The objectives of this study are to investigate input variables of photovoltaic generation programs and to compare their prediction to actual generation of photovoltaic system in the C city hall and the C city sewage treatment plant. We investigated the actual amount of generation, the forecast amount of generation, the amount of solar radiation data, and calculated the relative errors. We simulated the photovoltaic system of C city hall and the C city sewage treatment plant located in Chungju using existing programs, such as SAM, RETSCREEN, HOMER, PV SYST, Solar Pro. The result of this study are as follows : Through examining the relative errors of monthly predicted and actual generation data, monthly generation data showed big errors in winter season?. Except winter season, actual amount of generation and the predicted amount of generation showed no large errors.

Solar cell generate DC power from sunlight whose power is different at any instance according to condition of variables : insolation and temperature. In order to improve the system utility factor and efficiency of energy conversion, it is desirable to operate the PV system at maximum power point of solar cell under different condition. In this paper, Boost chopper is controlled it output voltage with a new discrete control algorithm for MPPT. PWM signal of DC-DC converter are generated with a 89C51 microcontroller. Switching frequency of DC-DC converter is set at 10KHz. Simulation and experimental results show that the PV system studied in this paper is always operated at maximum power point under different maximum power point of solar cells having stabilized output voltage waveform with relatively small ripple component

The output characteristics of solar cell vary with load and solar insolation. Therefore solar cell must always track maximum power point. If photovoltaic system is stand-alone. It is necessary to maintain for output of voltage source inverter. In this paper, stand-alone photovoltaic system consists of boost chopper and voltage source inverter. We make it to track maximum power point by revolution of solar cell array instead of detecting situation of sun in any conditions. And we prove that maximum power point tracking by revolution of solar cell array is better than fixed solar cell.

PV model is presented based on the shockley diode equation. The simple model has a photo-current source, an single diode junction and a series resistance and includes temperature dependences. An accurate PV module electrical model is presented, matching with boost converter MPPT strategy and demosnstarted in Matlab for a typical general purpose solar cell. Given solar insolation and temperature, the model returns current vector and MPP.

Since the atmospheric clearness index is one of the main factors for evaluating atmospheric circumstances, it is necessary to estimate its characteristics all over the cities in Korea. This study was focused on the evaluation of atmospheric condition for each 15 cities in terms of respectively or mutually analyzed clearness factor that was predicted on the assumed clear day with the model using factors such as average global insolation, cloud amount, and duration of sunshine measured for two years between 1999 and 2000. The new clearness index data will be extensively used by atmospheric circumstances analysts as well as by solar application designers or users.

The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of a green roof by simple mathematical model. The developed model simulates a green roof during the summer. The results explain and support the claims in the literature such that effectiveness of a green roof depends on the climate condition, and on the insulation condition of the roof. If insolation can not be reduced more than 60% by the shading effects of a green roof, more active measures than green roof seem necessary. The analysis tools like presented in the paper is necessary especially to consider climate effect, to design, and also to test green roof.

Meteorological Joint Frequency Function required indispensably in long-term air quality prediction models were discussed for practical application in Korea. The algorithm, proposed by Turner(l964), is processed with daily solar insolation and cloudiness and height basically using Pasquill's atmospheric stability classification method. In spite of its necessity and applicability, the computer program, called STAR(STability ARray), had some significant difficulties caused from the difference in meteorological data format between that of original U.S. version and Korean's. To cope with the problems, revised STAR program for Korean users were composed of followings; applicability in any site of Korea with regard to local solar angle modification; feasibility with both of data which observed by two classes of weather service centers; and examination on output format associated with prediction models which should be used.

Many generating stations in korea are 25 years or more old, and are nearing the end of their planned life. Financial conditions and Site, Environment problems have made approval for construction of new stations increasingly difficult, and extending the life of an existing older plant may be a palatable alternative. Therefore, To determine whether generator rewinds are necessary to achieve an extended life, and Methods are required to estimate the proable remaining life of existing winding, here, We are going to estimate insolation condition through Nondestructive diagonostic test and Aging history tests of generator Stator winding and winding conditions through deterioration characteristics due to Heat cycle.

The solar cell has an optimum operating point to be able to get maximum power. To obtain maximum power from Photovoltaic array, potovolt aic power syste usually requres maximum power point tracking controller. The output characteristics of solar cell are nonlinear, and these characteristics vary with load solar insolation, solar cell temperature. Therefore the tracking control of maximum power point is the complicated problem. This paper presents power characteristics of residential Photovoltaic system applying a quck-boost conversion system.

This paper proposes a the high efficiency tracking system regarding power loss when operating a tracking system for environment variable such as a rapidly changing insolation and shadow effect to improve the power of PV tracking system. To reduce the power loss, this paper proposes a novel control algorithm of the tracking system. And paper suggests a method controlling an altitude for length which is received the shadow influence of PV array. The paper is analyzed efficiency about conventional PV tracking method, comparing proposed algorithm with high performance method.
