In residential house, photovoltaic (PV) system among various alternatives in renewable energy system is the most efficient and feasible solution for reducing energy consumption and electricity cost. However, relatively high initial cost make people reluctant to install PV system in their houses. Therefore, in the initial state for PV system installation in the house, it is very important to decide proper capacity of the PV system considering the expected energy usage and solar energy supplying condition with the house. This paper proposes a novel optimization model for deciding appropriate capacity of the PV system for residential house. The objective function of the model is to minimize the annual cost including electricity bill, operation and maintenance cost, and annual fixed cost calculated from the initial installation cost based on capital recovery factor (CRF). The model also shows the optimal inclining angle of PV panels of the system. In this paper, we estimate the PV output using PVWATTS (PV simulator of Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy) and find optimal solutions by Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) method using MATLAB software. The proposed approach is finally applied to a residential model house in Gangneung, Gangwon-Do and verified its feasibility for adopting to PV system design for residential houses.

The potential induced degradation (PID) phenomenon of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) modules has been often found in outdoor PV systems until recently since firstly reported in 2010. Many studies have been conducted about the mechanism and the preventive methods, but systematic diagnosis of the PID has not been applied on-site. This paper focuses on analysis of 5 categories and 10 PID diagnosis methods using the monitoring data, light current-voltage, dark current-voltage, infrared and electroluminescence. We expect to contribute to improvement of power generation through PID diagnosis and troubleshooting in PV plants.

Photovoltaic technology has been intensively developed as one of the most powerful renewable energies, replacing a fossil fuel such as coal and petroleum. Every country in the world has emphasized on development of photovoltaic technology and our government has invested heavily in low cost and high efficiency. Korea institute of industrial technology (KITECH) has lastingly constructed PV R&D infra for development of cost-effective and high efficiency solar cells as well as support of commercialization in PV's small and medium enterprises. In this paper, we introduce the next generation PV R&D and infra in KITECH.

This paper reports the performance of Wind-PV(Photovoltaic) hybrid system. The output power of PV is affected by the environmental factors such as solar radiation and cell temperature. Also, the output power of wind system is generated with wind power. Integration of Wind and PV resources, which are generally complementary, usually reduce the capacity of the battery. This paper includes discussion on system reliability, power quality and effects of the randomness of the wind and the solar radiation on system design.

본 논문에서는 빛에너지 하베스팅을 이용한 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어 기능을 갖는 배터리 충전기를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 MPPT를 이용하여 빛 에너지를 PV(photovoltaic) 셀로부터 수확하고, 수확한 에너지를 배터리에 연결하여 충전한다. 배터리 관리 회로에서 출력되는 신호에 따라, 배터리의 충전 상태가 조절된다. MPPT 제어는 PV 셀의 개방회로 전압과 MPP 전압간의 비례관계를 이용하여, 보조(pilot) PV 셀로 하여금 주(main) PV 셀의 MPP를 실시간 추적할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 제안된 회로는 $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 설계하였으며, 모의실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 설계된 회로의 최대 효율은 86.2%이며 칩 면적은 패드를 포함하여$1.35mm{\times}1.2mm$이다.

As the installation of photovoltaic systems increases, fire accidents of PV system grow every year. Most of PV system fires have been reported to be caused by electrical components. The majority of fire accidents occurred in combiner box, which is presumed to be short-circuit accidents due to dustproof and waterproof failures or heat deterioration of blocking diode. For this reason, the blocking diode installation became optional by revised PV combiner regulation. In this paper, according to the revised regulation, reverse current that generated by voltage mismatch was measured and analyzed in PV array without a blocking diode. The factors that cause voltage mismatch in array are assumed to be shaded PV module and short circuit failure of bypass diode. As the result of experiment, there is no reverse current to flow under shading condition in module, but reverse current flows on the failure of bypass diode in module. According to the module's I-V characteristic curve analysis, open voltage was slightly reduced due to operation of bypass diode in shading. However, it showed that open circuit voltage has decreased significantly in the failure of bypass diode. This indicates that the difference in open voltage reduction of voltage mismatch factor causes reverse current to flow.

In this paper an integrated model of PV-AF (Photovoltaic-Active Filter) and PV-SPE(Photovoltaic Solid Polymer Electrolyte) system using PSCAD/EMTDC were explained in detaiil. The main concept of PV-AF system starts from the 'harmonics'. In order to deliver power to utility, PV system essentially needs a converter system. Here PV-AF system adds the function of active filter to the converter system installed in PV system, which was introduced already in several papers. PV-SPE system has been studied as a replacement of existing hydrogen production technology that emits large amount of carbon dioxide into atmosphere. Until now, these two systems, PV-AF and PV-SPE, have been considered separately However, in this paper, characteristics and advantages of combined system are discussed in detail.

Given the rapidly increasing market penetration of photovoltaic (PV) systems in many fields, including construction and housing, the effective maintenance of PV systems through remote monitoring at the panel level has attracted attention to quickly detect faults that cause reductions in yearly PV energy production, and which can reduce the whole-life cost. A key point of PV monitoring at the panel level is cost-effectiveness, as the installation of the massive PV panels that comprise PV systems is showing rapid growth in the market. This paper proposes an implementation method that involves the use of a panel-level wireless PV monitoring module (WPMM), and which assesses the cost-effectiveness of this approach. To maximize the cost-effectiveness, the designed WPMM uses a voltage-divider scheme for voltage metering and a shunt-resistor scheme for current metering. In addition, the proposed method offsets the effect of element errors by extracting calibration parameters. Furthermore, a design method is presented for portable and user-friendly PV monitoring, and demonstration results using a commercial 30-kW PV system are described.
