PV cell modeling is necessary both for software and hardware simulators in analyzing and testing the performance of PV generation systems. Unique I-V curve of a PV cell identifies its own characteristics by electrical equivalent model that is composed of diode constants ($I_o$, $v_t$), photo-generated current ($I_{ph}$), series resistance ($R_s$), and shunt resistance ($R_{sh}$). Photo-generated current can be easily estimated since it is proportional to irradiation level. However, other electrical parameters should be solved from the manufacturer's data sheet that is consisted with three remarkable operating points such as open circuit voltage ($V_{oc}$), short circuit current ($I_{sc}$), and maximum power voltage/current ($V_{MPP}/I_{MPP}$). This paper explains and analyzes mathematical process of a novel PV cell modeling algorithm that was proposed by the authors with the name of "K-algorithm".

Recently the grid-connected PV system is increased in the power system. According to this trend, protection coordination issues are becoming more important when the PV generation is connected to the power system. In this paper, we model the PV system using EMTP/ATPDRAW and analyze the impact of the PV generation for the fuse coordination.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 공정의 p-diff/n-well 다이오드만을 사용한 ISC(Integrated Solar Cell)를 이용하여 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어 기능을 갖는 온칩 빛에너지 하베스팅 시스템을 제안하였다. MPPT 제어는 PV(Photovoltaic) 셀의 개방전압과 MPP(Maximum Power Point) 전압간의 비례관계를 이용하여, 작은 pilot PV 셀로 하여금 main PV 셀의 MPP를 실시간 추적할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 모의실험 결과 설계된 회로는 MPPT 제어기능을 적용했을 때 부하가 큰 경우에도 MPP 근처의 전압을 부하에 공급함으로써 부하에 연결된 회로가 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안된 회로는 0.18um CMOS 공정으로 설계하였으며, main PV 셀과 pilot PV 셀의 면적은 각각 $8mm^2$와 $0.4mm^2$이다.

The purpose of this study for photovoltaic (PV) generation system is to keep the output power of photovoltaic cells maximized under any weather conditions. In a conventional MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control method, both voltage and current coming out from PV array have to be fedback. Thus, the system has a complex structure, and may fail to track MPP of PV array when unexpected weather conditions happen. This paper proposes a novel PV Output Senseless (POS) control method to solve the mentioned problem. The main advantage of this method is that the current flowing into load is the only one considerable factor. In case of a huge PV generation system, it can be operated much more safely than the conventional system. To verify this theory, results that compare and analyze the simulated data with experimental data under real weather condition of the manufactured PV generation system are shown in this paper. Authors vividly states that this theory uses constant resistors and variable resistors of DC-DC converter in PV system. Authors emphasize that it is a very useful method to maximize power from PV cells to load with only the feedback of load current. Authors also emphasize that this theory is applicable in case of the PCS in PV power generation system.

According to the advance that solar power plants go into the desert, power plants are getting greater capacity. The desert is unspoiled resources and it is well suited to build a solar power plant, because of abundant solar radiation and long sunshine duration. but existing PV modules have several weaknesses and don't generate lower the rated power, because it wasn't designed to produce in extreme environments like a desert climate. The one of the weaknesses of PV modules is that the characteristics of the temperature of the Encapsulants(EVA sheet) are not good in a desert climate, because the EVA sheet is melt at high temperature. In this study, a decrease phenomenon of the transmittance depending on the melting point of the Encapsulant(PV module using EVA sheet : $75^{\circ}C$ PV module using PVB film : $110^{\circ}C$) is suggested, it would be the one of the important factors to achieve rated output of the PV modules in high temperature climate regions.

After lamination process, Isc is increased by sheet reflection. This paper presents the electrical output characteristics by back sheet reflection. The experiments was conducted by using single crystalline and multi crystalline PV module. The reflection area of single crystalline PV module is larger than multi one due to the difference of solar cell manufacturing. The experiments show that the increased performance ratio of single crystalline PV module output power is 1.55% rather than that of multi crystalline PV module output power is 1.13%. In addition, it is expected that the output power of single one rather than multi-one is increased by the lower temperature when the PV module is installed outside. The results can be reconsidered by the test material and test process. Back sheet used for humidity prevention makes PV module output power increasing.

Design and implementation of a low cost grid-connected 5kVA solar photovoltaic (PV) system is proposed in this paper. Since the inverter is a major component of the PV system, the B4 inverter used in this paper reduces the total cost of the PV system. In order to eliminate the massive transformer, the PV system is connected to the grid through IGBT switches. In addition to injection of active power into the grid, the B4 inverter can compensate reactive power and reduce harmonics of the nonlinear loads. A TMS320F28335 DSP processor is used for effective control of the B4 inverter. Various features of this processor enable the implementation of the necessary control algorithms. As a first step, the PV system is simulated and evaluated in Matlab/Simulink. In the second step, hardware circuits are designed and implemented based on the simulation results. The operation of the PV system has been evaluated under balanced, unbalanced, linear and nonlinear loads which proves its accuracy and efficiency.

최근 태양광 발전량 예측은 태양광 발전량 설비 시스템의 안정적인 작동을 위한 조정 계획, 설비 규격 결정 및 생산 계획 일정을 수립하기 위해 필수적인 요소로 고려된다. 특히, 대부분의 태양광 발전량은 피크시간에 측정되기 때문에, 태양광 시스템 운영자의 이익 최대화와 전력 계통량 안정화를 위해 피크시간의 태양광 발전량 예측은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 또한, 기존 연구들은 광범위한 지역에서 예측된 불확실한 기후 정보들을 이용하여 태양광 발전량을 예측하는 한계점 때문에 일사량, 운량, 온도 등과 기상정보 없이 피크시간의 태양광 발전량을 예측하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제로 고려된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 피크이전의 기후, 계절 및 관측된 태양광 발전량을 이용하여 미래의 기후 및 계절 정보 없이 피크시간의 태양광 발전량을 예측할 수 있는 LSTM(Long-Shot Term Memory) 기반의 태양광 발전량 예측 기법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델을 기반으로 실 데이터를 통한 실험 결과, 단기 및 장기적 관점에서 높은 성능을 보였으며, 이는 본 연구에서 목표로 한 피크시간의 태양광 발전량 예측 성능 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 나타내었음을 보여준다.

With the rapid development of clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) generation has been utilized in the harmonic compensation of power systems. This paper presents a novel multi-function PV micro-inverter with three stages (pseudo-two-stage). It can inject active power and compensate harmonic currents in the power grid at the same time. In order to keep the micro-inverter working under the maximum allowable output power, an optimized capacity limitation strategy is presented. Moreover, the harmonic compensation can be adjusted according to the customized requirements of power quality. Additionally, a phase shedding strategy in the DC/DC stage is introduced to improve the efficiency of parallel Boost converters in a wide range. Compared with existing capacity limitation methods, the proposed strategy shows better performance and energy efficiency. Simulations and experiments verify the feasibility of the micro-inverter and the effectiveness of the strategy.
