Photovoltaic(PV) technology is a popular part of building vocabulary. It can be used today on both existing and new buildings. Its use in the building envelope is very varied and open ways, such as roofing materials, facades, skylights and shading systems, for creative designers. So, to activate this systems demand appropriate sources of information, performance data of elements and design tools offering architects and designer. Therefore this paper describe application elements for BIPV system and then predict improvement in the generated electric power performance of balcony BIPV system.

This paper presents a new cascaded boost multilevel converter topology for distributed generation (DG) systems. Most of DG systems, such as photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine and fuel cells, normally require the complex structure power converters, which makes the system expensive, complex and hard to control. However, the proposed converter topology can generate a much higher output voltage just by using the standard low-voltage switch devices and low voltage DC-sources in a simplified structure, also enhancing the reliability of the switch devices. Simulation and experimental results with a 1.2kW system are presented to validate the proposed topology and control method.

An investigation into power conditioners that interface with photovoltaic array and utilities has been completed. The rating for this investigation is residential system(3-5kVA) that interface with a 220V single phase utility connection. As the result of this investigation, a 3kVA high frequency PWM IGBT inverter feeding a high frequency isolation transformer with a sinusoidal current wave was selected. The output of the transformer rectified with a diode bridge rectifier. four IGBT, used as 60Hz switched, reverse the polarity of the rectified current on every other half cycle of the utility voltage. Even though the high frequency link system used more power semiconductors, a net size, weight, and parts cost saving result compared to the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging control are two important functions for a solar battery charger. The former improves utilization of the available solar energy, while the latter ensures a prolonged battery life. Nevertheless, complete implementation of both functions can be complex and costly, especially for low voltage application such as standalone street lamps. In this paper, the operation of a solar battery charger for standalone street light systems is investigated. Using only one voltage sensor, the solar charger is able to operate in both MPPT and constant voltage (CV) charging mode, hence providing high performance at a low cost. Using a lab prototype and a solar simulator, the operation of the charger system is demonstrated and its performance under varying irradiance is validated.

본 논문은 가변 조정계수를 이용한 적응형 MPPT 제어 기법을 제안한다. MPPT 제어 루프가 소신호 모델링을 통해 구성되며, PV array 의 동작점에 상관없이 MPPT 제어의 성능을 일정하게 유지하기 위한 가변 조정계수가 결정된다. 가변 조정계수는 오차에 대한 근사화된 곡선맞춤 다항식을 통해 결정되며, 이를 통해 사용자가 원하는 MPPT 의 동특성과 안정성을 전 MPPT 영역에 걸쳐 확보할 수 있다. 제안된 MPPT 기법의 타당성은 3KW 급 시스템에 대한 실험을 통해 검증한다.

이 논문에서는 모듈 통합형 태양광 전력조절기 시스템을 간소화하기 위해서 인버터 스테이지 DSP에서 도통률을 결정하여 지그비를 이용한 무선방식으로 전송하고 이를 모듈에서 직접 PWM으로 변환하여 전력조절기를 제어하는 직접 PWM 제어방식을 제안하였다. 각 모듈의 전압, 전류를 지그비 모듈을 통하여 일정 간격으로 샘플링하여 그 값을 인버터 스테이지 DSP에 보내주고 MPPT 동작을 통하여 최대전력점에 해당하는 시비율을 컨버터에 다시 지그비 모듈을 통하여 무선으로 보내주는, 전압제어루프를 사용하지 않는 직접 PWM을 이용하여 부스트 컨버터를 제어하는 방법을 사용하였다. 제안하는 방식을 증명하기 위하여 50W 태양광 전력조절기, 듀얼 솔라 PV시뮬레이터 그리고 지그비 모듈을 사용하여 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

In generally, grid connected single-phase flyback inverter is operated as boundary or discontinuous conduction mode. However, the flyback inverter can be operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM) due to its operating conditions in spite of it is designed to operate under boundary or discontinuous conduction mode. This situation causes unintended distortion to output current. In this paper, a current shaping method on unfolding bridge to reduce the output current distortion.

The rising popularity of renewable energy sources resulted in development of the units of higher rated powers, where the large-scale plants and grid-connected type solar power systems are increased. Therefore, the importance of grid stabilization, which depends on each country or system-type, has been strengthened by different grid-codes or certifications. In this paper, the control scheme of three-phase photovoltaic system is enhanced, where both injected active and reactive powers are simultaneously controlled with the consideration of the certification of the Germany Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW). Experimental results are shown to verify the theoretical analysis.
