태양광발전소 두 곳을 샘플링하여 출력저하의 요인 중 우리나라 실정에 맞지 않는 입사각에 따른 태양전지 어레이 간의 음영에 의한 출력저하를 비교 분석하여 설비용량, 설비사양, 부지면적의 변화 없이 태양전지 어레이의 재배치를 통해 최대 출력을 낼 수 있는 태양전지 어레이의 최적 간격을 산정한다. 태양전지 어레이 1열 재배치 시에는 약 1.2[%], 2열 재배치 시에는 약 2.8[%], 3열 재배치 시에는 약 5.0[%]의 출력이 향상되었다. 또한 1열 재배치 시에는 태양전지 어레이 당 0.39[m], 2열 재배치 시에는 태양전지 어레이 당 0.82[m], 3열 재배치 시에는 태양전지 어레이 당 1.29[m]의 간격 이득을 얻었다. 태양전지 어레이 간격에 이득이 생기면서 음영의 영향을 받게 되는 시간이 점점 늦춰지게 되고 결국 출력의 향상이 나타나는 결과를 보였다.

Recently, a number of large-scale photovoltaic(PV) power generation system has been installed all over the world. Thus, in order to improve the system efficiency, the optimal design of the large-scale PV systems has become an important issue. DC cable loss of PV array is one of the design factors related to the system efficiency. This paper introduces the array design method of a 500kW Photovoltaic power plant. Three types of the PV array are suggested. Also, string cables, sub-array cables and array cables are designed within 1% of voltage drop in the line, and the DC cable losses are analyzed. The results of this paper show that the DC cable loss of large-scale PV array can be reduced by adopting a proper sub-array design method.

The construct of photovoltaic module array, main power source of photovoltaic system, is very important to the efficiency improvement of whole photovoltaic system. Photovoltaic modules are usually connected in series or parallel to meet power capacity required. Since output characteristics of a photovoltaic module are greatly fluctuated on the variation of insolation, temperature and its type, the maximum open circuit voltage and output operating voltage of photovoltaic module array must exist in the admissible input voltage range of inverter system under any operating conditions. In this paper, we present the selection and array method of photovoltaic modules through simulation for the coupling loss reduction between photovoltaic modules and a inverter.

본 논문은 일사량과 온도의 조건에 따른 태양전지 셀의 등가회로 모델을 모델링하였고, 이를 바탕으로 제작사의 태양광 모듈을 시뮬레이션하여 비교 검토하였다. 검토결과 태양광 모듈의 사양서와 시뮬레이션 값의 오차율이 낮아 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었으며, 또한 최적인 태양광 모듈 어레이를 시뮬레이션하여 최적인 태양전지 모듈 어레이의 규모를 선택하여 독립형 태양광 시스템을 구현하였다. 또, 특정지역에 설치시 최적인 출력전력도 시물레이션을 통하여 알 수 있었다.

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.

This paper presents a maximum power point tracking without a current sensor for a small scale photovoltaic power system. The small scale photovoltaic power systems are used in parallel, and so the cost and the reliability are strongly demanded. In the proposed inverter, the current is controlled with open loop, and then the power of photovoltaic array is calculated by the equation using the voltage of the photovoltaic array. Therefore, the system can obtain the power by detecting only the voltage of the photovoltaic array. As a result, we may obtain the performance of the MPPT with a current sensor as well as with a current sensor.

The interconnecting shingled solar cells method shows extremely high ratio active area per total area and has the excellent potential for high power PV (photovoltaic). Compared to the conventional module, it can have much more active area due to busbar-free structure. The properties of ECA (electrically conductive adhesives) are significant to fabricate the shingled array PV since it should be used in terms of electric and structural connection. Various ECA were tried and characterized to optimize the soldiering conditions. The open circuit voltage of shingled array cells showed a three-fold increase and efficiency was also increased by 1.63%. The shingled array cells used in CE3103WLV showed the highest power and in CA3556HF the lowest curing temperature and very fast curing time.

In this paper, a simple control method for two-stage utility grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PCS) is proposed. This approach enables maximum power point (MPP) tracking control with post-stage inverter current information instead of calculating solar array power, which significantly simplifies the controller and the sensor. Furthermore, there is no feedback loop in the pre-stage converter to control the solar array voltage or current because the MPP tracker drives the converter switch duty cycle. This simple PCS control strategy can reduce the cost and size, and can be utilized with a low cost digital processor. For verification of the proposed control strategy, a 2.5kW two-stage photovoltaic grid-connected PCS hardware which consists of a boost converter cascaded with a single-phase inverter was built and tested.

A photovoltaic system is getting the spotlight for a environment-friendly energy source. But its location is limited because a lot of land is necessary for photovoltaic arrays. Nevertheless, its dissemination is rapidly increasing more than 40 % every year and exceeded about 400 MW in 2009. The radical growth of a photovoltaic system aggravated a lack of sites, so that forests and farmland were destroyed. It is demanded to make use of a vacant lot or little piece of land for the way to solve the lack of sites and improve the location requirements for a photovoltaic system. General photovoltaic arrays are consist of a single layer structure and needs enough separation distances to maximize the amount of solar radiation and to eliminate influences by the shadow of other arrays. So that a large amount of land is required for the site. The solar cell arrays with long separation distances can not be placed in a small vacant lot and its site application efficiency is low. This study optimized photovoltaic arrays as multilayered structure with movable sleeves for the efficient photovoltaic in a small site. The existing photovoltaic arrays with a single layer structure were fixed or tracking systems. In this experimental equipment, photovoltaic arrays attached to the multilayers have rectilinear movement and rotary motion using sleeves. Therefore, shadow influences were removed and the generation capacity was improved. On the simulation result, generation increased by about 30% in the same site considering shadow influences and so on.

In this paper, We have simulated the output variation of the PV arrays installation with position & angle change. The existing 3 solar array system are $43^{\circ}$ southeast and each of the mounting angle is $17^{\circ}$. The PV output power is 240 kW. The composite studied systems in this paper arrays altered 2 PV array among 3 PV array system- the output 144kW. We simulated this system using Solar Pro ver.4.1. The simulation conditions are southwest $43^{\circ}/array$, mount angle $27^{\circ}/array$. Because the southeast have shadow effect-higher mountain The purpose of southwest $43^{\circ}$ is reduce the shadow effect. The simulation results of the suggestion design algorithm compared to 1,590 kWh/year output is increased with the southeast.
