Heliostat in the tower type solar thermal power plant is a sun tracking mirror system to reflect the solar energy to the receiver and the optical performance of it affects to the efficiency of whole power plant most significantly. Thus a proper design of structure of the heliostat reflective surface could be the most important step in the construction of such power plant. The work presented here is a design of structure of optical surface of heliostat, which will be used in 200kW solar thermal power plant. The receiver located at 43(m) high from ground in tower has $2{\times}2$(m) rectangular shape. We first developed the software tool to simulate the energy concentration characteristics of heliostat using the ray tracing technique. Then, the shape of heliostat reflective surface is designed with the consideration of heliostat's energy concentration characteristics, production cost and productivity. The designed heliostat's reflective surface has a structure formed by canting four of $1{\times}1$(m) rectangular flat plate mirror facet and the center of each mirror facet is located on the spherical surface, where the spherical surface is formulated by the mirror facet mounting frame.

Recently, there are a number of studies over dynamic analysis for minimizing vibration of flexible structures such as solar panel for agility of high-agility satellite. The traditional studies perform dynamic analysis of a solar panel assumed as rigid structure since the stiffness of solar panel is higher than the stiffness of solar panel's hinge spring. However, there are vibrations that have modes of bending and torsion when high-agility satellite rotate speedily. This vibrations result in delaying safety time of satellite or degrading image quality. This paper presents dynamic analysis's technique of satellites including the spring hinge of solar panel and flexible structural solar panel's effects described as the linear equation of motion using Lagrange's theorem, and verifies the validity of an established dynamic analysis's technique of satellites by comparing the finite element method. In addition high-agility satellite's dynamic characteristics of a torque profile are analyzed from the established dynamic analysis's technique of satellites.

이 연구에서는 다층 서답형 문항을 이용하여 태양계 구조에 대한 학습 발달과정을 개발하고 그 타당성을 검증하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 Wilson(2005)이 제안한 구인 모델링 방식을 적용하여 '태양계 구성원', '태양계 행성의 크기와 거리의 경향성', '태양계 모델링'을 발달 변인(progress variables)으로 설정하고 각각에 대한 다층 서답형 문항을 개발하여 검사지로 구성하였다. 개발된 문항을 초등학교 5학년 150명을 대상으로 '태양계와 별' 단원 수업의 사전 및 사후에 적용하였다. 평가 결과를 기술하기 위해 각각의 평가 문항에 대한 학생 응답을 범주화 하는 과정을 거쳤으며, 이범주들을 구인별로 5개 수준으로 분류하였다. Rasch 모델의 부분점수 모형을 적용하여 작성된 Wright map을 분석함으로써 학생들의 응답 결과를 기반으로 작성된 학습 발달과정의 수준이 적절한지 검토하였다. 또한, 수업 전후 학생들의 수준 변화를 추적함으로써 학습 발달과정에서 설정한 가설적인 경로의 타당성을 검증하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다: 다층 서답형 문항을 이용한 상향식 연구방법으로 초등학교에 적용할 수 있는 태양계 구조에 대한 경험적 학습 발달과정을 정교하게 설정할 수 있었다. 그리고 학습 발달과정의 구인 타당도가 높게 나타나며 학생들의 발달이 학습 발달과정을 따라 변화하는 것으로 나타났다.

Concentrated Solar Photovoltaic (CPV) is a promising alternative to conventional solar structures. These solar tracking structures need to be optimized to be competitive against other types of energy production. In particular, the selection of the structural parameters needs to be optimized with regards to the dynamic wind response. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the main structural parameters, as selected in the preliminary design phase, on the wind response and then on the weight of the steel support structure. A parametric study has been performed where parameters influencing dynamic wind response are varied. The study is performed using a semi-deterministic time-domain wind analysis method. Unsteady aerodynamic model is applied for the shape of the CPV structure collector at different configurations in conjunction with a consistent mass-spring-damper model with the corresponding degrees of freedom to describe the dynamic response of the system. It is shown that, unlike the static response analysis, the variation of the peak wind response with many structural parameters is highly nonlinear because of the dynamic wind action. A steel structural optimization process reveals that close attention to structural and site wind parameters could lead to optimal design of CPV steel support structure.

In the present work a time-dependent reliability model for a typical solar domestic hot water and heating system is developed using the method of Fault Tree Analysis and existing mathematical techniques. The reference system used in this analysis is a typical solar heating system. The system reliability structure has been identified with the aid of Fault Tree methods. In addition, a simulation of the solar system reliability has been performed employing the Monte Carlo method. In the computer simulation, failure rate data such as WASH-1400, MIL-HDBK-217B, and Green and Bourne are used as input data. These results show that the developed reliability model is capable of expressing the primary failure phenomena of the solar heating and domestic hot water system.

A standalone LED lighting system in using solar energy has been used usually less than 70W of lighting power because of a troublesome installation and maintenance. In this system, as more and more LED lighting power increases, the capacity of photovoltaic panel does proportionally, and to improve the charging efficiency of solar energy, MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) techniques is used frequently, but the solar tracker is not. In this paper, a solar tracker which traces the light of the sun in varying hour to hour is studied to apply to the standalone LED lighting system. This solar tracker consists of twin axis for tracing the azimuth and altitude respectively, and it has a robust structure with safe mode to stand a strong wind. As a result of analysis, generating efficiency of the traced type has improved on the fixed one 28.84% on average.

A photovoltaic system is getting the spotlight for a environment-friendly energy source. But its location is limited because a lot of land is necessary for photovoltaic arrays. Nevertheless, its dissemination is rapidly increasing more than 40 % every year and exceeded about 400 MW in 2009. The radical growth of a photovoltaic system aggravated a lack of sites, so that forests and farmland were destroyed. It is demanded to make use of a vacant lot or little piece of land for the way to solve the lack of sites and improve the location requirements for a photovoltaic system. General photovoltaic arrays are consist of a single layer structure and needs enough separation distances to maximize the amount of solar radiation and to eliminate influences by the shadow of other arrays. So that a large amount of land is required for the site. The solar cell arrays with long separation distances can not be placed in a small vacant lot and its site application efficiency is low. This study optimized photovoltaic arrays as multilayered structure with movable sleeves for the efficient photovoltaic in a small site. The existing photovoltaic arrays with a single layer structure were fixed or tracking systems. In this experimental equipment, photovoltaic arrays attached to the multilayers have rectilinear movement and rotary motion using sleeves. Therefore, shadow influences were removed and the generation capacity was improved. On the simulation result, generation increased by about 30% in the same site considering shadow influences and so on.

세계적인 탄소 중립에 동참하고자, 대한민국 정부에서도 '녹색건축물 조성 지원 법' 시행령을 통해 2030년까지 모든 건축물에 대해 제로에너지 건축물 인증을 진행할 계획에 있다. 이에 따라 국가적으로도 비교적 생활 밀접 접근성이 좋은 태양광 발전과 관련한 여러 사업을 지원하고 있다. 특히 지붕 설치형 태양광 발전 시스템의 경우 환경 파괴 없이 유휴 공간을 활용하여 에너지를 생산한다는 측면에서 주목받고 있지만, 다른 태양광 발전 설비 대비 낮은 발전효율이 단점으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 부분을 해소하고자, 단축형 태양광 추적을 위한 태양광 패널 구조물에 관한 연구를 통해 효율적인 태양광 패널 각도 가변 시스템을 제안하고 더불어 지붕 설치형 태양광 발전 시스템의 적용 환경을 고려해 태양광 패널의 파손 및 2차 피해 예방을 위한 방안을 제안한다. 더불어 ICT 융합을 통해 태양광 패널을 제어, 사고 예측 안전 시스템 구성을 프로젝트 기반의 교육 프로그램 연계 구성이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
