지구 저궤도 위성의 임무 운용 시 전력 시스템을 안전하고 운용하고 에너지 균형을 만족하는 임무를 설계하기 위해 계획된 임무에 대한 전력 파라미터를 예측해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 다양한 미션 프로파일에 대해 위성의 생성 전력, 소모 전력, 배터리 방전 정도(Depth of Discharge, 이하 DoD), 버스 전압, 충/방전 전류 등을 예측함으로써 미션의 유효성 및 에너지 균형을 검증하기 위한 전력 시뮬레이터를 제안한다. 제안된 전력 시뮬레이터에는 인공위성의 생성 전력을 모사하기 위해 태양전지판(Solar Array, 이하 SA)의 모델, SAR (Solar Array Regulator)의 3가지 동작 모드를 구현하였다. 또한 소모 전력을 모사하기 위해 버스 및 탑재체의 각 유닛 별 소모 전력, Unit on/off configuration, 탑재체 운용 모드 등을 고려하였다. 버스 전압 및 충/방전 전류를 예측하기 위해 배터리 및 주변 회로를 모델링하고 임의의 DoD, 충방전 전류에 대해 배터리 전압 및 버스 전압을 예측한다. 구현된 전력 시뮬레이터를 이용해 에너지 균형을 분석하고 임무 계획의 적합성을 쉽게 판단할 수 있다.

본 연구는 신규로 구축 된 장비의 정확성과 PVT 제품의 KS 기준의 방향성을 살펴보았다. 먼저 신규로 구축된 Indoor solar thermal simulator의 경우, 인공광의 빔 균일도와 분광 특성을 기존의 규격 조건을 충족되도록 설계했으며, 실제 시험을 통해 B 등급임을 확인하였다. Indoor solar thermal simulator 장비의 정확도는 상용 태양광 모듈 및 기존 상용 장비로 측정 후, 최대 전력값을 비교했으며 오차 값은 약 0.4%로 정확도가 높음을 확인하였다. PVT 제품의 효율은 기존의 태양광 모듈 KS 기준과 태양열 집열기 KS 기준을 준용하여 측정하면 될 것으로 보이며, PVT 제품의 구조적 특징인 열매체 냉각에 의한 추가 전기 효율 방법 개발은 필요해 보이며, 본 연구에서는 태양광 모듈 케이블의 단락 유무에 따른 효율 상승 차이를 살펴보았고 추가 전기 효율 측정 방법으로 가능성을 제시하였다. 다양한 PVT 모듈의 유형에 따라 특히, PVT 모듈 전면에 유리 커버 유무에 따라 출력 감소가 발생되고 추가 공정에 의해 전기 출력 특성이 달라지는 값을 고려하여 PVT 제품의 전기 효율 측정 시험은 인증을 받은 제품을 이용하여 제작을 했어도 반드시 재시험이 필요하다고 판단되며, 시험방법이 수립되어야한다. 마지막으로 PVT 제품의 내구성 평가를 경우, 기존의 태양광 모듈 및 집열기의 내구성 시험의 모든항목을 KS 인증 시험 항목에 포함 시켜야 된다고 판단되며, 제품의 특성에 따라 시험의 재배열을 추가 연구가 필요해 보이며, 집열기 부분의 내구성을 고려하여 합부 기준을 추가적으로 고려해야 한다고 판단된다.

Solar thermochemical syngas and hydrogen production process bv redox system of metal oxide was performed under direct irradiation of the metal oxide on the SiC ceramic foam device using solar simulator. $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ nanotube has been synthesized by anodic oxidation method. Syngas and hydrogen production process is one of the promising chemical pathway for storage and transportation of solar heat by converting solar energy to chemical energy. The produced syngas had the $H_2/CO$ ratio of 2, which was suitable for methanol synthesis or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process. After ten cycles of redox reaction, $CeO_2$ was analyzed using XRD pattern and SEM image in order to characterize the physical and chemical change of metal oxide at the high temperature.

In this study, an artificial solar simulator composed of a 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector was used to carry out the solar thermal two step thermochemical water decomposition cycle which can produce high efficiency continuous hydrogen production. Through various operating conditions, the change of hydrogen production due to the possibility of a dual-zone reactor and heat recovery were experimentally analyzed. Based on the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step at $1,400^{\circ}C$ and $1,000^{\circ}C$ respectively, the hydrogen production decreased by 23.2% under the power off condition, and as a result of experiments using heat recovery technology, the hydrogen production increased by 33.8%. Therefore, when a thermochemical two-step water decomposition cycle is conducted using a dual-zone reactor with heat recovery, it is expected that the cycle can be operated twice over a certain period of time and the hydrogen production amount is increased by at least 53.5% compared to a single reactor.

In this paper, effect of air gap thickness between absorber plate and glass cover on top heat loss of a closed loop oscillating heat pipe (CLOHP) solar collector was investigated. The CLOHP, which is made of copper with outer diameter of 3.2mm and inner diameter of 2.0mm, comprises 8 turns with heating, adiabatic and cooling section. The heating section of the heat pipe was attached to absorber plate which heated by solar simulator simulated by halogen lamps. The cooling section of the heat pipe was inserted into collector's cooling section that made of transparent acrylic. Temperatures of absorber plate, glass cover, and ambient air measured by K-type thermocouple and were recorded by MV2000-Yokogawa recorder. Top heat loss coefficients and top heat loss of the collector corresponding to some cases of air gap thickness were determined. The result of experiment shows the optimal air gap thickness for minimum top heat loss of this solar collector.

Two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ foam device was investigated by using a solar simulator composed of 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector. The hydrogen production of $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ foam device depending on heat recovery of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step was analyzed, and the hydrogen production of $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ and $NiFe_2O_4/ZrO_2$ foam devices was compared. Resultantly, the quantity of hydrogen generation increased by 52.02% when the carrier gas of Thermal-Reduction step is preheated to $200^{\circ}C$ and, when the $N_2/steam$ is preheated to $200^{\circ}C$ in the Water-Decomposition step, the quantity of hydrogen generation increased by 35.85%. Therefore, it is important to retrieve the heat from the highly heated gases discharged from each of the reaction spaces in order to increase the reaction temperature of each of the stages and thereby increasing the quantity of hydrogen generated through this.

Two-step water splitting thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2$ foam device was investigated by using a solar simulator composed of 2.5 kW Xe-Arc lamp and mirror reflector. The hydrogen production of $CeO_2$ foam device depending on reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step and Water-Decomposition step was analyzed, and the hydrogen production of $CeO_2$ and $NiFe_2O_4/ZrO_2$ foam devices was compared. As a result, the amount of reduced $CeO_2$ considerably varies according to the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step. and hydrogen production was not much when the amount of reduced $CeO_2$ decreased even if the reaction temperature of Water-Decomposition step was high. Therefore, it is very important to keep the reaction temperature of Thermal-Reduction step high in two-step thermochemical cycle with $CeO_2$.

A solar array simulator is a special power supply that regulates the output voltage and current to simulate the characteristics of a photovoltaic panel. The operating point of the panel is difficult to control with a single controller because of the non-linearity of the output curve, which is determined by the amount of irradiation, temperature, and panel material. In the conventional method, the output curve is divided into sections through the current and the voltage mode controls. It reduces the overall performance of the system due to the interchanging control mode. By using the single mode controller, the noise interference of the measured value and the stability of the control around the maximum power point were demonstrated. To solve these issues, this study proposes a new unified controller. The stability of the controller was analyzed along with operating principles, and performance improvement was experimentally verified.
