Heliostat in the tower type solar thermal power plant is a mirror system tracking the sun's movement to collect the solar energy and it is the most important subsystem determining the efficiency of solar thermal power plant. Thus a good performance of it, which is mostly the accurate sun tracking performance under the various hazardous operating condition, is required. Heliostat control system is a system to manage the heliostat sun tracking movement and other operations. It also communicates with the master controller through the heliostat filed control system to receive and send the informations required to operate the heliostat as a part of the solar thermal power plant. This study presents a heliostat control system designed and developed for the 1MW solar thermal power plant. We first define the functionality of heliostat control system. Then sun tracking controller as well as the sun tracking algorithm satisfying the required functionality have been developed. We tested the developed heliostat control system and it showed a good performance in regulation of heliostat motion and communication.

태양광 인버터는 항상 태양전지 어레이의 최대 전력을 추종하며 동작해야 한다. 또한 태양광 인버터는 폭넓은 태양전지의 최대 전력점 전압과 관계없이 최대 전력점을 추종해야 한다. 태양전지의 전류리플이 발생한다면 최대 전력점 추종 기능이 저하되고 일사량 변동이나 최대 전력점 변동 시 정상적으로 추종하기 어려워진다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 고효율의 새로운 최대 전력점 추종 알고리즘과 태양전지의 전류리플 감소 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 4KW급 계통연계형 태양광 인버터에 적용하여 실험한 결과 최대 전력점 추종 효율이 99.97%, 인버터 출력 효율은 97.5%, 인버터 전류의 고조파 총 왜곡률은 1.05%로 우수한 성능을 보였다. 또한 0.5초 동안 일사량을 100% -> 10%, 10% -> 100%로 급격히 변동하였을 때에도 안정된 최대 전력점 추종이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Recently, the energy has been used much more than ever, but there has been many problems including atmospheric pollution. So we need alternative energy resources, which are solar heat, solar light, wind power, small water power, etc. The field, which is most popular these days, is the energy source by solar light which transform electric energy using the solar cell and it is available with many researches. In this paper, we manufactured the solar power generation system over 90W using solar module which was 9.90V for Voc, 0.93 A for Isc, 8.64 V for Vmp, 0.75 A for Imp, 6.5 W for power. System was controlled by step motor with worm gear to operate optimum condition between $0^{\circ}{\sim}70^{\circ}$ angle. This system was very effective in tracking space use because it need less space than general solar module.

Sun tracking system is the most important subsystem in parabolic dish type solar thermal power plant, since it determines the amount of thermal energy to be collected, thus affects the efficiency of solar thermal power plant most significantly. Various types of sun tracking systems are currently used. Among them, use of photo sensors to located the sun(which is called sensor type) and use of astronomical algorithm to compute the sun position(which is called program type) are two of the mostly used methods. Recently some uses CCD sensor, like CCD camera, which is called image processing type sun tracking system. This work is concerned with the analysis of sun tracking performance of various types of sun tracking systems currently used in the parabolic dish type solar thermal power plant. We first developed a sun tracking error measurement system. Then, we evaluate the performance of five different types of sun tracking systems, sensor type, program type, hybrid type(use of sensor and computed sun position simultaneously), tracking error compensated program type and image processing type. Experimentally obtained data shows that the tracking error compensated program type sun tracking system is very effective and could provide a good sun tracking performance. Also the data obtained shows that the performance of sensor type sun tracking system is being affected by the cloud significantly, while the performance of a program type sun tracking system is being affected by the sun tracking system's mechanical and installation errors very much. Finally image processing type sun tracking system can provide accurate sun tracking performance, but costs more and requires more computational time.

The photovoltaic module has the characteristic that the output power varies according to the amount of insolation. If partial shading occurs in an environment composed of an array, a number of local maximum power points (LMPPs) may be generated according to the shading state. Photovoltaic arrays require global maximum power point tracking due to variations in output characteristics caused by solar radiation and temperature. Conventional algorithms, such as P&O and Incond, do not follow the global maximum power point in a partial shaded solar array. In this study, we propose a technique to follow the global maximum power point by using the correlation of voltage, current, and power in solar arrays. The proposed control technique 2qw validated through simulation and experiments by constructing a 2-kW solar system.

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.

This paper describes the design and implementation of hybrid sun tracking solar power generation system designed by combining astronomical data with optical tracking mechanism.
