Solar electric systems have very little impact on environment, making them one of the cleanest power-generating technologies available. While they are operating, PV systems produce no air pollution, hazardous waste, or noise, and they require no transportable fuels. In PV system design, the selection and proper installation of appropriately-sized components directly affect system reliability, lifetime, and initial cost. In this research, we have studied the PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) signals. I proposed an efficient photovoltaic power interface circuit incorporated with a DC-DC converter and a sine-pwm control method full-bridge inverter. In grid-connected solar power systems, the DC-DC converter operates at high switching frequency to make the output current a sine wave, whereas the full-bridge inverter operates at low switching frequency which is determined by the ac frequency. Thus, it can reduce the switching losses incurred by the full-bridge inverter. Full-bridge converter is controlled by using microprocessor control method, and its operation is verified through computer aided simulations.

In this study, we designed a digital fuzzy logic controller based on FPGA and microprocessor for MPPT of the sofar power generation system. A fuzzy algorithm to control the power tracking function of a boost converter has been built into the FPGA, and applied to the small scaled solar power generation system. The embodied controller showed a stable operation characteristic with the small output voltage ripple for the intensity change of solar radiation. This result proves that the implementation of the power tracking controller using FPGA is an effective way compared to the existing one using microprocessor.

The solar cell has an optimum operating point to be able to get maximum power. To obtain maximum power from Photovoltaic array, potovolt aic power syste usually requres maximum power point tracking controller. The output characteristics of solar cell are nonlinear, and these characteristics vary with load solar insolation, solar cell temperature. Therefore the tracking control of maximum power point is the complicated problem. This paper presents power characteristics of residential Photovoltaic system applying a quck-boost conversion system.

우리나라 뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 온실가스를 줄이기 위해 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 많다. 현재 우리나라에서는 신재생 에너지 중 태양광 발전소의 전기 생산 비율이 가장 높으며, 지금도 태양광 발전소가 많이 설치되고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 태양광 기술은 발전하고 있지만, 태양광 발전소의 입지 선정에 대한 연구가 아직 부족하여 여러 가지 문제가 발견되고 있으며 발전된 기술을 제대로 활용하지 못하는 문제도 발생하고 있다. 또한, 무분별한 발전소의 설치로 인해 자연훼손도 심각하다. 본 연구에서는 태양광 발전소의 입지조건을 사회, 문화, 경제적 등 다방면의 인자들을 고려하고, 다양한 인자들을 이용하여 시각화 및 데이터화를 시킨 후 계층분석법을 통한 가중치를 부여하여 태양광 발전소 입지 분석을 하였다. 이렇게 여러 인자의 영향을 고려했기 때문에 태양광 발전소의 설치로 인한 문제들을 방지할 수 있고, 태양광의 발전된 기술을 최대한 활용할 수 있으며, 현재 설치가 진행 중인 발전소 뿐만 아니라 기존 잘못된 입지들에 대한 대책 마련에 도움이 될 것이라고 기대한다.

This research aims to study the effects of the incidence angle and surface temperature on the power generation performance of a thin-film CIGS solar cell for solar powered unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The test rig consists of a unit CIGS solar cell is installed on a table whose angle is controlled manually. A K-type thermocouple is attached to the solar cell surface for temperature measurements. A solar module analyzer measures the voltage and current generated from the test solar cell. The solar module analyzer also calculates the maximum solar power and efficiency of the solar cell. All test data are acquired in a PC. Test results show that the solar cell efficiency decreases significantly with increasing incidence angle and increasing surface temperature in general. As the incidence angle increases from 0 degree to 90 degree, the solar cell efficiency decreases by 60%. The solar cell efficiency decreases by 10% with increasing solar cell surface temperature from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$, for exmaple. The direct cooling method of the solar cell using dry ice decreases dramatically the solar cell surface temperature, thus increasing the solar cell efficiency by 15%.

In power supply systems for urban areas, issues such as a progressive tax have escalated recently. In this regard, photovoltaic power generation, which is appraised as an alternative power generation system, is drawing attention increasingly for its high stability and applicability to existing infrastructure. This study assessed the realistic feasibility of photovoltaic power generation and also analyzed the economic benefits expected when it is linked with green roof, which is likely to promote ecological functions in urban areas, based on the Seoul solar map, RPS, and actual monitoring data. The economics analysis of 30kW photovoltaic power generation applied with the monthly average horizontal solar radiation of six grades in the Seoul solar map showed that positive NPV was up to grade 4, while grade 5 or poorer showed negative NPV and indicated that it is difficult to assure appropriate feasibility. Compared with non-afforestation, when green roof was applied, monthly average power improvement efficiency was 7.2% at highest and 3.7% at lowest based on yearly actual monitoring data. The annual average was 5.3%, and the efficiency was high relatively in summer, including September and November. As for the economic benefits expected when 30kw photovoltaic power generation is combined with green roof based on the average horizontal solar radiation of grade 1 in the Seoul solar map, SP has improved 0.2 years to 7.4 years, and EP has improved 0.5 years to 8.3 years.

태양광 발전량은 날씨에 큰 영향을 받는다. 기상 예보를 사용할 수 있는 환경이라면, 기상 예보 정보를 사용하여 미래의 태양광 발전량을 단기예측 할 수 있다. 하지만, 섬이나 산과 같이 네트워크의 단절에 의해 기상예보 정보를 사용할 수 없는 제한된 환경에서는 기상예보를 사용한 태양광 발전량 예측 모델을 사용할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 시스템 자체적으로 수집할 수 있는 정보만을 이용하여 태양광 발전량을 단기 예측할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하였다. 예측의 정확도를 높이기 위하여 이전 온도정보와 발전량 정보를 이용하여 단기 예측모델을 생성하였다. 실험을 통하여 실데이터에 제안한 예측 모델을 적용하여 유용한 결과를 보였다.

With the opening of the small power brokerage business market in December 2018, the small power trading market has started in Korea. Operators must submit the day-ahead estimates of power output and receive incentives based on its accuracy. Therefore, the accuracy of power generation forecasts is directly affects profits of the operators. The forecasting process for power generation can be divided into two procedure. The first is to forecast solar irradiation and the second is to transform forecasted solar irradiation into power generation. There are two methods for transformation. One is to simulate with physical model, and another is to use regression model. In this study, we found the best-fit regression model by analyzing hourly data of PV output and solar irradiation data during three years for 242 PV plants in Korea. The best model was not a linear model, but a sigmoidal model and specifically a Gompertz model. The combined linear regression and Gompertz curve was proposed because a the curve has non-zero y-intercept. As the result, R² and RMSE between observed data and the curve was significantly reduced.

This paper describes the procedure and calculation results of basic design and transient variation of performance of 1 MWe large scale solar thermal power plant (STPP) by using the commercial software of THERMOFLEX and TRNSYS, respectively. In order to simulate the transient variation of STPP, the results of basic design are necessary. The design standard of the STPP is 1 MWe generation with solar only at high DNI condition and then 0.6 MWe output power for 1 hour using stored energy when the DNI becomes lower unable to operate normally. The results of basic design show the important design data of flow rates, water/steam conditions at each equipments and the estimated efficiency of STPP. In addition, dynamic simulation results of STPP are predicted and plotted for one year and three different days weather data of Daejeon.
