The modeling of PV (Photovoltaic) module is useful to perform detailed analysis of PV system performance for changing meteorological conditions, verify actual rated power of PV system sizing and determine the optimal design of PV system and components. This paper indicates a modeling approach of PV module performance in terms of meteorological conditions and identifies validity of this modeling method by comparing measured with simulated value of various PV modules using simulation model.

Photovoltaic systems provide a reliable green energy solution. The sustainability and low-maintenance of Photovoltaic systems motivate the integration of Photovoltaic systems into the electrical grid and further contribute to a greener environment, as the system does not cause any pollution or emissions. Developing methodologies based on machine learning techniques to assist in reducing the burden of studies related to integrating Photovoltaic systems into the electric grid are of interest. This research aims to develop a methodology based on a unsupervised machine learning algorithm that can reduce the burden of extensive studies and simulations related to the integration of Photovoltaic systems into the electrical grid.

In this study, the pivotless tracking type floating photovoltaic system was demonstrated successfully. The photovoltaic modules were installed on buoyant objects and the dynamic stability reinforcement mooring gear, tension control equipment and buoyant stabilizer were used to provide enough buoyance and stability and response to the external environment. After installation of the pivotless tracking type floating photovoltaic system, generated solar energy was collected and analyzed.

Formation mechanism of residual carbon layer, frequently observed in the $CuInSe_2$ (CIS) thin film prepared by direct solution coating routes, was investigated in order to find a way to eliminate it. As a model system, a methanol solution with dissolved Cu and In salts, whose viscosity was adjusted by adding ethylcellulose (EC), was chosen. It was found that a double layer, a top metal ion-derived film and bottom EC-derived layer, formed during an air drying step presumably due to different solubility between metal salts and EC in methanol. Consequently, the top metal ion-derived film acts as a barrier layer inhibiting further thermal decomposition of underlying EC, resulting a formation of bottom carbon residue layer.

The construction of photovoltaic complex in mountainous area is quickly increasing recently so that the environment assessment in constructing photovoltain complex in mountainous area was performed by comparison of $CO_{2{\cdot}}$ reduction and forest damage. The case studies for environmental value assessment, which construct photovoltaic complex in mountainous area, show that the losses of around 5.1billion won arise during 15 years. The government's official target for spreading photovoltaic energy until year 2030 can be satisfied when considering other alternative sites, improvement of technology and the alternative sites of an idle space of a building or a disused site, etc, except an undeveloped mountainous area. The construction of photovoltaic complex in mountainous area can cause the great damage to the environment, especially undeveloped mountainous area such as Baekdudaegan, and this defeat its own purpose of using photovoltaic energy. Therefore, the spread of photovoltaic complex through the additional damage of forest should be sublated.

Buildings are responsible for approximately 50% of current carbon dioxide emissions. Energy planning at a town and city scale needs a strategic approach, supported by strong planning policies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the urban scale grid-connected photovoltaic(PV) system for urban residential and commercial sector applications. The integration of PV technology into roof of houses is an approach that is being championed in Germany, Japan and United states etc. In the Korea, PV roofing systems already are given the large number of houses which are projected to be built by 2012. However unlike germany and Japan, urban scale grid-connected PV system is not yet installed. The solar city which is installed building-integrated photovoltaic system is available to use of renewable energy sources such as solar to meet demand, instead of fossil fuels, with the goal of realizing an ecologically oriented energy supply.

This paper proposes a series-connected power conversion system that integrates a photovoltaic power conditioner and a charge-balancing circuit. In conventional methods, a photovoltaic power conditioner and a cell-balancing circuit are needed for photovoltaic systems with energy storage devices, which results in a complex configuration and high cost. To overcome these problems, a series-connected DC-DC power conditioning system that integrates a photovoltaic power conditioner with a charge-balancing circuit is proposed. During the generation, the system operates as power conditioner only, whereas it operates as a cell balancing circuit during the rest time. For the analysis, the operating principle of the circuit and the controller design are done by PSIM simulation. For verification, a hardware prototype with 48-W photovoltaic modules has been implemented. Results verified that the modularized photovoltaic power conversion system with a series-connected storage successfully works with the proposed method.

At the moment, in Korea, over 90% of energy resources depend on imports, and nearly 60% of electric energy is produced using fossil fuel. Therefore, the government adopted the Climatic Change Convention and has implemented the RPS system since 2012 to actively cope with the dependence on imported energy, and to grow and expand the new renewable energy industry. This study examined the performance results of mandatory supply of solar photovoltaic energy and non-solar photovoltaic energy assigned to providers and the present state after implementation of the RPS system. As a result, the achievement rate in 2012 was 64.7%. Especially, solar photovoltaic energy showed a high achievement rate of 95.7%, whereas non-solar photovoltaic energy showed a low achievement rate of 63.3% due to several problems and was highly dependent on the government. In 2013, the burden of each provider has increased due to more mandatory supply and addition of unfulfilled supply of 2012, and the separate mandatory supply of solar photovoltaic energy established for protection of the solar photovoltaic market is restricting investment. Therefore, there is a need to assign mandatory supply in consideration of the available amount of each new renewable energy.

Development and use of renewable energy due to environmental problems and depletion of energy affect grid-connected power system around the world. Therefore this paper analyzes the characteristic of gird connected photovoltaic power generation system which it is available to connect the utility. Renewable energy photovoltaic power system has been linked to the system to analyze the impact of photovoltaic system.

It is measured that power data for the Grid connected photovoltaic power plant with instantaneous measuring, 3sec measuring, 10min measuring for 7 days. Harmonic field measurement have shown that the harmonic contents of a waveform varies with time. A cumulative probability approach is the most commonly used method to solve time varying harmonics. so, it is used 50[%] cumulative probability approach. This paper provides an in depth analysis on power quality field measurement of the Grid connected photovoltaic power plant.
