On BIPV systems, especially roof-top PV systems, the power generation is easier to be reduced due to the shades of facilities nearby, or roof itself. To secure profitability of roof-top PV systems, the optimal design of solar arrays through the precise shading analysis is an important item of design considerations. In this paper, an optimization system for array design of roof-top PVs is to be developed using three-dimensional Geospatial Information System(GIS). The profitability of income and expense is considered through the shading analysis of entire roofs. By applying the system to project for validation, the adequacy and the improvement of NPV of the system were verified compared to expert's design. The system has significance by reason that PV modules are placed through rules established with expert knowledge and geometric rules were applied to reflect the constructability and maintainability.

In recent years, the research and development for the photovoltaic(PV) energy system are making rapidly progress around the world and specially this country, too due the deregulation law for the renewable energy system seems to be born sooner or later. In PV generation system, the partially shaded PV array is the one of the worst case which reduces the efficiency of the total PV generation system. The partial shaded condition is the result of shadowing by cloud and dust building of on the surface of the panel. Some structural elements, such as antennas, booms etc. is also the reason of the shadowing. Even if only a small part of PV is shaded, the overall generation power of PV is significantly decreased. Therefore, several researchers who are focusing on the PV generation system take a time for the research related with the shadowing problem of PV array. In this paper, authors have developed the method which users can achieved the modeling of partially shaded PV array with. With several papers authors have already announced the availability of the EMTDC/PSCAD PV panel model component. This research result is the developed version of the previous papers.

Semiconductor nanowires offer exciting possibilities as components of solar cells and have already found applications as active elements in organic, dye-sensitized, quantum-dot sensitized, liquid-junction, and inorganic solid-state devices. Among many semiconductors, silicon is by far the dominant material used for worldwide photovoltaic energy conversion and solar cell manufacture. For silicon wire to be used for solar device, well aligned wire arrays need to be fabricated vertically or horizontally. Macroscopic silicon wire arrays suitable for photovoltaic applications have been commonly grown by the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process using metal catalysts such as Au, Ni, Pt, Cu. In the case, the impurity issues inside wire originated from metal catalyst are inevitable, leading to lowering the efficiency of solar cell. To escape from the problem, the wires of purity of wafer are the best for high efficiency of photovoltaic device. The fabrication of wire arrays by the electrochemical etching of silicon wafer with photolithography can solve the contamination of metal catalyst. In this presentation, we introduce silicon wire arrays by electrochemical etching method and then fabrication methods of radial p-n junction wire array solar cell and the various merits compared with conventional silicon solar cells.

극초소형 위성으로 분류되는 큐브위성의 경우, 표준화된 위성의 크기로 인하여 위성의 전력생성을 목적으로 하는 태양전지판 장착을 위한 공간이 극히 제한적이며, 자세제어 적용 방식에 따라서는 태양전지판에 입사되는 태양광의 각도가 변화하고 이는 태양전지의 전력생성 양을 결정하는 주요 요인으로 작용한다. 본 논문에서는 극초소형 위성 적용을 목적으로 태양광과 태양전지판이 이루는 각도가 $0^{\circ}$인 조건에서도 태양전지판 외곽에 배치된 렌즈어레이를 통해 태양광을 효율적으로 조사하여 전력생성 효율 향상이 가능한 우주용 집광형 태양전력 시스템을 제안하였으며, 극초소형 위성으로의 적용 가능성 검토를 위해 상용 렌즈어레이를 적용한 기능시험을 통해 유효성을 입증하였다.

태양광발전시스템에서 태양전지의 최대전력점 추적(MPPT, Maximum Power Point Tracking)은 중요한 부분이다. MPPT 알고리즘은 태양전지가 주어진 일사량 및 온도에 의해 최대전력점에서 동작할 수 있도록 전압($V_{MPP}$), 전류($I_{MPP}$)를 찾는다. 기존의 P&O, IncCond 알고리즘은 듀티를 증가 혹은 감소시키기 위하여 마이크로 프로세서나 DSP를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 간단하면서 빠른 아날로그 MPPT 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 방식은 기존 방식과 비교해서 매우 빠르게 MPP를 추적할 수 있으며 구현하기 쉽다. 또한 급격히 변하는 일사량에 기존 방식보다 대처가 빠르며 높은 효율을 보여준다.

In this paper a novel tracking system is described, regarding the influence of shadow between array, aimed at improving the efficiency of PV tracking system. Comparing with a building site versus capacity power, domestic solar powers have a limited siting. Therefore, each array interferes with the shadow of other arrays. The loss by influence of those shadow can be compensated for by means of control algorithm of the tracking device. The paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. By using an azimuth of current solar position and the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device is able to calculate the length between actual arrays and make a comparison of the shadow length at a specific time with the length between arrays. When the shadow length is longer than the length between arrays, the controller of tracking device can adjust a position by compensating error altitude of the length between arrays at an altitude of current solar position. In the paper, we develop the control algorithm able to minimize the loss caused by the influence of shadow on the PV tracking system, and compared this with conventional output system. The controller has been tested in the laboratory with proposed algorithm and shows excellent performance

계통연계형 태양광 발전시스템은 계절별 전력수요의 변동이 많은 경우에 첨두전력 삭감의 한 방안으로 고려된다. 본 시스템의 발전효율을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법으로는 근본적으로 태양전지 자체의 변환효율을 증가시키는 방법과 제어관점에서 일사량과 태양전지 표면온도에 따라 시시각각 변하는 태양전지의 최대출력 점에 시스템의 동작점을 추종하게 하는 최대 전력점추적 (Maximum Power point Tracking, 이하 MPPT) 기법을 들 수 있고 발전 효율을 높이기 위하여 자주 사용되어 왔다. 초기 투자비용을 줄이기 위해 후에 등장한 직류초퍼를 사용하지 않고 MPPT 기능을 구현하는 태양광 발전시스템의 경우에 MPPT 알고리즘은 기존의 방법들을 사용하였고 직류초퍼를 사용하지 않은 태양광발전시스템에 적합한 MPPT 알고리즘의 연구는 없었다. 따라서 직류초퍼를 사용하지 않은 태양광 발전시스템에 적합한 MPPT 알고리즘의 연구가 요구되며 본 논문에서는 초퍼 없는 계통연계형 태양광발전 시스템을 대상으로 기존 MPPT 알고리즘의 문제점을 밝히고 이를 해결할 수 있는 새로운 MPPT 알고리즘을 연구하였다.

The economic growth and highly industrialized society have increased the demand for electricity power. As a result, concerns were focused on the energy resource scarcity and global warming. That is why the photovoltaic generation system to address these concerns has been in the spotlight recently. In this thesis, a utility interactive photovoltaic generation system was operated experimentally for the purpose of promoting the spread of the photovoltaic generation system in the future. Also, the effect of the type of array structure has on the performance of the photovoltaic generation system was evaluated quantitatively and by analyzing the comprehensive operating characteristics, the following results were obtained. In the demo system operated for a year, the average irradiation was measured to be 455,076 $[W/m^2]$ and the maximum irradiation to be 626,622 $[W/m^2]$ in May, up 171,546 $[W/m^2]$ or 38[%] compared with the average irradiation. The minimum irradiation was observed to be 294,022$[W/m^2]$ in December, down 161,054 $[W/m^2]$ or 35[%] compared with the average irradiation. The generation power in situation where there is plenty of irradiation was more than the average one, and the generation power in the fixed system amounted to 32[%], the single-axis tracker to 37[%], and the dual-axis tracker to 39[%]. The generation power in situation where there is little irradiation was less than the average one, and the generation power in the dual-axis tracker amounted to 41[%], the single-axis tracker to 40[%], and the fixed system to 36[%].

This paper provides the design techniques of a successive approximation register (SAR) type 12b analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) control in a photovoltaic system. Both a top-plate sampling technique and a $V_{CM}$-based switching technique are applied to the 12b capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC). With these techniques, we can implement a 12b SAR ADC with a 10b capacitor array digital-to-analog converter (DAC). To enhance the accuracy of the ADC, a single-to-differential converted DAC is exploited with the dual sampling technique during top-plate sampling. Simulation results show that the proposed ADC can achieve a signal-to-noise plus distortion ratio (SNDR) of 70.8dB, a spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of 83.3dB and an effective number of bits (ENOB) of 11.5b with bipolar CMOS LDMOD (BCDMOS) $0.35{\mu}m$ technology. Total power consumption is 115uW under a supply voltage of 3.3V at a sampling frequency of 1.25MHz. And the figure of merit (FoM) is 32.68fJ/conversion-step.
