In this paper presents comparison of performance of flexible solar cells construction applied to curtain walls. The proposed paper compares power generation for curtain walls of various shapes using flexible PV. Through the comparison of performance, the power generation was compared by installing various types of flexible PV on the air layer of double windows. By comparing the measured power generation, it is possible to find an optimal flexible PV shape that can be applied to a curtain wall. Flexible PV installation was divided into diagonal, S and W shapes. As a result of comparison, the amount of power generation when there was no flexure of flexible PV was large. Also, as the angle with the light source increased, the power generation decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to study the structure which can fix the PV more than the flexible PV and to be able to direct the sun without distortion.

Considering that the output voltage and current of a single PV panel are limited in PV power generation, a PV array should be constructed by connecting several PV panels in series and parallel to meet the required voltage/power levels for power generation capacity. When a PV array is partially shaded, the maximum power generation depends on the configuration of a PV array and the presence or absence of blocking diodes. This study considers six PV array configurations and the presence or absence of blocking diodes. An optimum connection structure was proposed to maximize power generation in a partial shadow condition. Results were verified through simulation and an experiment.

In this paper presents the MPPT tracking algorithm using angle control of flexible PV in BIPV. The proposed algorithm is based on MPPT tracking algorithm for curtain wall using flexible PV. It is an algorithm to find optimal power generation condition by controlling the angle of flexible PV using the air layer of window. The angle of flexible PV tests the power generation by separating the center of flexible PV into the interior angle in the interior direction and the external angle in the center of flexible PV. When the angle of flexible PV was used as interior angle, the generation amount was increased by 15.79% and increased by 8.45% compared with the external angle. MPPT tracking is performed on the generation amount of the interior angle which has the most power after comparing the generation amount according to the bending shape of the flexible PV. This algorithm can be the most efficient method for the curtain wall using flexible PV because the bending pattern with the greatest amount of power generation may be different because the environment of the building applying the curtain wall is different.

This study aims to investigate advantages of complex installation of green roof and PV system in a public building, to analyze the impact of green roof on the efficiency of PV power generation, and to consider the correlation between green roof and PV power generation. When the temperature and power generation of the modules installed in the green roof and non-green roof of the public building were measured for 3 days, the average temperature of the green roof was 23.6 degrees, and it was 36.1 degrees in the non-green roof which increased by nearly 53%. Overall, the module temperature in the green roof was lower. On the other hand, in relation to the PV generation depending on temperature reduction during the same period, the mono-crystalline module and the poly-crystalline module in the green roof showed an increase in generation at nearly 222.2W and 341.6W, and the efficiency rose by 5.5% and 6.2%, respectively, compared to the modules in the non-green roof. Therefore, it is analyzed that green roof has a positive influence on PV power generation. Finally shows the efficiency of the installed on the Green Roof PV system (complex Installation) higher than on the concrete roof PV system. Thus, the complex PV systems as well as the usual benefits of green roofs will provide greater synergies.

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.

The transition to renewable energy, especially the expansion of photovoltaic (PV) generation, has become a global megatrend that can no longer be reserved. However, since the site for PV is limited, it is necessary to use the land efficiently. As an alternative, the concept of utility scale agricultural PV(UAPV) is a technology that continues farming in the lower part and installs PV in the upper part of farmland to efficiently use the land. Therefore, for UAPV, the growth of crops in the lower part and the optimal operation of PV in the upper part are important. In this, we analyze the characteristics of the upper PV generation system in the UAPV based on the empirical results under various conditions, and propose future research directions of the UAPV.

This paper presents a probabilistic power flow (PPF) analysis method for distribution network incorporating the randomness and correlation of photovoltaic (PV) generation. Based on the multivariate kernel density estimation theory, the probabilistic model of PV generation is proposed without any assumption of theoretical parametric distribution, which can accurately capture not only the randomness but also the correlation of PV resources at adjacent locations. The PPF method is developed by combining the proposed PV model and Monte Carlo technique to evaluate the influence of the randomness and correlation of PV generation on the performance of distribution networks. The historical power output data of three neighboring PV generators in Oregon, USA, and 34-bus/69-bus radial distribution networks are used to demonstrate the correctness, effectiveness, and application of the proposed PV model and PPF method.

Even PV power generation system can be treated to a harmonics source for the power distribution system, it is necessary that the function of AF system in grid connected PV power generation system.

So, the PV system combined the function of AF system can be usefully applied in power distribution system. Here, the control strategy of PV-AF system is introduced.

When analyzing economic feasibility for installing a PV generation plant at a certain location, the prediction of possible annual power production at the site using the target PV panels should be conducted on the basis of the local weather data provided by a local weather forecasting office. In addition, the prediction of PV generating power under certain weather conditions is useful for fault diagnosis and performance evaluation of PV generation plants during actual operation. This study analyzes PV cell characteristics according to a variety of weather conditions, including ambient temperature and irradiance level. From the analysis and simulation results, this work establishes a proper model that can predict the output characteristics of PV cells under changes in weather conditions.
