This paper deals with stand-alone PV power generation system with charge and discharge controller for the LED road sign. Main power source of PV system are generally solar cell and battery. Therefore PV system can be classified into variable types in accordance with connection type between battery and solar sell. Mainly used on of them is direct connection type which has advantage such as simple structure and simple controller. To verify the proposed PV generation system for the LED road sign, the detail simulation and experiment results indicate that operating characteristics are verified by experiment with a laboratory prototype in this paper.

Fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) of photovoltaic (PV) power systems is one of significant techniques for reducing economic loss due to abnormality occurred in PV modules. This paper presents a new FDD method against PV power systems by using statistical comparison. This comparative approach includes deviation signals between the outputs of two neighboring PV modules. We first define a binary hypothesis testing under such deviation and make use of a generalized likelihood ratio testing (GLRT) theory to derive its FDD algorithm. Additionally, a recursive computational mechanism for our proposed FDD algorithm is presented for improving a computational effectiveness in practice. We carry out a real-time experiment to test reliability of the proposed FDD algorithm by utilizing a lab based PV test-bed system.

PV system's islanding occurs when the uitilty grid is removed but local sources continue to operate and provide power to local loads. Islanding is one of the serious problems in an electric power system connected with dispersed power sources. Also, this can present safety hazards and the possibility of damage to other electric equipments. If the real and reactive power of RLC load and PV system are closely matched, islanding detection by passive methods becomes difficult. This paper shows the simulation and comparision for the previous active methods and novel islanding detection method using frequency drift is proposed for grid-connected PV system.

The capability of unity-interactive type in PV generation system depends on its use. In a house, needs such a small capability, a single-phase output of PV can afford. But 3-phase output of PV is required in a case of big capabilities or a PV system directly interactive to 3-phase grid. To verify a validness of a large capable distributed-generation system supplied the proposed method, a 10kW inverter was realized in this paper. And from the results, the system is confirmed its stable operation and validness.

본 논문에서는 다양한 아치형 태양광발전(Photovoltaic : PV) 시스템을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 구성하고 그 운전특성을 최적의 경사각을 가지는 일정 경사각 PV 시스템과 비교 분석하였다. 결과 아치형 PV 시스템의 경우 모두 PV 어레이 경사각이 $30^{\circ}$인 일정 경사형 시스템에 비하여 9% 이상의 큰 차이가 남을 알 수 있었으며, 최적의 아치경사각은 $10^{\circ}\sim30^{\circ}$임을 알 수 있었다.

Maximum power point tracking method is very important to enhance efficiency of photovoltaic system. Meanwhile a lot of research about MPPT has been studied and developed new one better than a method of the past. This paper deals with Perturb and Observation that are most commonly used. Tracking parameter changed PV voltage for PV current and it was simulated with P-SIM program. The P&O tracking method to use current for parameter lows ripple rate of output and enhances response rate of tracking. Through this study, it has been demonstrated that method using current for tracking parameter is effective.

태양광 발전용 PCS(Power Conditioning System)의 성능을 평가를 위해 사용되는 PV Simulator는 전압제어방식 또는 전류제어방식으로 제어할 수 있다. 각각의 제어방식을 개별적으로 개방전압 운전점에서 단락전류 운전점까지 부하를 가변 하였을 때 서로 상반된 구간에서 불안정한 구간이 발생한 것을 실험을 통해 발견하였다. 이렇게 불안정한 제어 구간에서는 PV Simulator의 출력 전압과 전류가 심하게 바운싱되기 때문에 전 운전 범위에서 PCS의 성능평가를 하는데 제한이 있을 뿐만 아니라, 하드웨어에도 손상을 줄 수 있다. 본 논문은 전압제어방식과 전류제어방식이 각각 안정한 제어 구간에서 불안정한 제어 구간으로 이동되기 전에 히스테리시스 가변 구조로 제어함으로써 두 제어방식의 장점을 극대화 시킨 PV Simulator 제어기를 제안한다.

Wind power and photovoltaic(PV) generation systems are the fastest growing sources of renewable energy. The nonlinear devices, such as power electronic converter or inverter, of wind power and PV generation systems are the source of harmonics in power systems. The harmonic-related problems can have significant detrimental effects in the power system, such as capacitor heating, data communication interference, rotating equipment heating, transformer heating, relay misoperation and switchgear failure. There is a greater need for harmonic analysis that can properly maintain the power quality. By measuring harmonics of existing wind power and PV generation systems as harmonics modeling, the studies were made to see the harmonic impact of grid-connected wind power and PV generation systems.
