The transition from fossil to renewable energy is inevitable due to fossil depletion. So, Renewable energy is very important for energy security and economic growth although it's R&D is long-term and high risky project. We propose new valuation method which combined system dynamics and compound real option method for long-term and high risk projects such as renewable energy. This method can show dynamic valuation results for the complex causal interaction and be easy for Monte-Carlo simulation to estimate volatility. And it can reflect the value of flexible decision for uncertainty. We applied the empirical analysis for Korea's photovoltaic industry by using this method. As results by empirical analysis, photovoltaic's R&D has high valuation using this method compared by traditional valuation methods such as DCF.

The photovoltaic module has the characteristic that the output power varies according to the amount of insolation. If partial shading occurs in an environment composed of an array, a number of local maximum power points (LMPPs) may be generated according to the shading state. Photovoltaic arrays require global maximum power point tracking due to variations in output characteristics caused by solar radiation and temperature. Conventional algorithms, such as P&O and Incond, do not follow the global maximum power point in a partial shaded solar array. In this study, we propose a technique to follow the global maximum power point by using the correlation of voltage, current, and power in solar arrays. The proposed control technique 2qw validated through simulation and experiments by constructing a 2-kW solar system.

With the appearance of the climate change concerns, energy transition to renewable energy is accelerating over the world. Korea, a latecomer to the renewable energy sector, has also been unable to avoid energy transition. The government is promoting strong goals for expansion of renewable energy. However, switching from stable and controllable conventional generation to intermittent and uncontrollable renewable generation will be a big challenge for the electric power industry. Korea Power Exchange(KPX), which is responsible for the planning and operation of the electric power industry in Korea, is trying to improve measures in various fields such as the implementation of real-time unit commitment and additional real-time markets in order to cope with the volatility and intermittency of renewable energy.

Solar energy had become the main energy industry of renewable energy along with hydroelectric power generation. One of the technologies that contributed to the popularization of photovoltaic power and the decrease in the unit price of photovoltaic modules was the large-area solar cell. However, as the area increased, the light receiving area increased and the current value increased accordingly. Since power loss occurs when the current value was large, the number of busbar was increased to increase the current collection rate, and a technology to lower the current value through half-cutting was developed. The bus bar of the solar cell served as a passage through which the generated current was transmitted. This was because when the number of busbar decreases, the moving distance of electrons increased, so the amount of power generation decreases and when it increases, shadows occured. An important aspect of the electrode design was the optimal balance of these busbars and number of fingers. Therefore, in this study, the characteristics of the solar cell according to the number of front bus bars of the large-area solar cell were simulated using Griddler 2,5 pro. After selecting the number of busbar with the best characteristics, the difference was compared by varying the number of fingers and a better direction for the number of cutting was presented.

Recently solar cell industry needs the optimal design of Czochralski process for low cost high quality silicon mono crystalline ingot. Because market needs both high efficient solar cell and similar cost with multi-crystalline Si ingot. For cost reduction in Czochralski process, first of all energy reduction should be completed because Czochralski process is high energy consumption process. For this purpose we studied optimal water-cooling tube design and simultaneously we also check the quality of ingot with Von mises stress and V(pull speed of ingot)/G(temperature gradient to the crystallization) values. At this research we used $CG-Sim^{(R)}$ S/W package and finally we got improved water-cooling tube design than normally used process in present industry. The optimal water-cooling tube length should be 200mm. The result will be adopted at real industry.

In recent years, solar cells based on crystalline silicon(c-Si) have accounted for much of the photovoltaic industry. The recent studies have focused on fabricating c-Si solar modules with low cost and improved efficiency. Among many suggested methods, a photovoltaic module with a shingled structure that is connected to a small cut cell in series is a recent strong candidate for low-cost, high efficiency energy harvesting systems. The shingled structure increases the efficiency compared to the module with 6 inch full cells by minimizing optical and electrical losses. In this study, we propoese a new Conductive Paste (CP) to interconnect cells in a shingled module and compare it with the Electrical Conductive Adhesives (ECA) in the conventional module. Since the CP consists of a compound of tin and bismuth, the module is more economical than the module with ECA, which contains silver. Moreover, the melting point of CP is below $150^{\circ}C$, so the cells can be integrated with decreased thermal-mechanical stress. The output of the shingled PV module connected by CP is the same as that of the module with ECA. In addition, electroluminescence (EL) analysis indicates that the introduction of CP does not provoke additional cracks. Furthermore, the CP soldering connects cells without increasing ohmic losses. Thus, this study confirms that interconnection with CP can integrate cells with reduced cost in shingled c-Si PV modules.

상대적으로 비싼 에너지비용이 소요되는 신재생에너지를 사업화하기 위해서는 혁신적인 기술진보가 필수적이다. 신재생에너지 기술은 타 기술에 비해 충분한 실증-보급의 검증과정을 거치는 Long term High Risk의 특성이 있다. 본 연구는 전략적 니치 관리(SNM, Strategic Niche Management) 개념을 적용하여 정부의 신재생에너지 R&D를 단기 성과지향에서 중장기적 성장으로, 에너지시스템의 효율화 중심에서 사회시스템과의 상호교류 중심으로 전환하는 정책실행적 모델을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다층적 관점(MLP, Multi-Level Perspective)을 분석틀로 하여 태양광 기술개발과제가 니치단계에서 사업화 단계로 성장하는 과정을 고찰하였다. 분석결과 박막실리콘과 CIGS의 급속한 발전의 배경에는 개발주체가 과거 메모리 반도체의 NAND와 NOR 간 경쟁에서 사전적 학습효과가 있었다. 이를 통해 니치기술 중 경쟁기술이 존재할수록 학습효과는 더욱 배가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 산업계를 중심으로 학계와 출연연구소가 공동연구를 추진할 때 사업화로 진행되는 가능성이 높았다. 따라서 정부 연구개발의 사업화를 촉진하기 위해서는 과제기획 단계에서 지원대상 발굴시 기존 시장을 확보하고 있는 산업군에서 얻을 수 있는 경험(실패 또는 성공), Network 형성 단계 등의 지식흐름을 검토할 필요가 있음을 제안한다. 본 연구가 구성한 전략적 니치 관리(Strategic Niche Management)의 개념틀은 메타적 차원이며 향후, 실증을 위한 검증과 추가적 정합성 분석으로 구체화 할 것이다.

본 논문은 한국 태양광기업을 대상으로 가치사슬(Value Chain, 이하 VC)과 가치시스템(Value System, 이하 VS)분석을 통해 기업 내 공정 간에 부가가치의 선순환구조가 형성되어 있는지와 산업 내 공정 간에 선순환적 생태계가 구축되어 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구 방법은 기업 설문조사를 실시한 후, VC과 VS 내 공정 간 인과관계에 대해 회귀분석을 하였다. 분석의 결과, 한국 태양광산업의 VC은 정부 R&D지원 증가가 관련 기업 R&D투자 증가로 이어졌고, 기업 R&D투자 증가가 기업 R&D성과 증가에 기여하였으며, R&D성과 증가가 태양광 제품 생산량 증가에 영향을 주었다. 또한 기업의 태양광 생산비용 감소가 매출액 대비 경상이익률 증가에 영향을 주었다. 그러나 기업의 제품 생산량 증가가 제품 생산비용 감소에 기여하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 기업의 매출액 대비 경상이익률 증가가 생산량 증가에는 영향을 주고 있으나, 기업의 R&D투자 증가에는 기여하지 못하고 있는 것으로 나타나 선순환구조에 들어서 있지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 한국 태양광산업의 VS은 태양전지기업의 매출액 대비 경상이익률 증가가 모듈기업의 매출액 대비 경상이익률 증가에만 영향을 줄 뿐, 그 외의 산업 내 모든 공정에서는 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 잉곳 웨이퍼기업, 태양전지기업, 모듈기업, 시스템기업이 상호 협력하여 만들어내야 하는 선순환적 산업생태계가 아직 미완성상태에 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

A solar jacket, which utilizes solar energy for generating electricity, is an example of clothing developed by the fusion of multiple technologies; such fusion of technologies can lead to further developments in the clothing industry and other industries in general. Many research institutes and garment manufacturing companies in Europe and America are developing solar garments; various solar-based products manufactured using solar cells, photovoltaic batteries, etc. are being sold at high prices. The purpose of this study was to investigate the development status of solar garments and their application for generating photovoltaic energy; the study also identified the type of design and upper body clothing preferred by Korean in their early 20s. The survey participants were 188 university students aged between 20 and 25. The design of the proposed six types of solar clothing was evaluated and rated; they were then ranked on the basis of the ratings. A survey on the management of solar garments was conducted, and ratings were assigned according to a 5-point Likert scale, with 5 indicating the strong affirmation. The survey results showed that among the six types of clothing, protective clothing (50%) and sportswear (22%) were more preferable than the others (working clothes (16%), casual clothes (3%), everyday wear(6%), and suits(1%)). Among the six proposed designs, the jumper design (22%) and jean jacket design (21%) were preferred over the others (casual jacket (19%), casual jacket I (15%), classic suit (14%), and climbing jacket (9%)). Factorial analysis of the management of solar garments revealed that the most important factors were the properties of the solar cell and time required for battery charging, and the second important factors were clothing weight and comfort.
