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.

Recently, the small scale photovoltaic (PV) electronic devices are drawing attention as the upcoming PV generation system. The PV system is commonly used in small scale PV applications such as LED lighting and cell phone. This paper proposes photovoltaic output sensorless (POS) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control for a small scale charging system of PV-nickel metal hydride battery using field-programmable gate array (FPGA) controller. A converter is connected to a small scale PV cell and battery, and performs the POS MPPT at the battery terminal current instead of being at the PV cell output voltage and current. The FPGA controller and converter operate based on POS MPPT method. The experimental results show that the nickel metal hydride battery is charged by the maximum PV output power.

Among the various solar-hydrogen production techniques a combination of a photovoltaic (PV) and an electrolytic cell into one single system, a monolithic PV-electrolytic cell, has been suggested as a promising one in terms of efficiency and stability. In this mini-review, we describe our recent efforts on the fabrication of the monolithic PV-electrolytic cell. Particularly, we focus on the electrocatalysts for water oxidation and its fabrication method suitable for a monolithic PV-electrolytic cell. We also introduce proto-type devices with a dye-sensitized solar cell module and an InGaP/GaAs photoelectrodes.

Photovoltaic (PV) are generally modeled using mathematical equations that describe the PV system behavior. Most of the modeling approach is very simple in terms of that PV module temperature is calculated from nominal constant cell temperature such as ambient temperature and incoming solar irradiance. In this paper, we newly present MATLAB model particularly embedding the effect of wind speed to describe more accurate cell temperature. For analyses and validate purpose of the proposed model, solar power is obtained and compared with and without wind speed from the 50Wp PV module provided by vendor datasheet. In the simulation result, we found that power output of the module is increased to 0.37% in terms of cell temperature a degreed down when we consider the wind speed in the model. This result is well corresponded with the well-known fact that normal PV is 0.4% power changed by cell temperature a degree difference. Therefore it shows that our modeling method with wind speed is more appropriate than the methods without the wind speed effect.

This paper presents a novel single converter and single inverter (1Con-1Inv) topology for photovoltaic (PV)-fuel cell (FC) hybrid system and a new control scheme for the PV-FC hybrid system is then proposed. The new topology and the unique algorithm can minimize volume and production cost of the hybrid system. Moreover, system efficiency can improve due to reduction of losses of hardware components and other control factors are well regulated using just 1Con-1Inv with the help of the proposed control algorithm. The validity of proposed algorithm is verified both computer simulation using PSIM and Matlab/Simulink program and experimental with 700W of PV and 600W of FC system.

The electricity conversion-efficiency of solar cell for commercial application is about 6-15%. More than 85% of the incoming solar energy is either reflected or absorbed as heat energy. Consequently, the working temperature of the photovoltaic cells increases considerably after prolonged operations and the cell's efficiency drops significantly. PV/T refers to the integration of a PV module and a solar thermal collector in a single piece of equipment. By cooling the PV module with a fluid steam like air or water, the electricity yield can be improved. At the same time, the heat pick-up by the fluid can be to support space heating or service hot-water systems. In this study, a pulsating heat pipe solar heat collector was combined with single-crystal silicon photovoltaic cell in hybrid energy-generating unit that simultaneously produced low temperature heat and heat and electricity. This experiment was investigating thermal and electrical efficiency for evaluation of a PV/T system.

Photovoltaic (PV) array, which is generally installed outside, has the possibility of being damaged by high voltage due to lightning. primarily because the electrical characteristics of PV array have not been fully identified by lightning yet, there is a very important issue whether PV array should be connected with a ground or not. In this paper, a basic model of PV array is provided considering the PV cell's barrier capacitance and ground capacitance for analysis of electrical characteristics by lightning.

A semitransparent photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) air collector can produce electricity and heat simultaneously. To maximize the thermal and overall efficiency of the semitransparent PV/T air collector, its availability should be maximum; this can be determined through a Markov analysis. In this paper, a Markov model is developed to select an optimized number of semitransparent PV modules in service with five states and two states by considering two parameters, namely failure rate (λ) and repair rate (μ). Three artificial neural network (ANN) models are developed to obtain the minimum cost, minimum temperature, and maximum thermal efficiency of the semitransparent PV/T air collector by setting its type appropriately and optimizing the number of photovoltaic modules and cost. An attempt is also made to achieve maximum thermal and overall efficiency for the semitransparent PV/T air collector by using ANN after obtaining its minimum temperature and available solar radiation.
