In this paper, the simple analog MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) algorithm is proposed for the solar array of KOMPSAT (Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite). This method doesn't need any calculation of power by multiplication of voltage and current and a measurement of the solar array temperature. It is consist of only two sample and hold circuits, two comparators, a flip-flop, and an integrator. The proposed MPPT algorithm is verified by the simulation for the 100[W] solar array.

The output of solar array is changed non-linearly by variation of insolation and temperature. Hence, as varying insolation and temperature, Maximum Power Point Tracking(WPPT) is necessary to increase generation efficiency of solar array. This paper presented WPPT algorithm using position control of output voltage and current of solar array and implemented hardware MPP tracker which is appropriate and inexpensive for low power system$(tens\~hundreds\;watt)$. Finally, those were verified through simulation.

본 논문에서는 위성체 태양전지의 진동응답을 분석하였다. 태양전지는 복합재료 얇은 벽보와 태양전지 판 및 보조 바로 구성되어 있다. 복합재료 얇은 벽보는 전단 변형, 12차 와핑, 회전 관성과 재료의 방향성 등을 고려해야 한다. 태양전지 판은 z 방향으로 일정한 장력이 가해지는 얇은 막이며 보조 바는 강체 구조물이다. 열적 구배에 따른 구조 변형에 의한 영향을 고려하여 연성된 열적 구조 해석을 수행하였으며, 열적 불안정성 조건이 되는 안정성 기준 인자들을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 수치해석을 통해 장기체공 무인기(HALE UAV)에 사용되는 태양전지에 대해 유동 및 열전달 해석을 수행하였다. 무인기가 운용되는 성층권에서는 강한 태양복사에너지가 유입되며, 자연대류에 의한 열전달이 감소하고 주위 유동에 의한 강제대류의 지배를 받는다. 이러한 환경에서의 태양전지 온도범위를 예측하기 위해 주익에 부착되어 있는 태양전지모듈을 대상으로 복합열전달 해석을 수행하였으며, 성층권 환경에서 시간에 따른 태양복사에너지, 비행속도, 밀도, 온도 등의 외기환경이 태양전지의 온도분포와 열전달 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

A solar array simulator (SAS) consists of an engine that generates a setpoint according to panel characteristics, a power stage that provides the actual output, and a controller. Particularly, if the control method is not suitable due to the nonlinearity of the solar panel output curve depending on the irradiation amount and the temperature, and the variation of the curve factor depending on the various panel materials, then the panel simulation function cannot be performed properly. Current and voltage mode controls are usually used for the conventional control method. However, these control methods deteriorate the control performance near the maximum power point; thus, a hybrid control method using two or more controllers has been investigated. In this study, we analyze the hybrid control method using three controllers divided into different areas. The design equation of the controller is derived based on the small signal modeling of each controller, and the simulation performance of the solar array simulator verifies its stability and response speed.

In this paper, We have simulated the output variation of the PV arrays installation with position & angle change. The existing 3 solar array system are $43^{\circ}$ southeast and each of the mounting angle is $17^{\circ}$. The PV output power is 240 kW. The composite studied systems in this paper arrays altered 2 PV array among 3 PV array system- the output 144kW. We simulated this system using Solar Pro ver.4.1. The simulation conditions are southwest $43^{\circ}/array$, mount angle $27^{\circ}/array$. Because the southeast have shadow effect-higher mountain The purpose of southwest $43^{\circ}$ is reduce the shadow effect. The simulation results of the suggestion design algorithm compared to 1,590 kWh/year output is increased with the southeast.

In the past decades, green energy, such as solar energy, wind power, hydropower, biomass energy, geothermal energy, and so on, has been widely investigated and developed to solve energy shortage. Recently, organic solar cells have attracted much attention, because they have many advantages, including low-cost, flexibility, light weight, and easy fabrication [1-3]. Organic solar cells are as a potential candidate of the next generation solar cells. In this abstract, to improve the power conversion efficiency and the stability, the inverted polymer solar cells with various structures were developed [4-6]. The novel cell structures included the P3HT:PCBM inverted polymer solar cells with AZO nanorods array, with pentacene-doped active layer, and with extra P3HT interfacial layer and PCBM interfacial layer. These three difference structures could respectively improve the performance of the P3HT:PCBM inverted polymer solar cells. For the inverted polymer solar cells with AZO nanorods array as the electronic transportation layer, by using the nanorod structure, the improvement of carrier collection and carrier extraction capabilities could be expected due to an increase in contact area between the nanorod array and the active layer. For the inverted polymer solar cells with pentacene-doped active layer, the hole-electron mobility in the active layer could be balanced by doping pentacene contents. The active layer with the balanced hole-electron mobility could reduce the carrier recombination in the active layers to enhance the photocurrent of the resulting inverted polymer solar cells. For the inverted polymer solar cells with extra P3HT and PCBM interfacial layers, the extra PCBM and P3HT interfacial layers could respectively improve the electron transport and hole transport. The extra PCBM interfacial layer served another function was that led more P3HT moving to the top side of the absorption layer, which reduced the non-continuous pathways of P3HT. It indicated that the recombination centers could be further reduced in the absorption layer. The extra P3HT interfacial layer could let the hole be more easily transported to the MoO3 hole transport layer. The high performance of the novel P3HT:PCBM inverted polymer solar cells with various structures were obtained.

정지궤도에서 운용되는 많은 위성들이 통신방송을 목적으로 하고 있기 때문에 전력 요구량이 크고 이에 따라 대용량의 태양전지판이 필요하다. 최근에는 정지궤도에 통신방송 이외에 기상을 비롯한 지구환경 관측을 목적으로 하는 위성들이 개발되는 추세이다. 이러한 관측 위성의 탑재체는 감지기의 열환경 조건이 매우 중요하기 때문에 열원으로 작용되는 태양전지판을 제거하고 대신에 자세 안정도를 확보하기 위해 붐을 사용한다. 다른 방법으로 모멘텀 용량이 큰 휠을 장착하여 비대칭 태양전지판 형상으로 인해 태양에 의한 외란을 휠이 흡수하는 자세제어 방식을 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 완벽한 비대칭 태양전지판 형상의 천리안위성에서 사용하고 있는 휠배치와 그에 적합한 휠모멘텀조정에 관하여 분석하고 현재 운용되고 있는 텔레메트리를 통해 그 결과를 검증하였다.

With today's global environmental and energy problems, high expectations exist for solar power generation to reduce carbon dioxide generated by the consumption of fossil fuels. On the other hand, power consumption in residential homes is increasing every year. Among the many household appliances, the power demand for air conditioners increases dramatically during the summer, particularly in the afternoons. As this pattern closely matches the output pattern of solar cells, it should be possible to combine a photovoltaic array with an air conditioner to decrease the energy consumption within the home. We have developed a residential solar-powered air conditioner that operates through a combination of photovoltaic array and commercial power. In this paper, the configuration and specification of the residential solar-powered system are described to a novel high efficiency inverter using a ZVCS boost converter. And the performance evaluations of the solar-powered air conditioner are examined by the analysis of a new tracking controller with a maximum power $P_{max}$ detection of solar cell.
