  • 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.

  • PV system is easy to operate and maintain than the other power generating system since it generally contains no moving parts, operates silently and requires very little maintenance. A solar cell generates DC power from sunlight whose power is different at any instance according to condition of irradiation and temperature variables. In order to improve the system utility factor and efficiency of energy conversion, it is desirable to operate the PV system at maximum power point of solar cell under different condition This paper describes the experimental results of the PV system contain solar modules and a DC-DC converter(boost type chopper) using fuzzy controller. The experimental results show that the PV system always operates at maximum power point of solar cells having stabilized output voltage waveform with relatively small ripple component.

  • Lanthanide(III)-cored complex as a wavelength conversion material has been successfully designed and synthesized for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells, for the first time, since light with a short wavelength has not been effectively used for generating electric power owing to the limited absorption of these DSSCs in the UV region. A black dye (BD) was chosen and used as a sensitizer, because BD has a relatively weak light absorption at shorter wavelengths. The overall conversion efficiency of the BD/WCM device was remarkably increased, even with the relatively small amount of WCM added to the device. The enhancement in $V_{oc}$ by WCM, like DCA, could be correlated with the suppression of electron recombination between the injected electrons and $I_3{^-}$ ions. Furthermore, the short-circuit current density was significantly increased by WCM with a strong UV light-harvesting effect. The energy transfer from the Eu(III)-cored complex to the $TiO_2$ film occurred via the dye, so the number of electrons injected into the $TiO_2$ surface increased, i.e., the short-circuit current density was increased. As a result, BD/WCM-sensitized solar cells exhibit superior device performance with the enhanced conversion efficiency by a factor of 1.22 under AM 1.5 sunlight: The photovoltaic performance of the BD/WCM-based DSSC exhibited remarkably high values, $J_{sc}$ of 17.72 mA/$cm^2$, $V_{oc}$ of 720 mV, and a conversion efficiency of 9.28% at 100 mW $cm^{-2}$, compared to a standard DSSC with $J_{sc}$ of 15.53 mA/$cm^2$, $V_{oc}$ of 689 mV, and a conversion efficiency of 7.58% at 100 mW $cm^{-2}$. Therefore, the Eu(III)-cored complex is a promising candidate as a new wavelength conversion coadsorbent for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells to improve UV light harvesting through energy transfer processes. The abstract should be a single paragraph which summaries the content of the article.

  • 이번호에서는 태양광발전시스템의 중요 부분에 대한 설계기법을 중심으로 그동안 설계에 반영하기 위해 검토했던 기술자료들을 소개해 보고자 한다. 특히 국내 발전사업용 태양광발전소에서는 종종 태양전지어레이 설치를 추적식(트래킹)으로 시설하는 사례를 많이 볼 수 있는데, 이는 종합적인 검토와 깊은 연구도 없이 추적식이 좋다는 일반적인 상식으로 시설하는 경우가 많아 필자는 무척 아쉽게 생각하고 있다.

  • 최근 국내에 태양광발전시스템의 관심이 많아지면서 그 시설이 정부 및 각 자치단체는 물론 개인 주택과 대규모 발전사업자까지 급격히 늘어나고 있다. 인류는 지구가 만들어낸 속도보다 40배나 빠르게 자원을 고갈시키고 있고 그 중 가장 심각한 문제는 지구 온난화 문제인데, 1990년대 배럴당 20달러하던 원유가격이 현재는 60달러를 육박하고 있어 자원의 고갈이 심각한 상태에 이르고 있다.

  • An energy generating greenhouse based on fluoropolymer envelope and fresnel lens is proposed. The outstanding properties of the fluoropolymer films make them very suitable for large scale solar applications. Extremely high optical transmission over the whole solar spectrum, combined with mechanical strength, and durability allows us to design a highly optimized greenhouses for both plant growing and energy generation. Systems such as photovoltaic triple junction cells are especially attractive since they have up to 35% efficiency with much less cell material when the sun beam is focused with concentrators such as fresnel lenses. Cooling such devices will enhance the efficiency and provide useful thermal energy that could be further utilized for various applications depending on the local demands. This article introduces the basic ideas and principles of the energy generating greenhouses as a first step towards the actual deployment of such systems under Korean environment.

  • Solar electric systems have very little impact on environment, making them one of the cleanest power-generating technologies available. While they are operating, PV systems produce no air pollution, hazardous waste, or noise, and they require no transportable fuels. In PV system design, the selection and proper installation of appropriately-sized components directly affect system reliability, lifetime, and initial cost. In this research, we have studied the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signals. I proposed an efficient photovoltaic power interface circuit incorporated with a DC-DC converter and a sine-pwm control method full-bridge inverter. In grid-connected solar power systems, the DC-DC converter operates at high switching frequency to make the output current a sine wave, whereas the full-bridge inverter operates at low switching frequency which is determined by the ac frequency. Thus, it can reduce the switching losses incurred by the full-bridge inverter. Full-bridge converter is controlled by using microprocessor control method, and its operation is verified through computer aided simulations.

  • MPPT (maximum power point tracking) control is very important for the practical PV (photovoltaic) systems to maintain efficient power generating conditions irrespective of the deviation in the PV array insolation or/and temperature conditions. Although a plenty of researches have been done so far, most of them are too costly because of being too dependant on expensive sensors for measuring photovoltaic power and micro-processors for achieving elaborate and complicated control strategies. From this point of view, authors have been researching on sensor-less approaches for MPPT control, and have proposed two types of new control schemes 'Power Equilibrium Scheme' and 'Limit Cycle Scheme'. This paper summarises these two schemes with focussing on their :- operating principles and some results of simulation and experiments.

  • 최근 태양광, 에너지 저장 시스템 등의 발전으로 인해 가정에서 에너지 관리 시스템을 구축하고 에너지 생산을 스스로 하고자 하는 에너지 자립형 스마트 홈 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발해 지고 있다. 특히, 일본의 경우 후쿠시마 원전 사태 이후 전력망의 불안정성으로 인해 태양광을 통해 발전하고 이를 전력 에너지 저장 시스템에 저장하고 사용하는 가정용 시스템이 상용화되었다. 북미나 유럽에서도 태양광과 에너지 저장 시스템을 결합하여 신재생에너지 보급사업을 통해 보조금을 지급하면서 설치 가정을 확대하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 댁내 홈 네트워크를 통해 태양광과 에너지 저장 시스템을 연결하고 실시간 요금제에 기반을 둔 에너지 자립형 스마트 홈 시스템 개발에 대해 기술한다. 사용자의 개입을 최소화하면서 자동화된 운전으로 전력망으로부터의 에너지 사용을 최적화하여 에너지 자립형 홈을 구현하였다.
