Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques are used in photovoltaic systems to maximize the PV array output power by tracking continuously the maximum power point which depends on panels temperature and on irradiance conditions. This paper proposes a variable step size MPPT algorithm which can improve the MPPT speed and accuracy. Depending on insolation and temperature, the MPPT controller gives optimized step size. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified thorough PSIM simulation and experiments on a 50[W] prototype. The experimental results confirm that the PV power of the improved P&O method is higher than that of the traditional P&O method.

The government mandates gradually zero energy building and Photovoltaic power generation systems installed in buildings are emerging as the most realistic alternative to increase the independence rate of building energy. In this study, we propose a method to reduce the power consumption of households by increasing the PV capacity of balconies and applying the method used the charged electric power stored in batteries after sunset. In order to evaluate the electric power energy savings of the residential BESS, a balcony PV 1.2 kW and a battery pack 2 kWh were installed for 9 houses in 4 apartments in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do. The BESS is charged when the balcony PV is generated electric power, and when solar power generation is finished, it supplies power to the electric appliances connected to the load. As a result of installing the solar PV module 1.2 kW and 2 kWh class BESS for 3 households located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, the average electric power consumption saving rate was 40%. The reduction in electricity consumption in the case of zero generation surplus power by maximizing the utilization rate of BESS has been improved to about 53%. Therefore, in order to increase the self-sufficiency rate of electric energy in apartment houses, it is effective to increase the solar photovoltaic capacity of the balcony and apply the residential BESS. In the future, it is believed that the balcony PV and home BESS will play a key role in achieving mandatory zero-energy housing.

This paper proposes the power management technology for stand-alone PV system to extend installation environment and coverage. The proposed power management technology in this paper can protect battery safeness from overcharge/discharge with keeping the proper SOC(State of Charge) and extend using time of system through estimation of operating power. The proposed power management technology in this paper is applied to Infra-free Variable Message Sign. And performance of power management technology in this paper was verified using simulation scenario.

This paper reports the performance of a 150W PV-wave hybrid system with battery storage in buoy. This system was originally designed to meet a new hybrid ower system for buoy in Korea. In the case or lighted buoys and lighthouses, a light failure alarm system of wireless radio is attached so that light failures are immediately notified to the office. At lighthouse offshore fixed lights and light buoys where commercial electricity is not available, the power source depends on solar system and batteries. This power system has a various problems. Therefore energy derived from the sunshine, wind and waves has been used as the energy source lot aids to navigation. Recently a hybrid system of combining the solar, wind and the wave generator is a favorable system lot the ocean facilities like lighthouse and buoy. The hybrid system in this paper is intended for variable DC load like light, communication system in the buoy and includes a PV-wane generation system and battery. This is composed a high efficiency charging algorithm, switching converter and controller. This paper includes discussion on system reliability, power quality, and effects of hybrid system in the buoy. Simulation and experimental results show excellent performance.

In December 2017, the government announced plans to increase the current proportion of renewable energy from 7% to 20% by 2030 through a plan called the Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan. Therefore, the demand for installation of photovoltaic(PV), wind turbine(WT) and battery energy storage system(BESS) is expected to increase. In particular, the system combined with energy storage system(ESS) is expected to take up a large portion since PV and WT can receive high renewable energy certificates(REC) weights when combined with ESS. In this study, we calculate the optimal capacity of the power conditioning system(PCS) and the BESS by comparing the economical efficiency and maximize the efficiency of the PV-BESS system in which the PV and the BESS are connected. By analyzing the system marginal price(SMP) and REC, it maximize profits through application of REC weight 5.0 and optimal charge-discharge scheduling according to the SMP changes.

Due to the uncertainty of weather, it is difficult to construct an accurate forecasting model for daily PV power generation. It is very important work to know PV power in next day to manage power system. In this paper, correlation analysis between weather and power generation was carried out and daily PV power forecasting models based on Extreme Learning Machine(ELM) was presented. Performance of district ELM model was compared with single ELM model. The proposed method has been tested using actual data set measured in 2014.

It is important to find the maximum efficient conditions for the output of the photovoltaic(PV) system to determine the optimal installation location of the PV system. The output of PV system depends on the irradiance. Therefore, this paper introduces the pilot experiment set to track the output of PV system according to the variance of irradiance and analyzes the result of experiment using this set. The pilot experiment set consists of the PV modules and the inverter to convert DC power to AC power. For this experiment, the fixed and tracked modules are used.

본 논문은 새로운 태양광 에너지 변환 기술에 의한 연계형 단상 인버터 제어기술을 나타내었다. 최대전력 점 추적제어는 두 부스터 컨버터의 MOSFET 스위치 제어 발생회로에 기초하고 단상 인버터는 풀 브리지의 4개 IGBT 스위치에 의해 전류 추종제어 된다. PV 모듈의 발생전력 제어회로는 PV 모듈의 출력 전압, 전류 검출에 의해 최대전력 점 제어한다. 결국 PV 모듈 양단은 인버터 입력전압으로 낮은 리플 전압을 유지하고 출력은 증가한다. 제안한 태양광 인버터 시스템의 효과가 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 입증되었다.

2층 트레킹 방식을 적용한 PV 태양광 발전 유닛은 고정형에 비해 동일 면적의 패널로 140% 이상의 발전 출력을 얻을 수 있다는 것이 밝혀져 있다. 그러나 이 방식은 고정형 또는 1축 제어방식에 비해 트레킹 기구가 복잡하고 제어전력이 커서 소 출력 PV 유닛에 있어서는 상대적으로 불리하다. 본 논문에서는 소형 PV 발전유닛의 경제성을 개선하는 방법으로 복수개의 소 출력 PV 유닛을 묶어서 1개소의 중앙제어장치에서 간헐식으로 원격제어 함으로써 각 유닛의 트레킹 관련 기구를 간소화 시키는 동시에 제어전력을 경감 시킬 수 있음을 소개한다. 또한 대규모의 PV 발전 플랜트를 건설하기 어려운 환경에서 적합한 방식으로 활용할 수 있음을 소개한다.
