본 논문에서는 국내 기술을 활용하여 Sunbelt 지역에 설치된 50kW급 PV 실증 단지에서의 태양광발전을 대상으로 경제성을 분석하였으며, VLS-PV로의 성공적인 확장 가능성을 발견하였다. 이를 바탕으로 2008년부터 2017년까지의 10년 동안 연간 10MW급의 단계적 시스템설치를 통한 최종 100MW급의 VLS-PV 개발을 가정하여 경제성 분석을 수행하였다. 이 과정에서 과거 누적 PV 설비용량과 PV 시스템 가격사이의 관계를 경험곡선을 활용하여 분석하였으며, 이에 기초하여 2017년까지의 PV 모듈 및 PV시스템의 가격을 예상하였다. 현재 실증 단계에서의 발전단가는 567.2원/kWh으로 나타나 국내 태양광발전보다 낮은 발전단가를 보였으며, 가격 하락 효과를 적용한 100MW급의 VLS-PV 시스템 개발시에는 최종 305.4원/kWh이 될 것으로 전망되었다. 향후 기술혁신에 따른 모듈의 효율향상과 시스템 수명의 증가는 경제성을 더욱 향상시킬 것이며, 환경적인 이점 및 정책적인 효과까지 고려할 경우 향후 20년 이내에 기존의 발전원과 비교하여 충분한 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

본 논문에서는 입력 단 센서를 제거한 태양광 AC 모듈 인터리브드 플라이백 인버터의 최대 전력점 추종 및 전류 평형 제어 기법을 제안한다. 기존 제어 방식들의 수행을 위해서는 입력 전압 $V_{pv}$, 입력 전류 $I_{pv}$ 센서와 각 상 스위치 단의 전류 센서들이 필요하나 4개의 센서와 주변 회로는 AC 모듈의 사이즈, 부피 및 가격을 증가시킨다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방식은 각 상의 전류 센서만을 사용하여 최대 전력점 추종 및 전류 평형 제어를 동시에 수행한다. 제안한 시스템의 타당성을 이론적 분석과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증한다.

This paper analyses the economics of 50kW PV system installed in Tibet and using domestic technology. We show that this system can be expanded to very large-scale photovoltaic power generation [VLS-PV] system successfully. Based on this result, we conduct the economic analysis of 100MW VLS-PV system designed assuming that it will be installed from 2008 to 2017 in Tibet. In this analysis, future price of PV module and system are estimated based on the methodology of experience curve. In 50kW PV system, the generation cost is calculated at 567.2 won/kWh and this is lower than the one of domestic PV system. In future 100MW VLS-PV system. the generation cost is calculated at 305.4 won/kWh by declining system price. If the lifetime and efficiency of the system goes up, due to future technological improvements, the generation cost can be lowered. Moreover, under the environmental and political effect, VLS-PV system can be as competitive as the conventional energy within 20 years.

Europe and North America are paying attention to residential ESS(Energy Storage System) that can manage energy efficiently. The ESS is a system that stores and manages the electric power by charging and discharging the battery. The ESS is generally used in conjunction with photovoltaic systems. The ESS supplies the load of the power generation time and stores the remaining PV power to supply the load at the non-power generation time. However, due to the high price of residential ESS, low electric rates and increasing block rates, there is no market of residential ESS in Korea. This paper reviews the price condition and the capacity for applying PV and residential ESS to household of apartments using HOMER in Korea.

Photovoltaic (PV) modules are environmentally energy conversion devices to generate electricity via photovoltaic effect of semiconductors from solar energy. One of key elements in PV modules is "Backsheet," a multilayered barrier film, which determines their lifetime and energy conversion efficiency. The representative Backsheet is composed of chemically resistant poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF) and cheap poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films used as core and skin materials, respectively. PVF film is too expensive to satisfy the market requirements to Backsheet materials with production cost as low as possible. The promising alternatives to PVF-based Backsheet are hydrocarbon Backsheets employing semi-crystalline PET films instead of PVF film. It is, however, necessary to provide improved barrier property to water vapor to the PET films, since PET films are suffering from hydrolytic decomposition. In this study, a polyurethane adhesive with reduced water vapor permeation behavior is developed via a homogeneous distribution of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles. The modified adhesive is expected to retard the hydrolysis of PET films located in the core and inner skin. To clarify the efficacy of the proposed concept, the mechanical properties and electrochemical PV performances of the Backsheet are compared with those of a Backsheet employing the polyurethane adhesive without the silica nanoparticles, after the exposure under standard temperature and humidity conditions.

Solar powered aircraft are becoming more and more interesting for future long endurance missions at hight altitudes, because they could provide surveillance, earth monitoring, telecommunications, etc. without any atmospheric pollution and hopefully in the near future with competitive costs compared with satellites. However, traditional aircraft sizing methods currently employed in the conceptual design phase are not immediately applicable to solar powered aircraft. Hence, energy balance and constraint analyses were performed to determine how various power system components effect the sizing of a solar powered long endurance aircraft. The primary power system components considered in this study were photovoltaic (PV) modules for power generation and regenerative fuel cells for energy storage. To verify current research results, these new sizing methods were applied to HALE aircraft and results were presented.
