In order to verify the efficiency or availability and stability of photovoltaic(PV) generation systems, huge system apparatuses are needed, in general, in which an actual size of solar panel, a type of converter system and some amount of load facilities should be installed in a particular location. It is also hardly possible to compare a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control scheme with others under the same weather and load conditions in an actual PV generation system. The only and a possible way to bring above-mentioned problem to be solved is to realize a transient simulation scheme for PV generation systems using real weather conditions such as insolation and surface temperature of solar cell. The authors, in this paper, introduces a novel simulation method, which is based on a real-time digital simulator (RTDS), for PV generation systems under the real weather conditions. Firstly, VI characteristic equation of a solar cell is developed as an empirical formula and reconstructed in the RTDS system, then the real data of weather conditions are interfaced to the analogue inputs of the RTDS. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme in this paper. The results shows that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency or availability and stability of PV generation systems and the comparison research of various control schemes like MPPT under the same real weather conditions are possible.

We present a design and optical simulation of a cost-effective hybrid daylighting/LED system composed of mixing sunlight and light-emitting diode (LED) illumination powered by renewable solar energy for indoor lighting. In this approach, the sunlight collected by the concentrator is split into visible and non-visible rays by a beam splitter. The proposed sunlight collector consists of a Fresnel lens array. The non-visible rays are absorbed by the solar photovoltaic devices to provide electrical power for the LEDs. The visible rays passing through the beam splitters are coupled to a stepped thickness waveguide (STW) by tilted mirrors and confined by total internal reflection (TIR). LEDs are integrated at the end of the STW to improve the lighting quality. LEDs’ light and sunlight are mixed in the waveguide and they are coupled into an optical fiber bundle for indoor illumination. An optical sensor and lighting control system are used to control the LED light flow to ensure that the total output flux for indoor lighting is a fixed value when the sunlight is inadequate. The daylighting capacity was modeled and simulated with a commercial ray tracing software (Lighttools^TM). Results show that the system can achieve 63.8% optical efficiency at geometrical concentration ratio of 630. A required accuracy of sun tracking system achieved more than ±0.5^o . Therefore, our results provide an important breakthrough for the commercialization of large scale optical fiber daylighting systems that are faced with challenges related to high costs.

본 논문에서는 계통연계형 태양광 발전시스템의 태양전지 전류 추정을 위한 슬라이딩 모드 관측기 설계 방법이 제시되었다. 태양전지 전류 추정 정보는 슬라이딩 모드 관측기에서 얻어지고, 기준전압을 갱신하기 위한 최대전력 추적기의 입력정보로 사용되어 진다. 계통연계형 인버터의 입력 커패시턴스 값은 규정치의 50[$\%$] 정도까지 바뀔 수 있으며, 선형 관측기는 파라미터 변화나 외란이 존재하는 조건에서는 정확한 상태값을 추정할 수 없다. 슬라이딩 모드 관측기의 구조는 간단하지만, 파라미터 변화나 외란에서도 슬라이딩 모드 관측기는 강인한 추종능력을 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 등가 입력조건을 이용한 슬라이딩 모드 관측기를 설계하는 방법이 제시되고, 제시된 관측기의 수렴조건에 대해 서술하였다. 수학적인 모델링과 실험결과로서 제안한 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

A solar concentrator is a reflective surface in the shape of a parabola that collects solar rays in a focal area. This concentrator follows the path of the sun during the day with the help of a tracking system. One of the most important issues in the design and construction of these reflectors is the force exerted by the wind. This force can sometimes disrupt the stability of the concentrator and overturn the entire system. One of the ways to estimate the force is to use the numerical solution of the air flow in three dimensions around the dish. Ansys Fluent simulation software has been used for modeling several angles of attack between 0 and 180 with respect to the horizon. From the comparison of the velocity vector lines on the dish at angles of 90 to - 90 degrees, it was found that the flow lines are more concentrated inside the dish and there is a tendency for the flow to escape around in the radial direction, which indicates the presence of more pressure distribution inside the dish. It was observed that the pressure on the concave surface was higher than the convex one. Then, the effect of adding a hole with various diameter of 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 mm on the dish was investigated. By increasing the diameter up to the optimized size of 400 mm, a decrease in the maximum pressure value in the pressure distribution was shown inside the dish. This pressure drop decreased the drag coefficient. The effect of the hole on the dish was also investigated for the 30-degree angled dish, and it was found that the results of the 90-degree case should be considered as the basis of the design.

태양추적 장치에 장착된 집광기를 이용하여 획득한 고밀도의 태양광에너지는 적외선 범위 및 가시광선 범위의 두 파장 영역으로 분리할 수 있다. 적외선 범위의 파장은 열음향 시스템으로 활용할 수 있으며, 가시광선 범위의 파장은 조명시스템을 통하여 실내 태양광 조명에 활용할 수 있다. 즉, 집광된 태양광은 2차 반사경을 통해 광분리 장치로 입사되며, 입사된 태양광은 Hot mirror를 통하여 가시광선 영역과 적외선 영역으로 분리된다. 본 연구에서는 자연 태양광 및 실내의 인공광원을 대상으로 분리 실험을 하였다. 실내 광원 발생장치 실험에서 분리된 인공광원이 가시광선 영역의 파장은 400m부터 720m 범위이며, 적외선 영역의 파장은 620m부터 940m 범위이다. 또한, 태양추적 장치의 집광된 태양광을 통한 실험에서 가시광선 영역의 파장은 460m부터 680m 범위를 보이며, 적외선 영역의 파장은 620m부터 940m 범위인 것을 확인하였다.

Since efficiency of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is important for photovoltaic systems, a number of MPPT algorithms have already been researched for other environment, however, the most of MPPT algorithms can't track maximum point in dynamic irradiation. In this paper, P&O and 3-Point MPPT which is more specialized in dynamic irradiation are compared in basis of European Efficiency Test(EN50530). The efficiency of 3-Point MPPT algorithm is proved by simulation and experiment. In result, 3-Point MPPT shows higher efficiency in dynamic irradiation and less affected by environment than P&O.

In this paper, a novel utility connected photovoltaic power generation system with unity power factor and uninterruptable power system facility and its control strategy are proposed. The proposed photovoltaic(PV) system is connected in parallel between utility and load. The PV system provides an uninterruptable voltage to load, a maximum power tracking to solar array, and power factor correction to the utility. The proposed system has the following advantages compared with the conventional utility connected PV system. 1. Harmonic elimination Function 2. Feeding the photovoltaic energy to the utility 3. Providing the uninterruptible power source along battery to the load In case that the photovoltaic array system is on the poor power generation, the battery and capacitor of the PV system are charged by three phase utility source and the inverter in the PV system only provides the reactive current to eliminate the harmonic current exited on the utility. In the normal operation mode, the PV system supplies active power to load and reactive power to utility in order to maintain the unity power factor and to regulate ac load voltage.
