태양광발전 추적시스템은 태양이 항상 법선을 이루면서 태양전지 모듈에 입사되게 하는 방법으로 태양광발전시스템의 발전 효율을 향상하기 위해서는 정확하게 태양을 추적하기 위한 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 One-sensor방식을 채택하여 기능성을 그대로 유지하고, Sensor의 수를 감소시켜 비용을 절감하였다.

염료 감응형 태양전지(DSSC)의 개발 이후 많은 연구와 실험이 상용화를 위한 대면적화에 중점을 두고 진행되고 있다. 대면적화에 대한 대부분의 연구에서 그리드 전극을 넣고 내부적으로 직, 병렬 구조를 조합해 확장 시키는 방법을 채택하고 있지만, 그리드 전극을 넣음으로써 발생하는 손실, 즉 실링 공정의 어려움으로 발생하는 전자의 손실과 제작 공정상에 있어서의 복잡한 절차 및 그에 따라 소요되는 시간 등을 감안할 때 이는 그리 효과적이지 못하다고 할 수 있다. 면적이 작은 여러 셀을 외부에서 연결시켜 대면적화 시켰을 때 그 효과에 대해서 알아보고, 동일한 면적의 대면적화 된 단일 셀과 비교, 그 결과를 분석해 보았다. 그 결과, 우리는 동일한 면적을 가지고 있는 대면적의 단일 셀보다 여러 셀의 병렬 조합으로 이루어진 것이 더 좋은 결과를 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 유효면적 $8cm^2$을 가지는 셀을 외부적으로 연결시켜 대면적화 시켰을 때 그 효과에 대해서 알아보고 실험하였다. 하나의 모듈을 만들기 위해 직 병렬의 다양한 조합을 시도하여 직렬 연결이 많이 된 모듈일수록 이를 다시 병렬로 연결했을 때 전류의 손실을 많이 줄일 수 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

In this work, we consider the fabrication method and electrical characteristics of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), which use titanium (Ti) metal thin films to replace expensive fluorine tin oxide (FTO) electrodes. The thickness of the Ti thin film was changed by adjusting the deposition time of the Ti, and the surface resistance decreased as the thickness of the Ti thin film became thicker. The thickness of the Ti thin film was shown to be similar to the surface resistance of the FTO thin film at approximately 190nm and the DSSC with a thickness of approximately 250nm showed the highest energy conversion efficiency of 4.24%. Furthermore, the possibility of commercialization was confirmed by fabricating and evaluating the DSSC module.

A Photovoltaic power streetlight is a system that uses solar energy to charge a secondary battery and then uses it for night lighting through a lamp, and can be configured as a standalone or grid-connected type by installing an LED streetlight at the load end. The energy generated through the solar cell module can be charged to the secondary battery through the charge/discharge control device, and then the LED street light can be turned on and off by comparing the power generation voltage and the charging voltage according to the monitoring of solar radiation, or by setting a specific time after sunset or sunrise. Based on these contents, this paper designed and manufactured a simulated solar power streetlight for education using new and renewable energy utilization and storage functions. Using these educational equipment, students can 1) understand the flow of energy change using renewable energy including sunlight as electric energy, 2) understand new and renewable energy, and cultivate basic design and manufacturing application power of related products, 3) The use of new and renewable energy through power conversion and strengthening of practical training and analysis through hardware production can be instilled.

In this study, the outdoor evaluation test was performed to characterize the highly-reflective artificial grass to be used for bifacial photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. The 60-cell n-type Si monofacial and bifacial PV modules were employed, where two types of bifacial modules were equipped with split-type and box-type junction boxes, respectively. The results showed that the split-type junction box improved the rear-side power production and thus energy yield of bifacial module compared to the box-type junction box causing the shadow effect. Highly-reflective artificial grass achieved relatively high albedo of 0.18, and excellent bifacial gain of 33%, compared to conventional artificial grass with an albedo of 0.14-0.15, and bifacial gain of 29-30%.

String & tabbing step in the crystalline PV module manufacturing process for the temperature directly affects solar cells. In fact, in the manufacture of PV modules tend to be temperature factor and the corresponding changes n the output shows the same characteristics. In this journal, it will be considered about thermal characteristics, especially changes of characteristic in high temperature of the solar cell through experiment that we measure electric output characteristics of solar cells after those are applied with high temperature changes for two seconds. And we can think about the possibility of efficiency improvements over looks in PV module manufacturing processes.

There are some degradation factors for amorphous silicon solar cells. Light inducing is one of the factor that explained by Staebler-Wronski effect. Also, hotspot heating could be the reason that makes amorphous silicon solar cell degrade. Hotspot heating is occurred when a solar cell is shaded so this work is investigated into two types of shading condition and how these affect to solar cell differently. Reduced irradiance for whole cell and partially shaded as 0($W/m^2$) while the other part of cell is soaking as 1000($W/m^2$) of irradiance are two conditions that are experimented. The two types of shading show different characteristics of degradations. The result shows that partially shaded cell dropped maximum powerless and slower. Also sudden drop points have shown that should be concerned to decide the number of cells for a string. Otherwise, the current through a shaded cell might flow more than cell's capability. It makes cell and module damaged. This work would help to manufacture modules.

In this paper, we introduce the status of concentration photovoltaic system. Currently, crystalline silicon solar has 90% of total solar market. But in a few years, the concentration solar system is expected to be main one because cost increasement of silicon material is not stabilized unit now. At 2012, it will take 5% of the whole solar market. Less expensive, material requirement and high system efficiency give high driving force for intensive research on concentration system. It is time for us to initiate the basic study and evaluate the long term stability compared to crystalline silicon system. The detail discussion will be shown in the following paper.

In this paper, I suggested the energy flexibility for photovoltaic energy. The cost for PV is surely high. But renewable energy is an one of the key solution for next energy resource. The latest technology needs more electricity. So many people are carrying more mobile charge in their batteries. Looking at the poor country people and nation, it is necessary to supply and share the advanced energy resources like photo voltaic. So in this open seminary I want to share the idea for this theme. The detail discussion will be shown in the following paper.

국제적으로 해운분야 등 온실가스 배출량 규제를 강화하고 있으며, 정부에서도 '저탄소 녹색성장'을 위한 신재생 에너지 비율을 확대 추진함에 따라 육상 녹색성장을 위한 시도는 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 친환경 에너지를 선박에 이용한 노력은 부족한 실정이다. 또한 현재까지 연구된 태양광 시스템의 경우 기존 선박의 동력을 대체하여 추진용으로 사용하기에는 실용성이 없으므로, 기존 선박 발전시스템을 연계한 태양광 하이브리드 발전시스템의 연구개발이 필요하며, 따라서 태양광을 선박용 에너지로 활용하기 위한 선박용 하이브리드 발전 시스템 개념 설계 및 설치 기준에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.
