ESS의 중요성은 네트워크 신뢰성 저하 및 재생 가능 에너지원의 확장으로 인한 전력 수요의 안정화로 인해 강조되었다. ESS (Energy Storage System)는 남은 전력을 저장하고 전력 수요를 충족시키기 위해 필요할 때 이를 사용하며 주로 태양 광 및 풍력과 연계하여 ESS 시스템을 구축한다. 본 논문에서는 낮은 일사량에 효과적인 Master-Slave 방법을 이용한 가정용 PV 충전 모듈을 제안한다. 모듈을 설계 한 후 고속 MPPT 알고리즘이 적용되어 PV 모듈의 비선형 출력 특성에서 최대 출력을 생성한다. PV 충전 모듈의 입력에 대한 평균 전력 값은 296.90 W, 출력 전력은 289.60 W로 평균 97.54 %의 전력변환 효율을 보인다.

In this paper, the power loss due to PV module mismatch in PV string is analyzed and a mismatch compensation method is proposed to improve the efficiency of PV system. The analysis of mismatch loss using PV model simulation reveals that the mismatch module may decrease the total efficiency because the MPPT function of power conditioner make the PV system operate at the local maximum point. The mismatch loss can be severe if the maximum power point current of mismatch module is less than that of string. The proposed compensation method which is simply implemented with a buck type converter shows the possibility to remove the mismatch loss. The effectiveness of the analysis and compensation method is verified by a prototype experiment.

태양광 발전시스템에서 태양광 모듈은 고압의 발전전압 형성을 위해 직렬로 구성한 스트링을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 직렬로 연결된 태양광 모듈 중 한 개의 모듈이라도 노후화가 발생하면 노후화가 발생한 스트링의 발전 효율이 감소하는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 태양광 스트링에서 노후화 모듈을 판정을 위해 순시 PV 특성곡선을 계측할 수 있는 토포로지를 제안하고 계측된 PV 특성곡선을 이용한 노후화 판정 알고리즘을 제안한다.

This study was conducted to improve the power of PV module using a surface cooling system One of the unique characteristics of PV module is power drop as a module surface temperature increases due to the characteristics of crystalline silicon used in a solar cell. To overcome the output power reduction by temperature effect, module surface cooling using water circulation was performed. By cooling effect, module surface temperature drops maximally $20.3^{\circ}C$ predicting more than 10% power enhancement. Maximum deviation of voltage and current between a control and cooled module differed by 5.1 V and O.9A respectively. The maximum power enhancement by cooling system was 12.4% compared with a control module. In addition, cooling system can wash the module surface by water circulation so that extra power up of PV module can be achieved by removing particles on the surface which interfere solar radiation on the cells. Cooling system, besides, can reduce the maintenance cost and prevent accidents as a safety precaution while cleaning works. This system can be applied to the existing photovoltaic power generation facilities without any difficulties as well.

본 논문에서는 태양광발전시스템의 발전 효율을 극대화하기 위한 태양전지 모듈의 배면온도를 낮출 수 있는 부유구조물의 최적화 설계에 대한 것이다. 저수지 수면은 태양에너지를 흡수하게 되면 물 온도의 상승으로 밀도저하가 발생되고 저수지의 수면이 최상층에 위치하여 지속적으로 태양에너지가 흡수는 경우 최상층의 수면온도가 $60^{\circ}C$ 이상 상승하게 된다. 이는 태양전지 모듈의 배면온도 상승을 주도하여 시스템 발전량의 감소원인으로 작용한다. 수상 태양광발전시스템의 효율 향상을 위해 태양전지 모듈의 온도 저하가 반드시 필요하고, 더불어 저수지 지리적 요건에 따른 바람의 영향 등을 고려한 태양광발전 부유구조물 최적 설계가 요구된다. 열전달 수치해석을 통해 태양광발전 구조물에 대한 최적설계, 태양전지 모듈의 온도 측정 및 성능 검증을 통해 태양광발전 구조물의 상하단의 높이의 최적 설계 조건을 확립하였다.

Techniques for mismatch loss minimization to increase the PV system efficiency are under development recently. In this paper, a method to make diagnosis of PV module mismatch is presented, which uses a concept of operating point factor. The method is based on the fact that the ratio of the incremental conductance of a PV module to instantaneous conductance is 1 when the module is operating at its maximum power point. The variations of module voltage and current are taking place by the maximum power point tracker in the power conditioning units of PV system. The effectiveness of the method is verified through an application to a real PV system.

The PV-Solarwall system has been introduced as a promising alternative to harness solar energy for both heating applications and electricity generation simultaneously. The system comprises a PV solar panel(for electricity generation). In addition, the solarwall incorporates a fan strategically located behind the PV panel to bring the warm and fresh air from the solarwall into the room. Because of its location and convective cooling principle, the fan also serves to reduce the operating temperature of the PV panel thereby increasing its efficiency. So this PV-Solarwall system holds much promise for saving heating and electricity costs compared with a PV system without solarwall. In particular, by controlling the tilt angle of the entire PV-Solarwall system between $0^{\circ}$(horizontal) and $90^{\circ}$(vertical), the performance of the system can be further evaluated. It is expected that the range of tilt angle PV-Solarwall between $40^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$ will improve the output of the system.

Recently, electric power usages and peak loads from buildings are increasing due to higher outdoor air temperatures and/or abnormal climate during the summer period. As one of the eco-friendly measures, a renewable energy system has been received much attention. Particularly, interest on a photovoltaic (PV) system using solar energy has been rapidly increasing in a building sector due to its broad applicability. In using the PV system, one of important factors is the PV efficiency. The normal PV efficiency is determined based on the STC(Standard Test Condition) and the NOCT(Nominal Operating Cell Temperature) performance test. However, the actual PV efficiency is affected by the temperature change at the module surface. Especially, higher module temperatures generally reduce the PV efficiency, and it leads to less power generation from the PV system. Therefore, the analysis of the relation between the module temperature and PV efficiency is required to evaluate the PV performance during the summer period. This study investigates existing algorithms for calculating module surface temperatures and analyzes resultant errors with the algorithms by comparing the measured module temperatures.

However, the broad PV module results to the serious mechanical damage corning from installation circumstances such as snow, wind etc of snow and finally lead to the dramatic degradation of the electrical behavior of PV module. In this paper, 3 kinds of PV modules that consist of the different thickness and area of front glass and the diverse cross sectional structures of the frame are prepared for this experiment. The drooped length and electrical outputs of the PV modules are measured by means of applying 600Pa mechanical load to the PV modules from 1200Pa to 5400Pa base on the mechanical load test procedure of K SC IEG 61215 standard. The simulation data are obtained by the simulation tool as ANSYS and those are validate by comparing with the those experimental results figure out relations between the deformation and the constituent part of PV module.
