Abstract

The solar cell need the characteristic interpreting because the solar cell changes greatly according to the isolation, temperature and load in the photovoltaic development. Moreover, to get many energy in photovoltaic development need the position tracking of the sun according to the environment change. Also, The solar cells should be operated at the maximum power point. In this paper, I used microprocessor and sensor and designed to improve the efficiency of the photovoltaic system the photovoltaic position tracker device, and compared the normal photovoltaic system of fixed form with the photovoltaic system of solar position tracked form. Moreover, compared the catalogue of solar cell module and the simulation through a mathematics modelling with the solar cell's characteristic interpreting and composed an power conversion system with boost converter and voltage source inverter. Used the constant voltage control method for maximum power point tracking in boost converter control and, used the SPWM(Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) control method in inverter control. The result was less then 5% when compared the catalogue of solar cell module and the simulation through a mathematics modelling. The boost rate of boost converter was similar to 167 % with the simulation.

태양광 발전에 있어서 태양전지는 일사량, 온도와 부하에 의해 크게 변동하기 때문에 태양전지에 대한 특성 해석이 필요하다. 또한 태양광 발전에 있어서 가능한 많은 에너지를 얻기 위해서는 환경변화에 따른 태양의 위치추적이 필요하며 태양전지의 출력을 항상 최대로 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 발전의 효율을 높이기 위하여 센서와 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 태양광 위치추적 장치를 설계하여 고정방식의 태양광 발전과 위치 추적 방식의 태양광 발전에 대하여 비교해 보았으며, 태양전지에 대한 특성 해석과 수학적 모델링을 통한 시뮬레이션을 행하여 태양전지 특성 사양과 비교해 보았다. 또한 전력변환 시스템을 Boost 컨버터와 전압형 인버터로 구성하여 각각에 대하여 실험하였으며, Boost 컨버터 제어에서 최대 전력점 추적을 위해 일정전압 제어법을 사용하였으며 인버터의 제어에서는 SPWM(Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) 제어법을 사용하여 실험해 보았다. 그 결과 태양전지 수학적 모델링 한 것의 시뮬레이션 결과와 태양전지 특성 사양과 비교하였을 때 5%이하의 오차를 보였으며. Boost 컨버터의 승압율은 167%로 시뮬레이션 한 것과 근사적으로 나타났고, 인버터는 시뮬레이션 한 것과 근사적 파형을 얻었으나 손실이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
