Solar cell converts light energy to electric energy. But a solar cell generates low power, PV module is fabricated by connected in series with dozens of solar cell. Owing to solar cell connected in series, power of PV module is influenced by shading or mismatch power of solar cells. To prevent power loss of PV module by shading or mismatch current, Bypass diodes are installed in PV module. Bypass diode operating reverse voltage by shading or mismatch power of solar cells bypass mismatch current. However, bypass diode in module exposed outdoor is easily damaged by surge voltage. In this paper, we confirm characteristics variation of PV module with damaged bypass diode. As a result, power of PV module with damaged bypass diode is reduced and Temperature of that is increased.

Under partial shading condition, the multiple local maxima can be existed on the output characteristics of PV array. In case of the conventional MPPTs (i.e P&O or IncCond), the failure of maximum power point tracking could be occurred under partial shading condition(PSC). The problems are deduced by the analysis of conventional MPPTs. In this paper, a real maximum power point tracking for PV array under partially shaded condition is proposed. And proposed MPPT is analyzed by case study. It is confirmed by simulation results that the proposed MPPT can track the real MPP under partial shading condition.

In this paper, an I-V characteristics of bypass diode has been studied by counting the shading effect in photovoltaic module. The shadow induces hot spot phenomenon in PV module due to the increase of resistance in the current path. Two different types of PV module with and without bypass diode were fabricated to expect maximum output power with an increasing shading rate of 5 % on the solar cell. Temperature distribution is also detected by shading the whole solar cell for the outdoor test. From the result, the bypass diode works properly over 60 % of shading per cell with constant output power. Maximum power generation in case of solar cell being totally shaded with bypass diode decreases 41.3 % compared with the one under STC(Standard Test Condition). On the other hand, the maximum output power of the module without bypass diode gradually decreases by showing hot spot phenomenon with the increase of shading ratio on the cell and finally indicates 95.5 % of power loss compared with the output under STC. Finally the module temperature measured increases around $10^{\circ}C$ higher than that under STC due to hot-spots which come from the condition without bypass diode. It has been therefore one of the main reasons for degrading the PV module and shortening the durability of the PV system.

A photovoltaic (PV) system generates electricity by installing a solar energy array; therefore, the photovoltaic system can be easily exposed to external factors, which include environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and radiation. These factors-as well as shading, in particular-lead to power degradation. When there is an output loss in the solar cell of a PV module package, the output loss is partly controlled by the bypass diode. As solar cells become highly efficient, the characteristics of series resistance and parallel resistance improve, and the characteristics of reverse voltage change. A bypass diode is connected in parallel to the string that is connected in series to the PV module. Ideally, the bypass diode operates when the voltage is -0.6[V] around. This study examines the bypass diode operating time for different types of crystalline solar cells. It compares the reverse voltage characteristics between the single solar cell and polycrystalline solar cell. Special modules were produced for the experiment. The shading rate of the solar cell in the specially made solar energy module was raised by 5% each time to confirm that the bypass diode was operating. The operation of the bypass diode is affected not only by the reverse voltage but also by the forward bias. This tendency was verified as the number of strings increased.

Unlike photovoltaic systems installed on land, photovoltaic systems applied to the offshore plant have the characteristic that is installed in a limited space. For single point mooring plant, it is advantageous in terms of a reliable power supply to be installed in different directions of photovoltaic panels, because it is not possible to identify the position of the sun by rotation of the plant itself. Differences of installation angle between photovoltaic panels make a difference of the intensity of radiation irradiated on each photovoltaic panel, and it brings loss of generation quantity due to the partial shading. In order to provide a photovoltaic system suitable for offshore plant, the modeling which contains multiple photovoltaic panels controlled by single controller is performed. Then, it was examined how the output characteristics of the photovoltaic system change about the difference of the intensity of radiation that varies depending on the altitude of the sun. Finally, through the simulation, a development model of the photovoltaic system which is suitable for offshore plant is suggested.

Enhancement of exterior's insulation performance like wall or window etc. is general way for building's energy efficient and thermal performance. But exterior's opening plan is important for minimizing the energy consumption and heat loss. In this paper, energy saving rate will be analyzed and compared considering the window area's rate and window's SC(Shading Coefficient) in a apartment with Building Energy Efficiency Rating System's evaluation tool. In the process of evaluation, energy saving rate is measured at each stage of the window area's rate from 20% to 60% every 10% term and the shading coefficient value from 1.0 to 0.6. As a result of this research, energy saving evaluation could not be measured exactly with existing evaluation tool. Accord this research, Building Energy Rating System's evaluation range is needed to be broaden for exact evaluation of energy saving rate.

Although recently revised building code requires 15~20% increased thermal insulation performance for window systems, since the code is focusing on winter heat loss, it is not satisfactory to contribute on reducing rapidly rising cooling load in summer. Window systems have great impact on building heat gain and loss. Therefore technological development for window system specialized in shading solar gain in summer is an urgent matter. This study evaluates the performance of sun shading and thermal insulation for blind integrated window system. Also, computer simulation evaluates the effect of heating and cooling energy consumption reduction for an individual unit(floor area of $85m^2$) of a multi-family housing. Physibel Voltra, a heat transfer analysis software, was used to analyse the effect of energy consumption reduction, and the energy load was converted to the cost to compare the actual effect of economical benefit.

자작나무, 박달나무, 느티나무, 산벚나무, 고로쇠나무 1년생 유묘에 5수준의 인공피음처리를 실시하면서 이들의 수분특성에 미치는 피음의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 P-V curve에 의한 분석을 실시하였다. 최대 팽압 하에서의 osmotic potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$)은 전광처리구에서 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 -1.04~-1.27MPa, -1.03~-1.48MPa, -0.94~-1.44MPa(1차 연도), -0.90~-1.37MPa, -1.05~-1.79MPa, -0.99~-1.30 MPa(2차 연도)의 범위에서 수종이나 계절에 따라 변화를 보였다. 최대 팽압 하에서의 osmotic potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$)은 전기간을 통해 조사된 모든 수종에서 전광 처리구(A)는 -0.90~-1.79MPa, 강피음구(E)는 -0.58~1.23MPa의 범위 내에서 피음수준이 높아지면서 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 초기위조점에서 측정된 수분 potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$)은 전광 처리구(A)에서 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 -1.64~-2.11MPa, -1.67~-2.15MPa, 1.47~-2.11MPa(1차 연도)과 -1.45~-2.04MPa, -1.30~-2.00MPa, -1.28~-2.33MPa(2차 연도)의 범위 내에서 변화를 보였다. ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치 대부분은 ${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$ 측정치에 비해서 약 0.5MPa 정도의 낮은 값을 보였다. ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치 또한 피음처리를 강하게 할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 피음처리에 따른 ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치의 차이는 수종이나 생육시기에 따라 일부 예외는 있지만 일반적으로 ${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$ 측정치에서의 차이보다는 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 최대팽압에서와 마찬가지로 초기위조점에서의 osmotic potential 측정치 대부분은 6월이나 9월에 비해 7월에 측정된 값이 다소 낮은 값을 보였다. 초기위조점에서의 상대수분함량(RWCp)은 전광조건에서 1차 연도 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 81~88%, 71~86%, 75~84%, 2차연도에는 82~87%, 72~84%, 76~86%로 연도별 차이가 별로 크지 않은 비슷한 범위 내에 있었다. 고로쇠나무, 산벚나무에서의 상대수분함량은 자작나무 박달나무, 느티나무에 비해 다소 높은 값을 보였다. RWCp 또한 전광조건(A)에서는 71~88%, 강피음구(E)에서는 48~77%까지로 대부분 피음처리 수준이 강할수록 감소하는 변화를 나타냈다. 비록 수종이나 계절에 따라 일부 예외는 있지만 몇 가지 P-V 모수들의 변화에 미치는 피음효과는 본 연구에서 분명하게 확인할 수 있었다. 피음처리에 따른 P-V 모수들의 변화는 전해질의 축적, 세포막의 탄성, 세포액 등에서의 변화 등과 관련지어 추론될 수 있다. 그러나 P-V 모수들의 변화에 미치는 피음효과에 대한 생리적인 기작에 대하여 상세한 정보를 얻기 위해서는 반드시 더 많은 실험이 계속되어야만 할 것이다.

The screen-printing method is the most mature solar cell fabrication technology, which has the advantage of being faster and simpler process than other printing technology. A front metallization printed through screen printing influences the efficiency and manufacturing cost of solar cell. Recent technology development of crystalline silicon solar cell is proceeding to reduce the manufacturing cost while improving the efficiency. Therefore, screen printing requires process development to reduce a line width of an electrode and decrease shading area. In this paper, we will discuss the development trend and prospects of screen-printing metallization using metal paste, which is currently used in manufacturing commercial crystalline silicon solar cells.
