Photovoltaic energy and wind energy are highly dependent on the season, time and extremely intermittent energy sources. Because of these reasons, in view of the reliability the photovoltaic and the wind power generation system have many problems(energy conversion, energy storage, load control etc.) comparing with conventional power plant. In order to solve these existing problems, hybrid generation system composed of photovoltaic(500W) and wind power system(400W) was suggested But, hybrid generation system cannot always generate stable output due to the varying weather condition So, the auxiliary power compensation unit that uses elastic energy of spiral spring was added to hybrid generation system for the present study. It was partly confirmed that hybrid generation system was generated a stable outputs by spiral spring was continuously provided to load.

수상태양광발전 시스템은 건물옥상이나 산지 등에 개발되는 육상 태양광 발전과는 달리 주로 댐이나 저수지 등 수면위에 부력체를 이용하여 태양광 모듈을 설치하는 새로운 개념의 발전기술로서 국내 저수지 수면의 약 5 % 정도만 활용하다라도 약 4,170 MW 규모의 발전시설 건설이 가능할 만큼 개발 잠재량이 풍부하여 환경에 대한 훼손이 없이 국토의 효율적 이용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나 육상과 달리 수면위에서 태양광 발전을 하기 위해서는 부력체를 이용하여 모듈 등 발전시설을 수면 위에 설치하여야 하며, 이와 더불어 수위 및 유속의 변동 등에도 안정적으로 시설을 유지할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 이러한 수상태양광발전 시스템에 추가적으로 안전성을 평가할 수 있는 기술기준이 현재 정립이 되어 있지 않으며 본 논문을 통해 수상태양광발전 시스템의 표준화를 위해 고려할 사항들을 정리하였다.

Output power in photovoltaic systems changes steeply with the change of the sun intensity. The change of output power has influence on the electric power quality of the system. This paper proposes a residential distributed generation system using photovoltaic power generation and polymer electrolyte fuel cells(hybrid systems). In order to level the output power which changes steeply the polymer electrolyte fuel cells are connected to the photovoltaic power generation system in parallel. Thus the generated power of all the system can be leveled. However, the steep generated power in the photovoltaic power generation system can not be leveled. Therefore, the electric double layer capacitor(EDLC) is connected in parallel with the hybrid systems. It is confirmed by the simulation that the proposed distributed generation system is available for a residential supply.

Recently, photovoltaic systems have been devolved into much larger systems up to MW-scale. Photovoltaic industry participants give their focus on power generation capability of photovoltaic modules because their benefits can be decided from the amount of generation. The information on long-term performance change of photovoltaic modules helps to estimate the amount of power generation and evaluate the economic cost-benefits. Long-term performance of a PV system has been analyzed with operation data for 12 years from 1999 to 2010. In the first year, the amount of yearly power generation was 57.7 MWh with 13.2% capacity factor. In 2007, the amount of yearly generation was 44.3 MWh with 10.14% capacity factor, and in 2010, the amount was decreased down to 38.1 MWh with 8.7% capacity factor. The result means that long-term capacity factor has been 4.5% decreased for 12 years and that the amount of generation has been decreased 34.0% for 12 years which is 2.8 % per year. The latter capacity factor has been decreased faster than 0.20%, the average rate for 10 years. The performance decrease of the PV system is meant to be accelerated. The decrease of performance and utilization is due to aged deterioration of photovoltaic modules and lowering conversion efficiency of PCS.

The photovoltaic power generation system has a great future as clean energy instead of fossil fuel, which has many environmental problems such as exhausted gas or air pollution. In a utility interactive photovoltaic generation system, a three phase inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic array and the utility. This paper presents a three phase inverter for photovoltaic power system with current controller, voltage controller, PLL control system and the phase detector of interactive voltage by using dq transformation. The proposed inverter system provides a sinusoidal ac current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor.

In this study, 20.8% of a p-type Si bifacial solar cell was used to develop a photovoltaic (PV) module to obtain the maximum power under a limited installation area. The transparent back sheet material was replaced during fabrication with a white one, which is opaque in commercial products. This is very beneficial for the generation of more electricity, owing to the additional power generation via absorption of light from the rear side. A new model is suggested herein to predict the power of the bifacial PV module by considering the backside reflections from the roof and/or environment. This model considers not only the frontside reflection, but also the nonuniformity of the backside light sources. Theoretical predictions were compared to experimental data to prove the validity of this model, the error range for which ranged from 0.32% to 8.49%. Especially, under $700W/m^2$, the error rate was as low as 2.25%. This work could provide theoretical and experimental bases for application to a distributed and microgrid network.

In this paper, we present the result of investigations pertaining to the development of the floating type photovoltaic energy generation system. Pultruded FRP has superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Since the FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the development of the floating type photovoltaic energy generation system. In the paper, we discussed the development concepts of the floating type photovoltaic energy generation system, briefly. The mechanical properties of the FRP structural member used in the development are investigated through the tensile and compression tests. Test results are used in the finite element analysis and the design of the system. In addition, bolted connections of the members are briefly discussed and the strengths of FRP bolted connections are estimated based on the results of experiments. The experimental results are compared with the finite element analysis results and discussed briefly. The floating type photovoltaic energy generation system is designed, fabricated, and installed successfully in site.

Switch losses directly affect the efficiency of power conversion systems and those have big differences according to the power consumed by load systems and the structures of power conversion circuits. In this paper, analyses for switch losses in DC link converter are performed based on the circuit structures of the DC/DC converter in photovoltaic generation system whose output power is varied according to the amount of solar radiation, temperature and partial shade on the solar modules. Boost converter is adopted as a DC link converter topology of the photovoltaic generation system and the loss analyses for the switches used in the boost converters are performed according to the circuit structures. Analyses like the things performed in this paper will be a prerequisite to designing the photovoltaic generation system whose output power is changed according to the environmental variations.

Photovoltaic Power Generation system occupies an important position as an alternative energy source, converting directly sunlight into electricity,using a photovoltaic cell. The Purpose of this research is to present and confirm the effectiveness of concentration and tracking of sun in photovoltaic power generation. Comparative experiments were carried outwith two rating 75 watt solar modules in $25^{\circ}$ under condition of various times concentration, tracking and plain normal measuring generated voltages, currents and temperatures of back sheet of modules by internet monitoring system to find out which is best in economic sense. The experiments show that output power of concentration and tracking photovoltaic power generation is over 180% more then that of plain normal system.
