Cameroon is a lower middle-income country with a population of 25.87 million inhabitants distributed over a surface area of 475,442 ㎢. Cameroon has very rich potentials in renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, small hydropower, geothermal energy and biomass. However, renewable energy constitutes less than 0.1% of energy mix of the country. The energy generation mix of Cameroon is dominated by large hydropower and thermal power. Cameroon ratified the Paris Agreement in July 2016 with an ambitious 20% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. This study attempts to investigate some renewable energy deployment policy-instruments that could enable the country enhance renewable energy deployment, gain energy independence, fulfill Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and achieve Sustainable Development Goals. It begins with an analysis of the status of energy sector in Cameroon. It further highlights the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change by decarbonizing the energy mix of the country to fulfill NDC and SDGs. Moreover, this study proposes some renewable energy deployment policy-solutions to the government. Solar energy is the most feasible renewable energy source in Cameroon. Feed-in Tariffs (FiT), is the best renewable energy support policy for Cameroon. Finally, this study concludes with some recommendations such as the necessity of building an Energy Storage System as well a renewable energy information and statistics infrastructure.

독립형 태양광발전시스템은 배전선로와 계통 연계되지 않고 독립적으로 운영된다는 장점이 있어 시공설비가 간단하고 비용이 적게 드는 장점이 있지만 MPPT를 포함한 컨버터와 생산된 에너지를 배터리에 저장하기 위한 충전회로 및 배터리 매니징 회로가 요구된다. 기존의 대체에너지분야의 이용은 복합발전의 형태보다는 하나의 발전 형태를 주로 채택하고 있으나 태양광/풍력 복합발전시스템을 최적설계하고 배터리능력을 향상시켜 설치가격을 합리화 할 수 있는 통합형 제어시스템이 필요하다.

The performance of a photovoltaic array is affected by temperature, solar insolation, partial shading effect, and array configuration. Maximum power point tracking(MPPT) techniques are employed in photovoltaic systems to make full utilization of the PV array output power which depends on solar irradiation and ambient temperature. As much as MPPT is important in photovoltaic systems, many MPPT techniques have been developed. In this paper, several major existing MPPT methods are comparatively analyzed and novel hybrid MPPT algorithm is proposed. The proposed hybrid MPPT algorithm is developed in combination with traditional MPPT methods to complement each other for improving performance and mitigating partial shading effects. The proposed algorithm is implemented and validated using MATLAB/Simulink simulation tool.

The experimental study was conducted to optimize the system dissipating properly heat from the in-situ solar panel installed on the roof. For this purpose, six 12-Watt panels, which were consisted of the different design conditions such as containing phase change material(PCM), changing the array of the aluminum fin and honeycomb at the back of the panel, were tested. PCM, which had $44^{\circ}C$ melting point, was chosen in this study. In order to enhance absorbing and expelling heatin PCM, profiled aluminum fin was placed either inward oroutward from the panel. Furthermore, Aluminum honeycomb is imbedded in the back container to find if it would improve the thermal conductivity of PCM. During the experiment, there were ranged to $26^{\circ}C\sim32^{\circ}C$ for outdoor temperature and $700W/m^2\sim1000W/m^2$ for irradiance. As a result, the solar panel, combined with honeycomb and outward fins with PCM instead of placing the fins inward, is showing the best performance in terms of controling panel temperature and its efficiency.

Renewable energy has become more popular with the increase in the use of solar power. Consequently, the disposal of defective and old solar panels is gradually increasing giving rise to a new problem. Furthermore, the efficiency and power output decreases with aging. Researchers worldwide are engaged in solving this problem by developing eco-module technologies that restore and reuse the solar panels according to the defect types rather than simple disposal. The eco-module technology not only solves the environmental problem, but also has economic advantages, such as extending the module life. Replacement of encapsulants contributes to a major portion of the module maintenance plan, as the degradation of encapsulants accounts for 60% of the problems found in modules over the past years. However, the current International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard testing was designed for the commercialization of solar modules. As the problem caused by long-term use is not considered, this method is not suitable for the quality assurance evaluation of the eco-module. Therefore, to design a new accelerated test, this paper provides an overview of EVA degradation and comparison with the IEC and accelerated tests.

태양광 추진 항공기는 감시, 지구 모니터링, 통신 등에 대기 오염 없이 그리고 가까운 장래에 인공위성과의 가격 경쟁력까지 갖추게 될 수 있어 미래의 고고도 장기체공 임무수행을 위해 더욱더 그 중요성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 전통적인 항공기 사이징 방법들은 태양광 추진 항공기에 바로 적용될 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 동력 시스템 구성품들이 태양광 추진 장기 체공 항공기의 사이징에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 파악하기 위하여 에너지 균형 및 구속조건 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 동력 생성과 연료전지의 재생 에너지 저장을 위한 광전지 모듈을 동력 시스템 구성품으로 고려하였다. 또한 본 연구 결과를 검증하기 위해 고고도 무인기에 이 새로운 사이징 기법을 적용하여 결과를 제시하였다.

MPPT가 미적용된 기존 태양광 가로등은 최대 30%의 출력저하를 유발한다고 보고되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 출력 저하로부터 태양광발전시스템의 효율을 향상시키기 위해 다이렉트 듀티비 제어 알고리즘을 적용한 250W 태양광가로등을 위한 충전제어기를 제안하였으며, PWM 제어기와 전력 토폴로지를 다루고, MPPT 알고리즘을 분석하였다. 전력변환부는 푸쉬풀 강압 컨버터로 구성하고, PWM 제어기는 8비트 MCU를 기반으로 해서 제조 원가를 낮추도록 하였다. 다이렉트 듀티비 제어 알고리즘을 적용한 PWM 제어기는 태양광모듈의 최대전력점을 지속적으로 추적하여 출력 전력을 증가시킨다. 실험 결과, 241W 태양광시뮬레이터 환경에서 97.1~97.4%의 MPPT 효율을 나타내었으며, 실제 응용제품에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

This study aims to analyze the characteristics of temperature variation of Spandrels. According to the change of SHGC of Window system, air space, insulation performance and absorption factor of inner surface at the Spandrels, It was firstly estimated by using simulation. Secondly, measured to minimize the temperature-rise of inner surface temperature and the intermediate air temperature by using Full-scale Mock-up based on the result of simulation analysis. As a result, it turns out that low SHGC window system such as BIPV system had an advantage of reducing the window surface temperature, and the surface temperature of clear window system was all higher than BIPV system on simulation results. In the experiment results, it had some advantages of increasing the Spandrels volume, decreasing insulation performance and lower absorption factor.

This study is to perform economic analysis of a PVT-GSHP (Photovoltaic Thermal-Ground Source Heat Pump) system compared to the conventional system which consists of a boiler and a chiller. This research has simulated, developed and analyzed four systems for application in a residential and an office building which was based on the hourly EPI (Energy Performance Index, $kWh/m^2yr$). Case 1 includes a boiler and a chiller to meet heating and cooling demands for a house. Case 2 is the same conventional system as Case 1 for a office. Case 3 is simple summation of Case 1 and 2. And Case 4 is utilizing a PVT-GSHP to meet the combined loads of the house and office. The economic evaluation study was based on IEA ECBCS Annex 54 subtasks C economic assessment methods. This study indicated that PVT-GSHP system can save a building's energy up to 53.9%. Also the SPB (Simple Payback) of the PVT-GSHP system with 0%, 50% initial incentive was 14.5, 6.7 year respectively.

In solar power system, the height and azimuth of the sun are important parameters which control generated power magnitude. The way that controls the daily generation magnitude according to latitude and longitude and uses two axles is often used in the existing sunlight racing system now. In this two-axle sunlight track control system the self-load is concentrated on one FRAME. It is influenced of the regular load, snow load and the wind load, etc. It is difficult to set up the system in the building already built up. This research is a development about the small-scale economy track device of independent load-dispersing type solar generation system. The position track algorithm is through calculating the trail of height and azimuthal of the sun calculation to follow the sun.
