Purpose: Short-circuit current of a solar module that is widely used as a power source for wireless environmental sensors is proportional to solar radiation although there are a lot of factors affecting the short-circuit current. The objective of this study is to develop a model for estimating solar radiation for using the solar module as a power source and an irradiance sensor. Methods: An experiment system collected data on the short-circuit current and environmental factors (ambient temperature, cloud cover and solar radiation) during 65 days. Based on these data, two linear regression models and a non-linear regression model were developed and evaluated. Results: The best model was a linear regression model with short-circuit current, angle of incidence and cloud cover and its overall RMSE(Root Means Square Error) was 66.671 $W/m^2$. The other linear model (RMSE 69.038 $W/m^2$) was also acceptable when the cloud cover data is not available.

In this paper, we analyze the Transition of Isc by natural solar spectrum of c-Si and a-Si PV module. Commonly, performance of photovoltaic (PV) module is estimated under the standard test condition (STC). That is, solar irradiance $1kW/m^2$, solar spectrum distribution: AM1 5G, module temperature $25^{\circ}C$ This means it rarely meets actual outdoor conditions. The solar spectrum always changes. So it is rare to fit the standard solar spectrum AM1 5G defined in ASTM G173-03 or IEC 60904-3. Thus spectral response of PV module is different depending on the material. so we estimated the variation of Isc at every minutes by comparing c-Si PV module with a-si PV module for outdoor conditions.

Building Integrated PV(BIPV) is one of the best fascinating PV application technologies. To apply PV module in building, various factors should be reflected such as installation position, shading, temperature, and so on. Especially the installation condition should be considered, for the generation performance of PV module is changed or the generation loss is appeared according to installation position, method, and etc. This study investigates variation of electrical characteristics of a PV module according to the change of irradiance and temperature. From this experimental study, we confirmed that the irradiance, the temperature variation and the generation performance of a PV module were appeared differently according seasonal variation. Actually the PV module installed in building facade showed high-generation performance in winter.

온도기반 생태모형을 경관규모에 적용하기 위해 널리 쓰이는 BioSIM을 우리나라 환경에 도입할 경우 예상되는 문제점을 파악하기 위해 먼저 일 최고기온 추정과정을 검토하였다. 과열지수 대신 사용되는 개방도의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 전라북도 순창군 동계면 전역을 대상으로 10${\times}$10m 면적 단위로 총 57만여 개 지점의 개방도를 계산하고, 같은 지점에 대해 추분, 하지, 동짓날의 과열지수를 계산하였다. 각 날짜별 과열지수의 변이를 개방도에 의해 설명하기 위한 2차 회귀식을 작성한 바 회귀식의 결정계수($R^2$)는 동지에 0.44, 하지에 0.50, 추분에 0.56으로 Regniere(1996)의 추정치 0.7-0.9에 비해 크게 낮았다. 따라서 개방도를 사용하여 추정된 복잡지형의 일 최고기온값은 신뢰도가 낮아 생태모형의 구동변수로 부적합하므로 반드시 과열지수를 직접 계산해서 사용해야 한다.

본 연구는 봄에서 여름 재배기에 토마토를 암면배지 재배에서 누적일사량급액방식(ISR)과 물관수액흐름 속도에 따른 급액방식(SF)에서 급배액량, 수분흡수량, 과실 생육 및 과실 생산량, 과실비대속도를 관찰하였다. 정식 후 28일에서 82일까지 총급액량은 SF 제어구에서 약 5.0L 적게 소비되었으나 지상부와 과실 생체중은 유의차가 없었고 수분이용효율(WUE)과 과실 200g을 생산하는데 소요된 물량도 두처리 간 유의차가 없었다. 정식 후 58일에서 82일까지 급액방식에 따른 실시간 광량과 물관수액흐름속도 상관관계를 관찰하였을 때 상관관계(r²)는 SF제어구에서 더 높게 나타났다. 정식 56일부터 82일까지 실시간 측정된 과경비대속도와 배지함수율의 상관관계를 살펴본 결과 SF제어구에서 야간과 낮 시간대에 ISR제어구 보다 높았고 특히 야간 시간대에 상관관계가 더 높게 나타났다. SF제어구의 물관수액흐름속도와 수분부족분(Humidity Deficit: HD)과의 상관관계(r²=0.6286)도 광량과의 관계만큼 높게 나타났다. 더 많은 현장 연구를 통해 수확량, WUE 및 센서의 정확도과 같은 특성에 관한 결과들을 도출하였을 때 상업적 수경재배 농장 재배자의 관심을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

This study was carried out to evaluate the clear day operating performances for the decentralized desalination system with the solar thermal system and the photovoltaic power system. In a clear day, we used a solar thermal system as heat source of the single-stage fresh water generator with plate-type heat exchangers and a photovoltaic power system as electric source for hydraulic pumps. The demonstration system generation was designed and installed at Jeju-island in 2006. The system was comprised of the desalination unit with daily fresh water capacity designed as $2m^3$, a $120m^3$ evacuated tubular solar collector to supply the heat, a $6m^3$ heat storage tank, and a 5.2kW photovoltaic power generation to supply the electricity of hydraulic pumps for the heat medium fluids. In a clear day, solar irradiance daily averaged was measured $518W/m^3$, the daily fresh water yield showed that about 565 liter.

In this paper, the efficiency of the solar system is lowered due to the partial shading such as the environmental factors of the solar panel. In order to solve this problem, a DC OPTIMIZER is proposed for a maximum power generation system of a photovoltaic panel. The proposed DC OPTIMIZER is composed of a buck structure that performs the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control of each module of the solar panel, thus maximizing the efficiency. In order to verify the proposed DC Optimizer, the efficiency was measured by varying the irradiance using a solar simulator instead of the solar panel. As a result, it showed high efficiency characteristics as the maximum energy conversion efficiency was 99.3% at $800w/m^2$, $900w/m^2$, and the average efficiency was 99.06% excluding $100w/m^2$. The maximum efficiency of MPPT was 99.97% at $200w/m^2$, efficiency showed excellent performance.

현재 계속해서 늘어나는 에너지 수요량에 대해 세계적으로 화석연료를 대체할 차세대 에너지의 연구개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그 중, 무한정, 무공해의 태양에너지를 사용하는 태양광 발전 시스템의 비중이 커지고 있지만, 일사량에 따른 발전량 편차가 심해 안정된 전력공급이 어렵고 전력 생산량 자체가 지역별 일사량에 의존하는 문제가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 실제의 지역별 일사량, 강수량, 온도, 습도 등의 기상데이터를 수집하여 로직 기반의 퍼지 뉴럴 네트워크를 이용한 태양광 발전 출력 예측 시스템을 제안하였다.

There was a research on the prolongation of solar cycle 23 by the solar cyclic variation of solar, interplanetary geomagnetic parameters by Oh & Kim (2013). They also suggested that the sunspot number cannot typically explain the variation of total solar irradiance any more. Instead of the sunspot number, a new index is introduced to explain the degree of solar activity. We have analyzed the frequency of sunspot appearance, the length of solar cycle, and the rise time to a solar maximum as the characteristics of solar cycle. Then, we have examined the predictability of solar activity by the characteristics of preceding solar cycle. We have also investigated the hemispheric variation of flare index for the periods that the leading sunspot has the same magnetic polarity. As a result, it was found that there was a good correlation between the length of preceding solar cycle and spotless days. When the length of preceding solar cycle gets longer, the spotless days increase. It is also shown that the shorter rise time to a solar maximum is highly correlated with the increase of sunspots at a solar maximum. Therefore, the appearance frequency of spotless days and the length of solar cycle are more significant than the general sunspot number as an index of declining solar activity. Additionally, the activity of flares leads in the northern hemisphere and is stronger in the hemisphere with leading sunspots in positive polarity than in the hemisphere with leading sunspots in negative polarity. This result suggests that it is necessary to analyze the magnetic polarity's effect on the flares and to interpret the period from the solar maximum to solar maximum as the definition of solar cycle.
