A Concept of Buoyant Hybrid Power Generation System by using Solar Cell Modules and Power Generator in the Sea

태양전지 모듈 및 발전기를 사용한 해상 태양광-풍력 복합발전시스템 개념

A Buoyant Hybrid Power Generation System (BHPGS) described in this paper, is a conceptual approach to a hybrid solar-wind power generation in the near sea. The primary purpose of the BHPGS is given to improve utilization of solar cell modules. Main components of the BHPGS include a solar cell module, buoyant object, power generator, and support assembly including weight. Components such a generator controller, DC/AC converter, etc., are not configured in the current BHPGS because they can easily be purchased as a commercial-off-the-shelf product. In addition, some of the BHPGS applications are discussed.
