Global environmental concerns and the ever increasing need of energy, coupled with steady progress in renewable energy technologies, are opening up new opportunities for utilization of renewable energy resources. Distributed electricity generation is a suitable option for sustainable development thanks to the load management benefits and the opportunity to provide electricity to remote areas. Solar energy being easy to harness, non-polluting and never ending is one of the best renewable energy sources for electricity generation in present and future time. Due to the random and intermittent nature of solar source, PV plants require the adoption of an energy storage and management system to compensate fluctuations and to meet the energy demand during night hours. This paper presents an efficient, economic and technical model for the design of a MPPT based grid connected PV with battery storage and management system. This system satisfies the energy demand through the PV based battery energy storage system. The aim is to present PV-BES system design and management strategy to maximize the system performance and economic profitability. PV-BES (photovoltaic based battery energy storage) system is operated in different modes to verify the system feasibility. In case of excess energy (mode 1), Li-ion batteries are charged using CC-CV mechanism effectively controlled by fuzzy logic based PID control system whereas during the time of insufficient power from PV system (mode 2), batteries are used as backup to compensate the power shortage at load and likewise other modes for different scenarios. This operational mode change in PV-BES system is implemented by State flow chart technique based on SOC, DC bus voltages and solar Irradiance. Performance of the proposed PV-BES system is verified by some simulations study. Simulation results showed that proposed system can overcome the disturbance of external environmental changes, and controls the energy flow in efficient and economical way.

The price competitiveness of photovoltaic system (PV system) has risen recently due to the growth of industries, however, it is rarely applied to the greenhouse compared to other renewable energy. In order to evaluate the application of PV system in the greenhouse, power generation and optimal installation area of PV panels should be analyzed. For this purpose, the prediction of the heating and cooling loads of the greenhouse is necessary at first. Therefore, periodic and maximum energy loads of a multi-span greenhouse were estimated using Building Energy Simulation(BES) and optimal installation area of PV panels was derived in this study. 5 parameter equivalent circuit model was applied to analyzed power generation of PV system under different installation angle and the optimal installation condition of the PV system was derived. As a result of the energy simulation, the average cooling load and heating load of the greenhouse were 627,516MJ and 1,652,050MJ respectively when the ventilation rate was $60AE{\cdot}hr^{-1}$. The highest electric power production of the PV system was generated when the installation angle was set to $30^{\circ}$. Also, adjustable PV system produced about 6% more electric power than the fixed PV system. Optimal installation area of the PV panels was derived with consideration of the estimated energy loads. As a result, optimal installation area of PV panels for fixed PV system and adjustable PV system were $521m^2$ and $494m^2$ respectively.

2012년 Renewable Portfolio Standard(RPS) 제도가 시행된 이래, 태양광 및 풍력 등의 신재생 전원에 대한 대규모 투자가 이루어져 왔고, 최근에 정부는 배터리 에너지 저장시스템(Battery Energy Storage System, BESS)의 신재생설비 연계설치에 대한 정책을 도입하여 신재생설비가 전원으로서의 역할이 가능하게끔 유도하고 있다. 정책입안자 입장에서 변화하는 전력산업 환경을 수급관점에서 고려하기 위해서는 개별 정책효과 분석을 단순화하는 방법론을 필요로 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 초기단계로 시작한 태양광발전 연계형 배터리시스템 정책 분석을 위해 국내 태양광 발전 실적을 바탕으로 태양광 발전량 분포를 일간이용률 지속곡선 형태로 제안하였고, 이를 바탕으로 최적 BESS 용량을 산출하는 방식을 통해 분석의 용이성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문의 방식을 통해 System Marginal Price(SMP) 및 REC 변화에 따른 BESS의 적정용량 범위를 간단히 파악할 수 있으며, 신재생정책 입안자 입장에서 정책효과를 가늠할 수 있도록 하는 도구로 이용할 수 있다. 현행 연계형 BESS 지원정책은 투자유인 제공이 부분적으로 가능하나, 설치 시점의 SMP 및 REC 가격에 영향을 받게 된다는 한계가 있다. REC 가격 상승과 감소에 따라서 시기별 최적용량이 바뀌어 설치비율이 계속 달라질 수 있어 정책변화에 의해 기술의 적용이 달라지는 결과를 가져온다. 따라서, 향후 제도개선을 모색할 경우에는 연계형 BESS 가치평가시, 신재생전원과의 BESS의 발전량 분할로 인해 발생하는 정책지원에 대한 기술 의존성을 해결할 수 있는 방안을 고려하는 연구개발이 필요하다.

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 a new output voltage control scheme based on the SoC variation of the battery energy storage system (BESS) applicable for the stand-alone DC microgrid. The proposed control scheme provides relatively lower variation of the DC grid voltage than the conventional droop method. The performance of proposed control scheme was verified through computer simulations for a typical stand-alone DC microgrid which consists of BESS, photo-voltaic (PV) panel, engine generator (EG), and DC load. A scaled hardware prototype for the stand-alone DC microgrid with DSP controller was set up in the lab, and the proposed control algorithm was installed in the DSP controller. The test results were compared with the simulation results for performance verification and actual system implementation.

In remote islands PV (Photo Voltaic) panel with BESS (Battery Energy Storage System) supplies electric power to the customers in parallel operation with EG (Engine Generator) to save fuel consumption and to mitigate environmental load. BESS operates in voltage control mode when it supplies power to the load alone, while it operates in current control mode when it supplies power to the load in parallel with EG. This paper proposes a smooth mode change scheme from current control to voltage control of BESS by adding proper initial value to the integral part of voltage control, and a smooth mode change scheme from voltage control to current control by tracking the EG output voltage to the BESS output voltage using PLL (Phase-Locked Loop). The feasibility of proposed schemes was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the feasibility of actual hardware system was verified by experiments with scaled prototype. It was confirmed that the proposed schemes offer a seamless operation in the stand-alone power system in remote islands.

태양광전원이 연계된 배전계통에서 발생되는 과전압문제를 해소하기 위하여, 계통에서 발생하는 전압변동에 대응하여 전압을 일정하게 유지시킬 수 있는 선로 전압 조정장치(Step Voltage Regulator)의 도입이 제안되고 있다. 일반적으로 SVR은 전압조정 방법에 의하여 Tap위치를 결정한 후, 일정시간이 지나면 Tap이 동작하도록 운용된다. 하지만 지연시간(30sec) 이후에 Tap을 동작시키는 SVR의 특성에 의하여, 이 시간동안 수용가전압은 규정치를 벗어날 가능성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배전계통의 상용소프트웨어인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 LDC방법에 의한 SVR의 전압조정 모델링과, 양방향으로 유무효전력을 제어할 수 있는 전지전력저장장치(Battery Energy Storage System)의 모델링을 제안하였다. 또한 SVR의 문제점을 보완하기 위하여, BESS와의 협조방안에 대한 모델링을 제시하였다. 상기에서 제안한 모델링을 바탕으로 수용가의 전압특성을 분석한 결과, SVR과 BESS에 의하여 안정적으로 전압이 유지됨을 확인하여, 본 연구에서 제시한 모델링의 유효성을 입증하였다.
