$Cu(In,Ga)_3Se_5$ (${\beta}-CIGS$) has a band gap of 1.35 eV which is an optimum value for high solar-energy conversion efficiency. However, ${\beta}-CIGS$ film was not well characterized yet due to lower efficiency compared to $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (${\alpha}-CIGS$). In this work, ${\beta}-CIGS$ films were fabricated by a three-stage co-evaporation of elemental sources with various Se fluxes. As the Se flux increased, the crystallinity of ${\beta}-CIGS$ phase was improved from the analysis of Raman spectroscopy and a deep-level defect was reduced from the analysis of photoluminescence spectroscopy. A Se treatment of the ${\beta}-CIGS$ film at $200^{\circ}C$ increased Ga content and decreased Cu content at the surface of the film. With the Se treatment at $200^{\circ}C$, the cell efficiency was greatly improved for the CIGS films prepared with low Se flux due to the increase of short-circuit current and fill factor. It was found that the main reason of performance improvement was lower Cu content at the surface instead of higher Ga content.

This paper proposes fuzzy logic control maximum power point tracking(FLC MPPT) of photovoltaic(PV) pump system using IPMSM. Conventional MPPT controller was unstable by reason of the ripple-current of DC link in three phase inverter. Thus in this paper the control algorithm of IPMSM using $i_q$ current is composed to improve the insecurity of conventional MPPT controller. Proposed algorithm is operated by simulation with variation radiation condition. And analyze the response characteristic of IPMSM. The validity of this paper is proved by analyzed data.

As well known, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is an important role in photovoltaic (PV) power systems. MPPT finds and maintains the operation of PV at the maximum power point when the irradiation and cell-temperature change. In this paper, the studied system includes a PV array, a Buck-Boost DC/DC converter, a DC/AC inverter and it is connected to the three phase power system. The solar array operates as a non-linear voltage source. The P&O algorithm with power feed-back is used to control the operating point of PV array at the maximum power point. The effects of irradiation and cell-temperature on the dynamic responses are also considered.

Novel concept of shunt active filter (AF) function added in Photovoltaic (PV) generation system is described in this paper. So far, for the PV generation system has been treated as one of harmonic sources to the power distribution systems, not only a PV system combined with AF but also AF systems using PV module as their power source have never been discussed. The basic structure and control strategy of the PV-AF system are, for the first time, introduced in this work. In order to stabilize the output current of voltage source inverter (VSI), the reference voltage MPPT control is applied. Simulation analysis shows that it is possible to combine AF function to the three-phase grid-connected PV generation system without any physical difficulties, and the performance of the proposed PV-AF system is acceptable and stable as well.

The rising popularity of renewable energy sources resulted in development of the units of higher rated powers, where the large-scale plants and grid-connected type solar power systems are increased. Therefore, the importance of grid stabilization, which depends on each country or system-type, has been strengthened by different grid-codes or certifications. In this paper, the control scheme of three-phase photovoltaic system is enhanced, where both injected active and reactive powers are simultaneously controlled with the consideration of the certification of the Germany Association of Energy and Water Industries (BDEW). Experimental results are shown to verify the theoretical analysis.

최근 태양광 시스템에서는 기존의 태양광 시스템을 계통과 전원으로 상호 접속하는 것에 대한 연구에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 단상, 삼상 시스템에 관계없이 태양광 시스템에서 태양광 인버터는 계통연계 동작에 중요한 역할을 하기 때문에 전체 시스템에서 핵심요소로 고려된다. 태양광 인버터를 제어하기 위해서는 부하 전류 조절이 핵심요소 중 하나이다. 일반적으로 태양광 인버터에서 이용되는 PI 제어기는 정상상태 오차와 왜란에 취약하다는 단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 실제 시스템에 완벽하게 적용하기에는 무리가 있다. 특히, 이는 고주파영역에서의 PI와 PR 제어기의 성능을 비교해보면 알 수 있다. 이 논문에서 제시된 PR 제어기는 무한 이득을 교류 기본파 성분에 넣을 수 있기 때문에 PR 제어기는 회전좌표계의 PI 제어기에서 사용되는 디커플링 기법과 복잡한 변환 없이 제로 정상상태오차에 도달할 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 이 논문에서는 PI 제어기를 대체하는 이론적 분석을 통해 PR 제어기를 설계하였다. 논문에 제시되어 있는 이론을 바탕으로 한 PR 제어기를 고정 소수점 연산방식의 32비트 마이크로컨트롤러 DSP320F2812를 기반으로 한 3kW 프로토타입 태양광 인버터에 적용, 평가하였다. 또한 태양광 인버터의 제어 성능을 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통하여 보여주고 검증하였다.

As the grid-connected photovoltaic power conditioning systems (PVPCS) are installed in many residential areas, this has raised potential problems of network protection on electrical power system. One of the numerous problems is an Island phenomenon. There has been an argument that because the probability of islanding is extremely low it may be a non-issue in practice. However, there are three counter-arguments: First, the low probability of islanding is based on the assumption of 100% power matching between the PVPCS and the islanded local loads. In fact, an island can be easily formed even without 100% power matching (the power mismatch could be up to 30% if only traditional protections are used, e.g. under/over voltage/frequency). The 30% power-mismatch condition will drastically increase the islanding probability. Second, even with a larger power mismatch, the time for voltage or frequency to deviate sufficient to cause a trip, plus the time required to execute the trip (particularly if conventional switchgear is required to operate), can easily be greater than the typical re-close time on the distribution circuit. And, third, the low-probability argument is based on the study of PVPCS. Especially, if the output power of PVPCS equals to power consumption of local loads, it is very difficult for the PVPCS to sustain the voltage and frequency in an island. Unintentional islanding of PVPCS may result in power-quality issues, interference to grid-protection devices, equipment damage, and even personnel safety hazards. So the verification of anti-islanding performance is strongly needed. In this paper, the authors propose the improved RPV method through considering power quality and anti-islanding capacity of grid-connected three-phase PVPCS in IEEE Std 1547 ("Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources to Electric Power Systems"). And the simulation and experimental results are verified.

This paper describes an optimal configuration for multi-central inverters in a medium-voltage (MV) grid, which is suitable for large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power plants. We theoretically analyze a proposed common-mode equivalent model for problems associated with multi-central transformerless-type three-phase full bridge(3-FB) PV inverters employing two-winding MV transformers. We propose a synchronized PWM control strategy to effectively reduce the common-mode voltages that may simultaneously occur. In addition, we propose that the existing 3-FB topology may also have the configuration of a multi-central inverter with a two-winding MV transformer by making a simple circuit modification. Simulation and experimental results of three 350kW PV inverters in a multi-central configuration verify the effectiveness of the proposed synchronization control strategy. The modified transformerless-type 3-FB topology for a multi-central PV inverter configuration is verified using an experimental prototype of a 100kW PV inverter.

본 논문에서는 OR논리게이트를 적용한 순차전압제어방식의 독립형 PV-ESS 시스템을 나타내고 있다. 저압연계방식으로 용량확대에 따른 문제점들을 가지고 있었던 기존 독립형 PV-ESS 시스템에 고압의 아날로그 방식의 순차전압제어 방식을 적용함으로써 고효율, 저가격이 가능한 독립형 PV-ESS 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문은 기존 24V 태양광 단위 모듈의 직렬연결 확장형 고압 배터리의 출력전압 384V을 3상 DC to AC 인버터의 입력 전압으로 하여 인버터의 출력 전압과 출력 전력을 AC380V@60Hz와 10kW로 구성하였다. PSIM 시뮬레이션에 의한 이론 해석의 타당성을 입증하기 위해 실험을 통해 OR 논리 게이트를 적용한 순차전압제어시스템의 동작 특성을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a very new web-based software for renewable energy system (RES) design and economic evaluation was introduced. This solution would provide the precise RES estimation service including not only photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT) and fuel cell (FC) individually but also energy storage system (ESS) as combined forms with PV or WT. The three reasons why we ought to develop it are: First, the standardized tool suitable to the domestic environment for estimating power generation from RES facilities and economic evaluation is required. Secondly, the standardized tool is needed to spread domestic RES supply policy and to promote the new industry in the micro-grid field. The last, the reliability of economic evaluation should be enhanced more for new facilities. To achieve those aims, the weather database of one hundred locations have established and the RES facility database has also constructed. For the energy management, mathematical models for PV, WT, ESS and FC were developed. As a final phase, the analytical process to evaluate economics has performed with field data verification.
