  • In this paper, TMC (Tracker Motion Controller) as one of the many research methods for condensing efficiency improvements can be condensed into efficient solar system configuration to improve the power generation efficiency of the castle with Concentrated solar silicon and photovoltaic systems (CPV)experiments using PV systems. Microprocessor used on the solar system, tracing the development of solar altitude and latitude of each is calculated in real time. Also accept the value from the sensor, motor control and communication with the central control system by calculating the value of the current position of the sun, there is a growing burden on the applicability.

  • The integration of PV modules into building facades or roof could raise their temperature that results in the reduction of PV system's electrical power generation. Hot air can be extracted from the space between PV modules and building envelope, and used for heating in buildings. The extraction of hot air from the space will enhance the performance of BIPV systems. The solar collector utilizing these two aspects is called PV/T(photovoltaic/thermal) solar collector. This paper compares the experimental performance of two different types of air type PV/T collector units: the base case of a collector unit with 10cm gap for forced ventilation and the other unit with copper pin attached to PV module to enhance its thermal performance. The experimental results shows that the base case unit had the overall efficiency of 41.9% and the improved unit with copper pin attached to PV module had 50.1% efficiency. For these air type PV/T units, the forced ventilation of the air space improved the electrical performance as well as the thermal performance.

  • Photovoltaic(PV) power generation system [1-2] has been extensively studied and watched with keen interest as a clean and renewable power source. So hardware and software studies strongly indicate the feasibility of commercially producing a low cost, user-friendly solar cell curve tracer. Generally, V-I curve tracer indicates only the commonly used solar cell parameters. However, with the conventional V-I curve tracer it is almost impossible to abstract the more detail parameters of solar cell ; A, Rs, and Rsh, which satisfies the user, who aims at the analysis of the development PV power generation system; advanced simulation. In this paper, the proposed method gives us the satisfactory results to abstract the detail parameters of solar cell ; A, Rs, and Rsh

  • Photovoltaic modules are well known to be one of the most eco generation of electricity. But usually study solar cell. Otherwise, PV modules are also important in power generation. We have to check other subsidiary materials. In this work benefit of using optically superior encapsulation materials(EVA) in generation temperature is demonstrated. Optical characterization of three EVA products demonstrates reduced transmission in the visible ray region of the solar spectrum. It will have a decisive effect to the module efficiency. Test is shown reduction of reflectance and transmittance. Reflections is dependent on the low iron glass. It can be seen between a specific wave length(240~350mm) about 1%. Transmittance in the entire ray region of light is markedly reduced to depending on the temperature rise. The graph is shown optical properties on EVA. Transmission was reduced. about 1%.

  • The microgrid system is the combination of photovoltaic(PV) array, load, and battery energy storage system. The control strategies were defined as multi-modes of operation, including rest operation without use of battery, power charging, and power discharging, which enables grid connected mode or islanded mode. Photovoltaic power is a problem of the uniformity of power quality because the power generated from solar light is very sensitive to variation of insolation and duration of sunshine. As a solution to the above problem, energy storage system(ESS) is considered generally. There fore, in this study, we did basic research activities about optimization method of the amount of energy used, using a smart microgrid test-bed constructed in building. First, we analyzed the daily, monthly and period energy pattern amount of power energy used, and analyzed PV power generation level which is built on the roof. Utilizing building energy pattern analysis data, we was studied an efficient method of employing the ESS about building power consumption pattern and PV generation.

  • In accordance with the government's expansion of solar power generation, the installation of solar panels is expected to expand in Korea. On the other hand, policy discussions on the establishment of a domestic post-management system for waste from photovoltaic power are insufficient. This study estimated the benefit-cost of solar PV Panel recycling and derived the implications for the photovoltaic waste policies in Korea. Overall, the profitability of the recycling project is very low when the project execution period is 10 years. On the other hand, the economic efficiency of the project can be sufficiently high when the duration of the solar panel recycling project is extended to 20 years. In the short term, it is challenging to expect voluntary companies to enter this recycling business because of low economic efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare various policies to improve the economic efficiency of the recycling business. In conclusion, the following policy implications for PV panel recycling activation are proposed: i) legislation for the recycling of waste solar photovoltaic panel, ii) designation of Association for Solar Panel waste monitoring, and iii) expansion of R & D and the development of various business models related to solar recycling.

  • In this paper, we present an economical and practical standard to install a bypass diode in a thin-film PV module. This method helps to reduce heat generation and to prevent module degradation due to excess current from reverse bias. The experimental results confirm that for different numbers of solar cells, there is a relation between the excess reverse current and the degradation of solar cells in a-Si:H modules. The optimal number of solar cells that can be connected per bypass diode could be obtained through an analysis of the results to effectively suppress the degradation and to reduce the heat generated by the module. This technique could be expanded for use in high power crystalline Si PV modules.

  • In this paper, the test results of medium-size(120 kW class) PV system which was installed in the Taeahn thermal power station of Korea Western Power Co., Ltd., were summarized for developing the practical technology to applicate high voltage grid connection PV system. The 120 kW photovoltaic system which was consisted of 1,300 modules, PCS, and 150 kVA transformer station has been operated since Aug. 05, 2005. For verifying the modeling results of PV system, the operation data was compared with modeling results which was executed commercial PSCAD/EMTD and Psim tools. An equivalent circuit model of a solar cell has been also used for solar array modeling. A series of parameters required for array modeling have been estimated from general specification data of a solar module. A PWM voltage source inverter(VIS) and its current control scheme have been analyzed by using P&O (perturbation and Observation) MPPT algorithms technique.
