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.

The 10kW or 1MW model of a photovoltaic array written in PSPICE is presented in this paper. A problem with this large scale centralized photovoltaic system is the decrease of power due to the resistance of cable connecting individual subarray with inverter. In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between the resistance of cable and subarray output power of 1MW photovoltaic system by the PSPICE modeling. As a result of simulation, we can proved that photovoltaic array output power is limitted by the resistance of cable.

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.

신 재생에너지에 대한 건축물 인증제도, 공공건축물 신 재생에너지 투자의무비율 확대 등 다양한 건축물 신 재생에너지 설비투자 지원정책으로 건축물 지붕을 활용한 태양광 사업 추진이 빠르게 확대되고 있다. 이러한 건물 지붕을 활용한 태양광 설비는 인접 건축물 또는 자체 구조물이나 시설에 의한 정밀한 음영분석이 필요함에도, 설계자의 경험이나 단순 그래픽툴에 의해 배치 설계가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 건축물에 소요되는 에너지 일부를 지붕형 태양광 설비에 의한 생산전력으로 대체하고자 할 때, 특정 선정기준에 따른 태양광 어레이의 최적 배치안을 선정하는 프로세스 모델을 구축하고자 한다.

In recent years, many investigations about photovoltaic power systems have been significantly carried out in the fields of renewable power energy. Such research area generally includes developments of highly efficient solar cells, advanced power conversion systems, and smart monitoring systems. A generic objective of fault detection and diagnosis techniques is to timely recognize unexpected faulty of dynamic systems so that economic demage occurred by such faulty is decreased by means of engineering techniques. This paper presents a novel fault detection approach for photovoltaic power arrays which are electrically connected in series and parallels. In the proposed fault detection scheme, we first measure all of photovoltaic modules located in each array by using electronic sense systems and then compare each measurement in turn to detect location of fault module through statistic computation algorithm. We accomplish real-time experiments to demonstrate our proposed fault detection methodology by using a test-bed system including two 20 watt photovoltaic modules.

계통연계형 태양광발전시스템에서는 계통과 태양광시스템을 연계하기 위해 PWM 인버터가 이용된다. 인버터 시스템을 연속전류모드로 운전하면 맥동이 발생하게 되고, 직류전류의 맥동발생은 교류전류파형의 왜형을 가져온다. 본 연구에서는 직류입력전류의 맥동을 감소시키기 위하여 불연속모드 승강압초퍼로 인버터를 운전한다. 직류 전류에 포함된 고조파성분을 리플성분과 직류성분으로 분리하여 해석하고, 맥동이 없는 일정한 직류전류를 태양 전지로부터 인버터로 공급한다. 제안하는 인버터시스템은 단위 역률로 부하와 계통에 교류전류를 공급한다.

This paper presents a novel maximum power point tracking for a photovoltaic power (PV) system with a direct control plan. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) must usually be integrated with photovoltaic (PV) power systems so that the photovoltaic arrays are able to deliver maximum available power. The maximum available power is tracked using specialized algorithms such as Perturb and Observe (P&O) and incremental Conductance (indCond) methods. The proposed method has the direct control of the MPPT algorithm to change the duty cycle of a dc-dc converter. The main difference of the proposed system to existing MPPT systems includes elimination of the proportional-integral control loop and investigation of the effect of simplifying the control circuit. The proposed method thus has not only faster dynamic performance but also high tracking accuracy. Without a conventional controller, this method can control the dc-dc converter. A simulation model and the direct control of MPPT algorithm for the PV power system are developed by Matlab/Simulink, SimPowerSystems and Matlab/Stateflow.

In a utility interactive photovoltaic system, a PWM inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic arrays and the utility. The DC current becomes pulsated causes the distortion of the AC current waveform. This paper presents the reduced pulsation of DC input current by operating the inverter with buck-boost chopper in the discontinuous conduction mode. The DC current with contains harmonics component is analyzed by means of separating into two terms of a ripple component and a direct component. The constant DC current without pulsation is supplied from photovoltaic array to the inverter. The proposed inverter system provide a sinusoidal AC current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor.

Since large and small scale photovoltaic(PV) systems have been commercialized in many countries, it is necessary to assess the effects of PV systems on the electric power system. For this, the development of accurate simulation model of PV arrays is very important. PSCAD/EMTDC, a widely used simulation tool for analyzing the transient behavior of electrical apparatus and networks, does not have a standard model of a PV array. Therefore in order to simulate the PV array, users have to develop their own simulation model. However, the block-diagram-based model is very complicated, and it is hard to modify the model parameters. In this study, we develop the user-defined model of a PV array by using the Design Editor, which is provided by PSCAD program. The mathematical model of a PV array and the method to determine the parameters of nonlinear I-V equation are implemented in a Fortran code. The graphical user interface provides the users with easy and simple way to modify the PV array parameters and simulation conditions. In order to help the users, this model also provides the parameters of 10 commercial PV arrays.
