우주용 전개형 메쉬 안테나는 궤도 운용 시 RF 성능을 보장하기 위해 극한의 궤도 열 환경 하에서 극심한 온도변화에 의한 열변형을 최소화할 수 있는 열설계가 필수적이다. 일반적으로 궤도 상에서 전력 생성을 위해 전개형 태양전지판이 주로 적용되고 있으나, 태양전지판으로 인한 그림자로 인해 안테나 표면에 극심한 온도구배가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 전개형 메쉬 안테나 후면부에 멤브레인 시트를 적용하고, 시트 후면부에 유연 태양전지셀을 부착하여 전개형 태양전지판으로 인한 온도구배를 최소화할 수 있는 이중막 구조의 설계 방식을 제안하였다. 제안된 안테나 열설계의 유효성을 검증하기 위해 궤도 열해석을 통해 안테나 표면에서 발생하는 온도구배 분석을 수행하였다.

A solar power generator is usually installed outdoors and it is exposed to extreme environments such as snow weight and wind loading. The solar tracker structure should be designed to have sufficient stiffness and strength against such loads. In this paper, simulations are performed by varying the parameters such as wind directions, wind speeds and the pose of the solar panel to evaluate the effects of extreme wind on solar tracker. As the effects of wind load, maximum displacement and maximum equivalent stress in the solar tracker are calculated. Finite element stress analysis is carried out by using the pressure distribution that is obtained by prior wind load analysis due to the flow around the solar tracker. The stress analysis of solar tracker to check and/or improve structural robustness provides some useful instructions for structural design or revision of solar tracker.

The amount of solar irradiation obtained by a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel is the major factor determining the power generated by a PV system, and the array tilt angle is critical for maximizing panel radiation acquisition. There are three types of PV systems based on the manner of setting the array tilt angle: fixed, semi-fixed, and tracking systems. A fixed system cannot respond to seasonal solar altitude angle changes, and therefore cannot absorb the maximum available solar radiation. The tracking system continually adjusts the tilt angle to absorb the maximum available radiation, but requires additional cost for equipment, installation, operation, and maintenance. The semi-fixed system is only adjusted periodically (usually seasonally) to obtain more energy than a fixed system at an overall cost that is less than a tracking system. To maximize semi-fixed system efficiency, determining the optimal tilt angle adjustment schedule are required. In this research, we conducted a simulation to derive an optimal operation schedule for a semi-fixed system in Seoul, Korea (latitude $37.5^{\circ}$). We implemented a solar radiation acquisition model and PV genereation model on MATLAB. The optimal operation schedule was derived by changing the number of tilt angle adjustments throughout a year using a Dynamic Algorithm. The results show that adjusting the tilt angle 4 times a year was the most appropriate. and then, generation amount of PV system increased 2.80% compared with the fixed system. This corresponds to 99% compared to daily adjustment model. This increase would be quite valid as the PV system installation area increased.

Power Control and Distribution Unit (PCDU) plays roles of power generation control for solar array panel, power storage control for battery system, power conversion for unregulated and regulated primary bus and power distribution to bus and payload system. The selection and design of the proper auxiliary power interface for PCDU depending on various mission is one of the most important step for electrical power subsystem design. In this paper, the general design approach of auxiliary power interface for PCDU which can be used for small-sized LEO satellites application is given. And, the auxiliary power design concept for always alived modules such as solar array regulator and house keeping module is also suggested.

Information presented in this study is intended to inform candidates as they prepare to design and structure the floatovoltaics solar power system. A developed floatovoltaics solar power generation results from the combination of PV plant technology and PV floating technology. This floating-based PV system is a new concept for PV development. The PV floating technology opens new opportunities to give value to unused areas so far while preserving valuable land for more adapted activities. Therefore the land-use conflicts are avoided and the environmental impact is minimized. Therefore the technology offers an interesting opportunity to regions facing on drought during summer time without any negative impact to the eco-system. This study describe the basic components of a floatovoltaics solar power system. A typical system consist of floating system and solar modules, a control device, rechargeable batteries, a load or device and the associated electrical connections. The floating system is specifically designed to keep all metallic components above water leaving only 100% recyclable, closed cell foam filled HDPE plastic floats in contact with the water. As the first case that can maximize the power generation efficiency of PV internationally, it is expected that this study will be utilized as a primary guide for future development of floating type PV system.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of building integrated PV application method on power generation. PV modules were integrated to a hypothetical apartment building facade in Seoul, Korea. Three different design options of PV panel mounted on exterior wall were developed for the analysis of cooling effects through ventilation. Numerical simulations using TRNSYS coupled with COMIS were executed to evaluate the design options. Their facade configurations are such as vertically installed PV panels with or without air gap between PV rear surface and exterior wall surface, and the tilted PV panels attached to the exterior wall at an angle of to the horizontal. Parametric results show that there is little difference regardless of the air 9ap width between PV rear surface and exterior wall surface. Special strategies which could effectively cool a PV panel to increase the electric power are required if we prefer to a vertical facade configuration in a building integrated PV installation. Consequently, it is expected that there is no reason for architect to install vertically PV panels with air gap unless active strategies are considered.

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.

Active control of solar panels with honeycomb core and carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) facesheets for smart structures using piezoelectric patch sensor and actuator to reduce the amplitude of vibration is a lack of the previous study and it is the novelty of this research. Of active control elements are piezoelectric patches which act as sensors and actuators in many systems. Their low power consumption is worth mentioning. Thus, deriving a simple and efficient model of piezoelectric patch's elastic, electrical, and elastoelectric properties would be of much significance. In the present study, first, to reduce vibrations in composite plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes, motion equations were obtained by the extended rule of mixture. Second, to simulate the equations of the system, up to 36 mode shape vectors were considered so that the stress strain behavior of the panel and extent of displacement are thoroughly evaluated. Then, to have a more acceptable analysis, the effects of external disturbances (Aerodynamic forces) and lumped mass are investigated on the stability of the system. Finally, elastoelectric effects are examined in piezoelectric patches. The results of the present research can be used for micro-vibration suppression in satellites such as solar panels, space telescopes, and interferometers and also to optimize active control panel for various applications.

In this study, we survey the 2 buildings at the Central 1 and 8 buildings at the Central 2, which are divided by each climate region in the rural regions. Major heat loss factors are 47% loss of the outer shell including outer wall, roof, and bottom, 30% loss through window, and 23% loss through crevice wind. We analyze the energy simulation of ECO2 program to construct a zero energy building regarding village hall located in Jung Juk 4-le at Centeral 2. We simulate the primary energy requirement regarding village hall and the simulated results show the $265.3kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ and it may estimate '2' energy efficiency grade. The energy requirement regarding village hall is the $183.2kWh/m^2{\cdot}a$ when the passive technology are applied in village hall. We research total amount of energy requirement in village hall when the passive and active technologies such as solar cell with 3kW and solar thermal with $20m^2$, geothermal power with 17.5kW. The simulated results show the improved energy efficiency certification grade with $1^{{+}{+}{+}}$ due to the reduced primary energy requirement with 73% when passive technology including 3kW of solar panel is applied and the energy independence rate is 54%, which is estimated to be 4th grade of zero energy buildings. The order of energy consumption are solar panel, solar thermal, and geothermal power under applied passive technology in the building. In order to expand the zero energy building, it is necessary to introduce the zero energy evaluation system in the rural region.

태양광발전은 발전 셀의 특성상 태양광의 일사량에 따라 발전량이 달라지며, 태양과 셀 단면이 이루는 각도에 의하여 발전량에 차이를 가져온다. 일사량은 경도와 위도로 분류되는 지구표면의 위치와 계절에 의하여 결정되는 반면, 태양과 발전 셀의 단면이 이루는 각도는 고정된 위치에서 태양광발전 장치의 각도를 가변함으로서 변경가능하다. 실용적인 발전효율 향상 방안으로 태양광 발전 장치의 각도 조절방법이 많이 사용되며, 이를 위한 태양추적장치에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 본 연구에서는 태양광발전 효율향상을 위한 태양추적시스템에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구의 태양추적시스템은 광도전효과(Photo conductive effect)를 이용한 반도체 포토센서를 이용하여 태양의 위치확인을 위한 센서부를 구성하였으며, 센서의 출력신호를 마이크로프로세서를 이용하여 해석하고, 태양을 추적하기위한 구동부 제어신호를 발생시켰다. 태양추적시스템의 성능분석을 위한 태양발전장치(10W)를 제작하였으며, 실험을 통하여 연구에서 설계및제작된 태양추적장치의 유용성을 확인하였다.
