Under concentrated illuminations, the solar cells show higher efficiencies mainly due to an increase of the open circuit voltage. In this study, InGaP/InGaAs/Ge triple-junction solar cells have been grown by a low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Photovoltaic characteristics of the fabricated solar cells are investigated with a class A solar simulator under concentrated illuminations from 1 to 100 suns. Ideally, the open circuit voltage should increase with the current level when maintained at the same temperature. However, the fabricated solar cells show degraded open circuit voltages under high concentrations around 100 suns. This means that the heat sink design is not optimized to keep the cell temperature at $25^{\circ}C$. To demonstrate the thermal degradation, changes of the device performance are investigated with different bonding conditions and heat sink materials.

This paper is analyzed for the thermal characteristics(1 year) of the 6 components(DC breaker, DC filter(including capacitor and discharge resistance), IGBT(Insulated gate bipolar mode transistor), AC filter, AC breaker, etc.) of a photovoltaic power generation-based PCS(Power conditioning system) below 20 kW. Among the modules, the discharge resistance included in the DC filter indicated the highest heat at $125^{\circ}C$, and such heat resulting from the discharge resistance had an influence on the IGBT installed on the rear side the board. Therefore, risk priority through risk priority number(RPN) of FMEA(Failure modes and effects analysis) sheet is conducted for classification into top 10 %. According to thermal characteristics and FMEA, it is necessary to pay attention to not only the in-house defects found in the IGBT, but also the conductive heat caused by the discharge resistance. Since it is possible that animal, dust and others can be accumulated within the PCS, it is possible that the heat resulting from the discharge resistance may cause fire. Accordingly, there are two options that can be used: installing a heat sink while designing the discharge resistance, and designing the discharge resistance in a structure capable of avoiding heat conduction through setting a separation distance between discharge resistance and IGBT. This data can be used as the data for conducting a comparative analysis of abnormal signals in the process of developing a safety device for solar electricity-based photovoltaic power generation systems, as the data for examining the fire accidents caused by each module, and as the field data for setting component management priorities.

최근 태양광 발전 산업에서 가격매입제도가 도입되면서 주목받고 있는 태양광 인버터는 대부분 개방형 통풍구조로 인해 기후변화에 유연하게 대응하지 못하고 설치환경에 따라 이상동작이 발생하여 효율 및 수명이 감소하는 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 외부환경에 영향을 받지 않도록 밀폐형 구조를 사용하고 계절별 온도에 따른 변화에 쉽게 대응하도록 새로운 냉각시스템을 부착한 친환경 태양광 인버터를 개발하고자 한다. 또한 냉각시스템의 소비전력을 최소화 하기위해 인버터 내부에 부착한 냉각시스템의 최적 구간을 도출하고 사용 냉각장치의 개수를 결정하여 인버터 효율을 향상시키고자한다.

Finding renewable and clean energy resources is essential research to solve global warming and depletion of fossil fuels in modern society. Recently, complex harvesting of energy from multiple sources is available in our living environments using a single device has become highly desirable, representing a new trend in energy technologies. We report that when simultaneously driving the fusion and composite cells of two or more types, it is possible to make an affect the other cells to obtain a greater synergistic effect. To understand the coupling effect of photovoltaic and piezoelectric device, we fabricate the serially integrated hybrid cell (s-HC) based on organic solar cell (OSC) and piezoelectric nanogenerator (PNG). The size of increased voltage peaks when OSC and PNG are working on is larger than the case when only PNG is working. This voltage difference is the Voc change of OSC, not the voltage change of PNG and current density difference between these two cases is manifested more clearly. When the OSC and PNG are working in s-HC at the same time, piezoelectric potential (VPNG) is generated in ZnO and theoretical total voltage is sum of voltage of an OSC (VOSC) and VPNG. However, electrons from OSC are influenced by piezoelectric potential in ZnO and current loss of OSC in whole circuit decreases. As a result, VOSC increases temporarily. Current shows the similar behavior. PNG acts a resistance in the whole circuit and current loss occurs when the electrons from OSC pass through the PNG. But piezoelectric potential recover current loss and decrease the resistance of PNG. Our PNG can maintain piezoelectric potential when the strain is held owing to the LDH layer while general PNG cannot maintain piezoelectric potential. During the section that strain is held, voltage enhancement effect is maintained and same effect appeared even turn off the light. Actually at this time, electrons in ZnO nanosheets move to LDH and trapped by the positive charges in this layer. After this strain is held, piezoelectric potential of ZnO nanosheets is disappeared but potential difference which is developed by negative charge dominant LDH layer is remained. This potential acts similar role like piezoelectric potential in ZnO. Electrons from the OSC also are influenced by this potential and the more current flows.

지구 환경문제와 자원 고갈에 따른 에너지 위기로 인해 화석 연료를 사용하지 않아 이산화탄소와 같은 온실가스 배출이 없는 청정 에너지원으로서 신재생 에너지는 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 부유식 태양광발전은 기존의 태양광 발전기술과 플로팅 기술을 융합한 신개념의 발전 방식이다. 종래의 육상이나, 건축물이 아닌 유휴수면에 설치하는 재생에너지원으로 구조체, 계류장치, 태양광 발전설비, 수중케이블 등으로 구성된다. 또한 단위모듈 형태로 설계되어 발전용량에 따라 단위모듈을 서로 연결하여 대규모 발전 시설을 조성할 수 있다. 태양광 발전기는 옥외에 설치되기 때문에 구조물에 대한 풍하중의 영향이 매우 크다. 본 연구에서는 부유식 태양광 발전 구조물에 큰 영향을 주는 풍하중을 전산유체역학을 통해 해석하였다. 유동 특성과 풍하중에 대한 풍향과 경사각의 영향을 분석하였다. 모듈의 개수와 바람의 방향에 따라 최대 하중을 받는 위치와 크기 그리고 태양광 패널과 부유체 주위의 유동 특성을 구하였다. 태양광 패널의 지면에 대한 경사각이 클수록 풍하중은 증가하였다.

MOS silicon solar cells have been developed using the fixed (interface) charge inherent to thermally oxidized silicon to induce an n-type inversion layer in 1-10 ohm-cm p-type silicon. Higher collection efficiencies are predicted than for diffused junction cells. Without special precautions a conversion efficiency of 14.2% is obtained. A MOS silicon solar cell is described in which an inversion layer forms the active area which is then contacted by means of a MOS grid. The highest efficiency is obtained when the resistivity of the substrate is high.
