The output power of photovoltaic(PV) generation system is strongly affected by weather conditions. To make up for the defect of solar energy, energy storages such as battery and electrolyzer are usually integrated with photovoltaic cell. This paper focuses on the way to store energy surplus with battery and electrolyzer and to provide energy with battery. Photovoltaic generation system is modeled with PV cell, DC/DC converter, DC/AC inverter, battery and electrolyzer. The operation algorithm to regulate PV output power with battery and electrolyzer is suggested. The simulation results show that battery and electrolyzer effectively cooperate with each other to compensate the fluctuation of PV generation system.

In recent years, there is an increasing demand for DC microgrid because the digital load due to DC increases and the efficiency of the distribution system increases due to loss of conversion losses and conversion stages due to reactive power compared to AC distribution. Currently, with the support of the KEPRI, the development of an electronic large-capacity circuit breaker for DC distribution protection, which has been underway since 2016, is proceeding. In this paper, as a part of this project, we modeled the DC microgrid connected with PV using PSCAD. The converter station, AC/DC converter control, PV and MPPT controller are designed. In order to evaluate the performance of the modeled DC microgrid, it is examined whether the voltage is adjusted according to the load variation.

A photovoltaic (PV) generator is significantly regarded as one important alternative of renewable energy systems recently. Fault detection and diagnosis of engineering dynamic systems is a fundamental issue to timely prevent unexpected damages in industry fields. This paper presents an intelligent monitoring approach and fault detection technique for PV generator systems by means of artificial neural network and statistical signal detection theory. We devise a multi-Fourier neural network model for representing dynamics of PV systems and apply a general likelihood ratio test (GLRT) approach for investigating our decision making algorithm in fault detection and diagnosis. We make use of a test-bed of ubiquitous sensor network (USN) based PV monitoring systems for testing our proposed fault detection methodology. Lastly, a real-time experiment is accomplished for demonstrating its reliability and practicability.

The remote monitoring system of this paper is a program for monitoring the temperature, voltage, and solar irradiance that made from photovoltaic(PV) system in remote area. And this monitoring system helps to check the efficiency and situation of PV system. The main subject of this paper is about making the more useful monitoring program to get and save the data from PV system. This program is monitoring the PV system by using the LabVIEW program.

The paper presents a method of assessing the adequate tapaclty of photovoltaic generation systems for public buildings based on analysis of load variation patterns of customers. When PV systems are installed for supplying power for the customer load, reverse power relay is required by the guideline to be installed at the point of common coupling with the power network. The suggested method analyzes daily, weekly and monthly load demand of the customer that Irishes PV system installation, and determines the appropriate rating of the PV system for preventing PV generation from exceeding the customer demand. This work is expected to support renewable energy dissemination projects of public organizations.

We discussed various cover glass substrates available for photovoltaic (PV) modules, and investigated the fabrication methods of light trapping structures for the efficiency enhancement of PV modules: wet and dry etching or laser and direct patternings. We also introduced the analysis of haze at etched glass surfaces as a function of wavelength and also presented a anti-reflection coating technology for PV module.

In PV power generation system study, huge system apparatuses are needed in order to verify the effect of system efficiency and stability considering the size of solar panels, the sort of converter types, and the load conditions and so on. And also, under the same weather and load conditions it is impossible to compare a certain MPPT control scheme to others. In this paper, in order to obtain effective solutions for the above mentioned topics, the solar cell array is simulated with it's VI characteristic equations, and the real field data of weather conditions is interfaced to EMTDC using Fortran program interface method. Consequently the simulation of PV power generation system using field data is realized in this paper, and acceptable results, which show close match between the real data of PV panel and the simulated data, were obtained.

In order to improve the system utility efficiency of energy conversion, it is desirable to operate the PV system at maximum power point of solar cell under versable condition. This paper describes the experimental results of the PV system that contains a solar modules and DC-DC converter(boost type chopper). The Simulation results show that the PV system always operate at maximum power point of solar cells having stabilize output voltage waveform with relatively small ripple component.
