The objective of this study is to propose a method to calculate prediction intervals for one-day-ahead hourly forecasts of photovoltaic power generation and to evaluate its performance. One year of data of two systems, representing contrasting examples of forecast’ accuracy, were used. The method is based on the maximum likelihood estimation, the similarity between the input data of future and past forecasts of photovoltaic power, and on an assumption about the distribution of the error of the forecasts. Two assumptions for the forecast error distribution were evaluated, a Laplacian and a Gaussian distribution assumption. The results show that the proposed method models well the photovoltaic power forecast error when the Laplacian distribution is used. For both systems and intervals calculated with 4 confidence levels, the intervals contained the true photovoltaic power generation in the amount near to the expected one.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the location, distribution and its change of photovoltaic power generation in the scale of municipality(Si-Gun-Gu). First the distribution of photovoltaic power generation was analyzed in 2020, and second, from 2017 to 2021, we tracked the increase in capacity of power generation facilities in each Si-Gun-Gu. As a result, the distribution and increase of photovoltaic power generation were concentrated in some regions and the unequal distribution of photovoltaic power generation has been identified through Gini coefficient.

The micro-grid designed as bipolar ${\pm}750V$ low-voltage DC power distribution system demonstrated by KEPRI, demands interconnection of a number of small decentralized power source including variable renewable generator. Therefore, variable researches for the influence of interconnection with the bipolar typed DC grid and these variable power sources are required for superior quality of power distribution. Renewable power generation simulators for the bipolar ${\pm}750V$ low-voltage DC power distribution system are necessary for such researches. In this paper, we carry out a research on the photovoltaic simulator that be actually able to interconnect with a bipolar ${\pm}750V$ low-voltage micro-grid. Simulator for this research is not only able to simulate photovoltaic generation according to weather informations and PV modules characteristics, but also contribute to stabilization of bipolar ${\pm}750V$ low-voltage of the system. Therefore, the simulator was designed to develop a system that can situationally respond to variable control algorithms such as the MPPT control, droop control, EMS power control, etc.

The thermal distribution of 2D and 3D p-n photovoltaic diode structures with and without surface texturing has been studied. By analysis of the numerical simulation results of the I-V characteristics and lattice temperature distributions the effect of different texturing structures on the characteristics of silicon p-n photovoltaic devices has been studied systematically. The efficiency of the device having surface texturing shows more than ~2% enhancement compared to the reference devices which did not have texturing. In addition, the effect of the density of the texturing groove has been studied and it has been confirmed that the texturing structure not only improves the light trapping but also plays an important role in the heat radiation.

This paper deals with the technical problems for the protection devices, by simulating test facilities of protection coordination for Photovoltaic systems. In order to analyze the operation characteristics for the protection devices in the case that the Photovoltaic systems with bi-directional power supply are located in the feeder, this paper proposes the test facilities composed of model distribution system, protection device and model Photovoltaic systems. By performing the simulation for operation characteristics for the protection devices based on the test facilities, this paper presents the malfunction mechanism for the protection devices. The test results show that this paper is practical and effective for the technical guideline for the Photovoltaic systems.

With significant development of power electronics technology, the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as static power converters has deteriorated power quality in power transmission and distribution systems. Notably, voltage harmonics resulting from current harmonics produced by the nonlinear loads have become a serious problem in many countries. Many photovoltaic power generation systems installed in building systems have harmonics that are the worst object for distribution systems as a utility interactive system, and it tends to spread out continuously. Proposed and implemented in this paper is a multi-function inverter control strategy that allows a shunt active filter function to the power inverter of the photovoltaic power generation system established on a building system. The effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated through the simulation of a hypothetical power system using PSCAD/EMTDC.
