PV(Photovoltaic)는 일사량 및 온도에 의해 얻을 수 있는 최대 전력이 변화하고, PV의 전압에 따라 출력 전력이 변화한다. 따라서 PV를 이용한 인버터는 최대 전력점에서 동작하게 하는 최대 전력점 추정(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 인버터 제어에 필요한 여러가지 MPPT 기능 실험이 가능하게 하는 저가형 태양전지 시뮬레이터 시스템의 제어알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 PV의 출력특성에 따른 출력값을 설정하고, 다양한 출력특성 변화의 실시간 변화가 가능하게 하는 새로운 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 PV가 설치되지 않은 곳에서 인버터의 MPPT 성능 시험이 가능하며, 실제 인버터에 구현된 P&O-MPPT와 연동하여 제안된 제어기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, the operating characteristics of a 3 kW class grid-interactive photovoltaic(PV) power system was analysed from January 1998 to December 2000. The construction of the PV system includes a DC/AC inverter for grid connection, PV module, and data Monitoring & Acquisition system. The major results of the field test of the 3 kW class grid-interactive PV system showed that the system utilization rate was 13.83% the conversion efficiency of the inverter was 88% at an over half load, and the PV system generated the electricity more then 300 kWh per month.

A current compensation method to reduce the mismatch loss in PV systems is proposed as a way to increase the power generation efficiency. A dc-dc converter is used to supply currents to irregular modules in a PV string and is powered from the string output. The converter's voltage conversion ratio is adjusted so that all the modules in the string are operated at the maximum power point. The power rating and size of the converter can be reduced since only the current difference between the regular and irregular module may be supplied. The compensated string shows very little voltage mismatch compared to other regular strings. The validity of the proposed method is verified through a simulation and experiments in a prototype PV system.

기존의 태양광 시스템은 대체로 고정된 형태로 사용되었지만 태양광 시스템의 응용분야가 확장됨에 따라 전기자동차, 웨어러블 기기 등의 이동식 태양광 시스템 또한 많이 개발되고 있다. 이동식 태양광 시스템의 경우 불균일한 태양빛에 많이 노출되며, 이러한 불균일한 태양빛은 극심한 시스템 효율 저하를 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 시스템 효율 저하 문제를 해결하기 위해 differential power processing (DPP) 컨버터를 병렬로 적용한 photovoltaic (PV) 충전 가방을 제시하였다. DPP 컨버터는 PV 충전 가방이 불균일한 태양빛에 노출되어도, 각각의 태양전지가 고유의 최대 전력점에서 작동하도록 제어하는 역할을 한다. PV 충전 가방은 4개의 태양전지로 구성되어 있으며 충분한 태양빛 아래, 5 W의 출력전력을 가질 수 있다. PV 충전 가방은 하나의 front-end 컨버터와 4개의 DPP 컨버로 구성되었으며, P-SIM 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 front-end 컨버터와 DPP 컨버터의 정상 작동을 입증하였다. 또한 동일한 태양빛에 노출된 경우, 기존의 연결 방법 중 하나인 병렬 배열은 1.49 W의 출력 전력을 가진 반면, DPP 시스템은 4.35 W의 출력 전력을 가져 약 3배 높은 출력 전력을 확인하였다.

This paper provides the up to date review of the shading effects on PV module performance and the associated detection algorithm related to the maximum power point tracking. It includes the brief explanations of the MMP variations due to the shading occurrence on the PV modules. Review of experimental and simulation studies highlighting the significant impacts of shading on PV efficiencies were presented. The literature indicates that even the partial shading of a single cell can greatly drop the entire module voltage and power efficiency. The MMP tracking approaches were also reviewed in this study. Both conventional and advanced soft computing methods such as ANN, FLC and EA were described for the proper tracking of MMP under shaded conditions. This paper would be the basic source and the comprehensive information associated with the shading effects and relevant MPP tracking technique.

Islanding of PV systems occurs when the utility 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 phenomena can't be detected by the passive methods. Several active methods were proposed to detect islanding phenomena. The most effective method is SFS method which was suggested by Sandia National Laboratory. In this paper, a new anti-islanding algorithm is proposed and its validity is verified through simulation and experimental results for utility interconnection of PV system.
