Pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) and FRP member manufactured by sheet molding compound (SMC) have superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Since FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the development of floating-type photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. In this paper, advanced floating PV generation system made of PFRP and SMC is designed. In the design, it includes tracking solar altitude by tilting photovoltaic arrays and tracking solar azimuth by spinning structures. Moreover, the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) are presented to confirm stability of entire structure under the external loads. Additionally, installation procedure and mooring systems in the Hap-Cheon Dam are discussed and the measurement of strain under the actual circumstances is conducted for assuring stability of actually installed structures. Finally, by comparison with allowable stress, appropriate safety of structure is confirmed to operate the system.

In solar industry the development of tracking PV power generation devices progresses favorably because of its efficiency, comparing with fixed PV power generation devices. Tracking PV power generation device are not only preserving the amount of solar radiation per unit area but also maximizing the efficiency of solar battery. Therefore accurate and low-priced solar position tracking devices are very important to improve the economical efficiency and lower invest price. This research is concerned with solar position algorithm with uncertainties equal to 1 minute($0.016^{\circ}$) using the mathmatics and astronomg. Proposed algorithm in this paper, lowers the implementation price and improves power generation efficiency. In view of the result so far achieved, maximum error has 30 secend($0.008^{\circ}$). And the solar cell generating system applied by this algorithm showed the gain of the fixed type contrast average 23W(about 18%).

This study aims to examine the effect of the combined application of green roof and PV system on the PV efficiency by measuring the temperature and performance of PV module in order to reduce the temperature on the roof using roof planting system and determine the potential of efficient increase in solar-light power generation. In the experimental methodology, either monocrystalline or polycrystalline PV module was installed in green roof or non-green roof, and then the surface temperature of PV was measured by TR-71U thermometer and again the performance, module body temperature, and conversion efficiency were measured by MP-160, TC selector MI-540, and PV selector MI-520, respectively. As a result, the average body temperature of monocrystalline module was lower by $6.5^{\circ}C$ in green roof than in non-green roof; that of polycrystalline module was lower by $8.8^{\circ}C$ in green roof than in non-green roof. In the difference of generation, the electricity generation of monocrystalline module in green roof was 46.13W, but that of polycrystalline module was 68.82 W, which indicated that the latter produced 22.69W more than the former.

Building Integrated PV(BIPV) is one of the best fascinating PV application technologies. To apply PV module in building, various factors should be reflected such as installation position, shading, temperature, and so on. Especially the installation condition should be considered, for the generation performance of PV module is changed or the generation loss is appeared according to installation position, method, and etc. This study investigates variation of electrical characteristics of a PV module according to the change of irradiance and temperature. From this experimental study, we confirmed that the irradiance, the temperature variation and the generation performance of a PV module were appeared differently according seasonal variation. Actually the PV module installed in building facade showed high-generation performance in winter.

This study aims to analyze characteristics of Cell surface temperature and generated power performance for improving PV(Photovoltaic) system condition according to the cell opening ratio of transparent crystal PV system at Spandrel of curtain-wall. For this purpose, alternatives were classified for eight different cases that opening ratio of transparent crystal PV system varied from 0% to 70%, which was used by simulation tool, EnergyPlus. As results, it turned out that increasing opening ratio of transparent crystal PV system led higher PV surface temperature, back-sheet type was thus the most advantageous for decreasing surface temperature, annual generating efficiency, and annual accumulated generating power. Consequently, blocking off air space from outside insolation can advantageously keep to be better condition for generated power performance.

As the cost of photovoltaic(PV) generation systems continues to decrease, utility interactive systems are becoming more economically viable. Furthermore, increases in consumer awareness correspond to a willingness to pay a premium price for clean electrical energy generated using renewable energy resources. Especially, PV generation systems, in particular, is undergoing a rapid expansion-showing an industrial growth of approximately 40$\%$ per year in the worldwide, as PV cell and systems technology improve new markets become increasingly accessible. This has resulted in an increased demand for the simulation scheme and operational technologies of utility interactive PV devices and systems. The simulation schemes that can be applied to the utility interactive PV generation systems readily and cheaply under various conditions considering the sort of solar cell, the capacity of systems and the converter system as well are strongly expected and emphasized among researchers. So far, authors have been introducing the simulation method of PV generation systems with several papers. In this paper, authors introduce the simulation way of PV generation systems using EMTP type simulators; EMTP/ATP, EMTDC/PSCAD, RTDS, with each examples. And, by connecting the voltage amplifier to the RTDS a novel simulation method which is extremely close to the real condition of PV generation system is also introduced.

The potential induced degradation (PID) phenomenon of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules has been often found in outdoor PV systems until recently since firstly reported in 2010. Many studies have been conducted about the mechanism and the preventive methods, but systematic diagnosis of the PID has not been applied on-site. This paper focuses on analysis of 5 categories and 10 PID diagnosis methods using the monitoring data, light current-voltage, dark current-voltage, infrared and electroluminescence. We expect to contribute to improvement of power generation through PID diagnosis and troubleshooting in PV plants.
