This paper targets the development of micro-converter such as a power converter for photovoltaic module. In corresponding to the poor performance of centralized PV system under partial shading, the power converter for single PV module to maximize the energy harvest from PV module. The power converter is constantly tracking the maximum power point of photovoltaic system and increases energy output power. To minimize the quantity of devices and switchs, 320W solar micro-converter is developed using synchronous rectifier. From the basis of these results, through simulations and experiments were verified efficiency.

Photovoltaic (PV) has both intermittent and uncertainty in nature, so it is difficult to accurately predict. Thus anomaly detection technology is important to diagnose real time PV generation. This paper identifies a correlation between various parameters and classifies the PV data applying k-nearest neighbor and dynamic time warpping. Results for the two classifications showed that an outlier detection by a fault of some facilities, and a temporary power loss by partial shading and overall shading occurring during the short period. Based on 100kW plant data, machine learning analysis and test results verified actual outliers and candidates of outlier.

Recently, new generation systems using solar cells or fuel cells are under development. Particularly, it is expected that small scale, utility interactive, dispersed PV system will be widely diffused in the near future. The inverter used in coupling the PV array with utility lines is an important factor determining the overall performance of power generation systems. This paper presents the design and control method of the single-phase PV inverter system that is capable of compensating reactive power including harmonic distortions. It is shown that reactive power caused by rectifier load can be compensated by the proposed inverter system.

As part of the "Carbon free Island 2030" policy, the local government of Jeju Island is currently working to reduce carbon through renewable energy supply. However, renewable energy is difficult to predict due to intermittent characteristics. If the share of renewable energy increase, it is difficult to plan of supply of electricity to grid due to that characteristic of renewable. In this paper analyze the fluctuation rate and the capacity credit of wind power and PV to find out how much wind power and PV contribute to supply of electricity of power system in Jeju. As a result mean value of variation rate of wind power and PV is about 3%, 5% and capacity credit is about 10% and 2% respectively.

3kW grid connected PV(photovoltaic) systems have been constructed for evaluating and analyzing performance of PV system at FDTC(field demonstration test center) in Korea, PV systems installed in FDTC have been operating and monitored since November 2002. As climatic and irradiation conditions have been varied through long-term field test, data acquisition system has been constructed for measuring performance of PV system to observe the overall effect of environmental conditions on their operation characteristics. The performance of PV systems has been evaluated and analyzed for component perspective(PV array and power conditioning system) and global perspective(system efficiency, capacity factor, and electrical power energy) by field test. By the results, it is very important to develop optimal design technology of grid connected PV system.

This paper deals with the analysis of the customer voltage characteristic in distribution system interconnected with large scale PV system. There would be many power quality issues which are caused by reverse power flow of PV system interconnected with distribution system. In order to analyze the effect of PV system on the customer voltage, detailed modeling method of distribution system and modified modelling method of PV system are proposed using PSCAD/EMTDC in this paper. So far, less than dozens KW of PV system can be simulated with the existing modelling method. Therefore, a new modeling method which can simulate the large scale PV system is proposed by considering the relationship equation on the phase and voltage in the current control algorithm. From the simulation result of proposed modelling method, it is confirmed that an optimal operation method in distribution system is suggested by analyzing the effect of PV system on customer voltage.

The economic feasibility of a photovoltaic (PV) system is greatly influenced by the initial investment cost for system installation. Also, electricity generation by PV system is highly important. The profits competitiveness of PV system will be maximized through intelligent operation and maintenance (O&M). Here, we developed a microconverter which can maximize electricity generation from PV modules by tracking the maximum power point of PV modules, and help efficient O&M. Also, the microconverter mitigates current mismatch caused by shading, hence maximize power generation. The microconverters were installed PV modules and demonstrated through the field tests. Power outputs such as voltage, string current were measured with variuos weather environments and partial shadings. We found that PV modules with the microconvertors shows 12.05% higher power generation compared to the reference PV modules.

A stand-alone Photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the most important energy system for Mongolian nomadic herders. Basically, a stand-alone PV system uses two DC-DC converters. This makes the system costly, size bigger and difficult to move from one place to another place for the nomadic herders. A combined control algorithm for charging the battery using Stage of Charge (SOC) and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is proposed in this paper. The batteries are charged by the three stage method; bulk, absorption and float charge. In the bulk stage used the MPPT function in this study. The performance of the proposed control algorithm is evaluated in both steady and changing weather conditions. The results are obtained using PSIM software. The results obtained in this paper are useful in designing a stand-alone PV system in the rural life like Mongolian nomadic herders.
