The monthly-average meteorological data, in particular, the monthly average daily terrestrial horizontal insolation are required for designing solar thermal energy systems. In this paper, the dynamic thermal performance of a flat plate solar collector system is numerically investigated through a year from the monthly average insolation data in Seoul. For a specified data set of solar collector system, the dynamic behaviors of total solar radiation on the tilted collector surfaces, heat loss from the collector system, useful energy and collector efficiency are analyzed from January to December by a mathematical simulation model. In addition, the monthly average daily total solar radiation, useful energy, and daily collector efficiencies through a year are estimated. The simulated results show that the average total radiation is highest in March and the useful energy is highest in October, while the total radiation and the collector efficiency are lowest in July.

Solar energy is calculated using high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM). In focus on Seoul metropolitan area, correction coefficients of direct and diffuse solar energy with the topographic effect are calculated from DEM with 1720, 900, 450, 90 and 30 spatial resolutions ($m{\times}m$), respectively. The solar energy on the real surface with high-resolution is corrected using by the correction coefficients with topographic effect from the solar energy on horizontal surface with lower resolution. Consequently, the solar energy on the real surface is more detailed distribution than those of horizontal surface. In particular, the topographic effect in the winter is larger than summer because of larger solar zenith angle in winter. In Seoul metropolitan area, the monthly mean topographic effects are more than 200% in winter and within 40% in summer. And annual topographic effects are negative role with more than -60% and positive role with below 40%, respectively. As a result, topographic effect on real surface is not a negligible factor when calculating and analyzing solar energy using regional and global models.

The Primary Production of phytoplanktons produces organic matter in high concentration in eutrophicated Hakata Bay, Japan, even during the winter season in spite of low water temperature. Phytoplanktons are considered to have any biological capabilities to keep activities of photosynthesis under the unfavorable conditions, and this affects water quality of the bay. In this study, seasonal variations in primary production efficiency were predicted by using a simple box-type ecosystem model, which introduced the concept of efficiency for absorption of solar radiation energy in relation to growth of phytoplanktons under the low solar radiation intensity. According to the simulation result of primary production, it was organic pollution comes from dissolved organic carbon (DOC) throughout the year, DOC of which is originated from the primary production of phytoplanktons on biological response of the seasonal variation of ambient conditions.

경사면일사량은 수평면일사량과 해당위치 지형경사도 간의 기하학적 관계인 일사수광비율을 통해 추정할 수 있다. 그러나 이렇게 추정한 일사량은 주변에 햇빛을 차단하는 장애물이 없다는 것을 가정하기 때문에 만약 실제 농사를 짓고 있는 농장 등에 이를 적용할 경우에 지형으로 인한 차광 등의 영향을 충분히 반영하지 못한다. 음영기복도는 태양의 위치와 지형의 기복으로 인한 직달일사의 변이를 밝기(휘도)로 수치화한 격자 형태의 자료로서, 하나의 격자는 가장 어두운 값 0에서 가장 밝은 값 255까지의 값을 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 지형으로 인한 차광효과를 모의하기 위해 30m 해상도의 DEM을 이용하여 연구지역의 음영기복도를 제작하고 휘도 분석을 수행하였다. 연구지역에 설치된 AWS 22개 지점의 기상자료를 수집하여 일조율 80% 이상인 날을 선별하고, 관측일사량과 각 지점의 휘도를 비교하여 휘도가 지형으로 인한 차광효과를 설명할 수 있는지 확인하였다. 분석결과 휘도와 일사량 간에 상관관계가 있는 것을 확인하였으며, 지형의 영향이 큰 지점에서의 직달일사가 시작되는 시점과 끝나는 시점은 태양고도 보다는 휘도와 잘 부합하는 것으로 나타났다. 추가적인 연구를 통해 주변 지형의 영향을 반영한 휘도를 이용한 상세한 일사량 추정이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

A numerical and experimental studies are carried out to investigate the transient heat transfer characteristics of 5kWth dish type solar air receiver. Measured solar radiation and temperatures at several different locations are used as boundary conditions for numerical simulation. Many parameters' effects (reflectivity of the reflector, the thermal conductivity of the receiver body, transmissivity of the quartz window, etc.) on the thermal performance are investigated. Discrete Transfer Method is used to calculate the radiation heat exchange in the receiver. A transient heat transfer model is developed and the rate of radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer are calculated. Comparing the experimental and numerical results, good agreement is obtained. Using the numerical model, the transient heat transfer characteristics of volumetric air receiver for dish type solar thermal systems are known and the transient thermal performance of the receiver can be estimated.

작물모형의 필수 입력자료인 일간 누적일사량은 다른 기상요소들에 비해 관측밀도가 낮아 대안으로서 일조 시간을 기반으로 한 Angstrom-Prescott 모형 추정값이 널리 사용되고 있다. 추정의 간편성 때문에 월 단위 일사량 및 일조시간 자료가 모형의 계수(Angstrom-Prescott coefficients, 이하 A-P 계수) 도출에 사용되고 있지만 작물생육모형에서 요구하는 일간 일사량을 추정하는 데는 한계가 있다. A-P 계수 도출에 월 단위 자료 대신 일 단위 자료를 사용함으로써 기대되는 개선효과를 판정하기 위해 일사량과 일조시간을 동시에 관측하는 국내 18개 기상대의 25년 간(1983~2007) 일 단위 및 월 단위 자료로부터 A-P 계수를 각각 도출하였다. 이 계수들의 공간분포로부터 일사 미관측 기상대 8곳의 A-P 계수를 추출하고 지점별 일 단위 및 월 단위 계수를 실측 일조시간자료에 적용하여 2008년 9월부터 2009년 8월까지 일사량을 일별로 추정하였다. 같은 기간 중 이들 일사 미관측기상대에 검증용 일사계를 설치하여 얻은 실측 일사량자료와 비교한 결과 일 단위자료 기반의 추정오차가 월 단위자료 기반 오차에 비해 평균 9.3% 적었다.

The customer side operation is getting more complex in a smart grid environment because of the adoption of renewable resources. In performing energy management planning or scheduling, it is essential to forecast non-controllable resources accurately and robustly. The PV system is one of the common renewable energy resources in customer side. Its output depends on weather and physical characteristics of the PV system. Thus, weather information is essential to predict the amount of PV system output. However, weather forecast usually does not include enough solar irradiation information. In this study, a PV system power output prediction model (PPM) under limited weather information is proposed. In the proposed model, meteorological radiation model (MRM) is used to improve cloud cover radiation model (CRM) to consider the seasonal effect of the target region. The results of the proposed model are compared to the result of the conventional CRM prediction method on the PV generation obtained from a field test site. With the PPM, root mean square error (RMSE), and mean absolute error (MAE) are improved by 23.43% and 33.76%, respectively, compared to CRM for all days; while in clear days, they are improved by 53.36% and 62.90%, respectively.

Agrivoltaic facility is the composite system that the solar panel is installed above the farmland, and it enables crop and electricity production simultaneously. Solar panels of the agrivoltaic facilities can block and reduce the amount of solar irradiance arriving at the farmland, but it can help the crop growth by preventing excessive solar irradiance. Therefore, to clarify how the agrivoltaic facilities affect the crop growth, precise solar irradiance distribution under the solar panel should be modeled. In this study, PAR (photosynthetically active radiation), radiation from 400 to 700 nm, which crops usually use to grow, was extracted from the total irradiance and its distribution model under various conditions was developed. Monthly irradiance distributions varied because the elevation of the sun was changed over time, which made the position changed that the local maximum and minimum irradiance appear. The higher panel height did not cause any significant difference in the amount of irradiance reaching below the solar panel, but its distribution became more uniform. Furthermore, the panel angles with the most irradiance arriving below the solar panel were different by month, but its difference was up to 2%p between the irradiance with 30° angle which is usually recommended in Korea. Finally, the interval between panels was adjusted; when the ratio of the length of the panel to the empty space was 1:2, the irradiance of 0.719 times was reached compared to when there was no panel, 0.579 times for 1:1 and 0.442 times for 2:1.

Concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) members have been widely used in engineering, and their tube diameters have become larger and larger. But there is no research on the thermal field of large-diameter CFST structure. These studies focused on the thermal field of the large-diameter CFST structure under solar radiation. The environmental factors and the actual placement position were considered, and the finite element model (FEM) of the thermal field of CFST members under solar radiation (SR) was established. Then the FEM was verified by practical experiments. The most unfavorable temperature gradient model in the cross-section was proposed. The testing results showed that the temperature field of the large-diameter CFST member section was non-linearly distributed due to the influence of SR. The temperature field results of CFST members with different pipe diameters indicated that the larger the core concrete diameter was, the slower the central temperature changed, and there was a significant temperature difference between the center and the boundary. Based on the numerical model, the most unfavorable temperature gradient model in the section was proposed. The model showed that the temperature difference around the center of the circle is small, and the boundary temperature difference is significant. The maximum temperature difference is 15.22℃, which appeared in the southern boundary area of the specimen. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the influence of SR on the thermal field of the member for large-diameter CFST members in actual engineering, which causes a large temperature gradient in the member.
