required to predict the lifetime of PV modules and find causes of failure. Failure is caused by many complex phenomena. In this study, we experimented two accelerated tests about corrosion and fatigue, respectively. First, temperature cycling test for fatigue were tested and Coffin-Manson equation was analyzed. Second, damp heat test for corrosion were tested and Eyring equation were analyzed. Finally, using two-mode failure model, we suggest a new lifetime model that analyze the phenomenon by combining two kinds of data.

In this paper, we examined 10 domestic samples of three different model using thermal, humidity freeze, thermal-endurance and damp heat test under IEC61215 photovoltaic module environmental endurance test condition. Three was almost no changes on power generation. Insulation resistance capacity was much higher than judgement standard but, showed unstable results depending on environmental test items. On external appearance test, there were two models which showed bubble, humidity penetration, seal melted frame phenomenon. From this results, the degree of aging under the external environment is a main cause that shortens photovoltaic module life time. So it is considered that the efforts for finding optimum condition of manufacturing process should be needed.

Solar cells are renewable energy source which is not only environmentally friendly but also economically viable. For that matter, thin film materials are in observed with great in terest by a number of sources throughout the nations. Among these, CdTe (Cadium telluride) and CIS (copper indium diselenide) are the latest commercial products that are gathering attention in the solar cells markets. However there are some downsides to this newly invention. Since the materials are embedded, in the occasion of damage, certain amount of module residue can be released to water or soil. This paper outlines the results of our outdoor leaching experiments on photovoltaic (PV) samples broken into small fragments and been observed for 1 year.

This paper presents the control mehtod of a photovoltaic(PV) hybrid generation with energy storage system(ESS). To stabilize power control between PV generation system with ESS and local load, the proposed control method performs grid-connected and islanding operations. Through the simulation results the theoretical analysis of proposed method is verified.

Among the PV-AC module topologies, the flyback inverter have been occupied the attention due to its simplicities on configuration and control. Proposed switching control method changes the mode of operation in DCM and BCM alternatively. It is expected that the high performances in efficiency and extension of input voltage range can be achieved by the conduction mode change. Proposed switching technique is validated by PSIM simulation.

It is well known that the efficiency of photovoltaic modules decreases with an increase of temperature. In this paper, both efficiency and maximum power(Pm) variation with temperature are investigated using numerical simulation. Various carrier transport mechanisms and several recombination parameters of all the cell materials are taken into account. The theoretical result are compared with the reference data and they are shown to agree quite well over a wide range of temperatures.

태양전지모듈에 물리적 하중이 가해지면 전면유리의 연신율에 따라 모듈이 휘어지게 되고 이에 따라 내부에 열 봉합되어 있는 태양전지에 미세한 균열이 발생한다. 이 균열이 태양전지모듈의 단락전류 및 개방전압의 출력을 떨어뜨리는데 이는 균열로 인한 저항성분의 증가로 인한 것이다. 모듈내의 특정한 셀에서 미세균열(Micro-crack)의 발생은 출력의 저하, 셀 출력 Mismatch로 인한 모듈 내의 Hot-Spot발생, 균열로 인한 저항성분으로서의 열 발생과 같은 전체 태양전지모듈의 내구성을 저하시키는 요소로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 결정질 태양전지 모듈의 출력에 영향을 미치는 요소 가운데 기계적 스트레스에 의한 미세균열(Micro-crack)이 전기적 출력에 미치는 영향에 대해 본 논문에서 알아보고자 한다.

PVT modules commonly can be defined as a combination of PV modules and thermal collectors. After absorbing sun light, electricity and hot water can be actually provided to users simultaneously, which dual outputs (electricity and hot water) have drawn academic interest and industrial activities. Additionally, heat exchange between solar cell and flowing water can enhance solar cell efficiency. Because of PVT modules effectiveness, new international markets and commercial products have made. Especially European, facilities and measurement methods are established to evaluate PVT module performance. However, there are no currently appropriate internationally and domestic standards and facilities to test PVT module performance Herein, to test PVT module performance, indoor thermal simulators and fundamental standard study are considered.
