태양전지의 전극형성은 전지의 가격과 성능 그리고 시스댐의 신뢰성을 결정하는데 매우 중요한 변수이다. 기폰의 스크련 프린팅 기술은 전면전극에 냐쁜 영향을 미치는 여러가지 제약들을 가지고 었다. 전극함몰형 태양전지는 기존의 전극에서 발생하는 문제점을 극복하고 저가격 대량생산을 위해서 고안된 것이다. 본 논문에서는 무전해 도금방법을 사용하여 함몰형 전지의 전극을 형성하는 공정을 최적화함으로써 값싸고 재현성있게 전지를 제조할 수 있었다. 무전해 도금용액으로는 상엽적으로 사용되는 니켈, 구리, 은 용액을 사용하었으며, 전지의 효울 을 최고 18.8 %까지 얻었다. 이때 전지의 개방전압은 651 mV, 단락전류밀도는 37.1 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 충실도는 77.8 % 었으며 배치에서 90 % 이상의 전지가 18 % 이상의 효율을 나타내었다.

To produce low cost and efficient photovoltaic cells, inorganic-organic lead halide perovskite materials appear promising for most suitable solar cells owing to their high power conversion efficiency. Most recent research showes that formamidinium lead iodide ($FAPbI_3$) with methylammonium lead bromide ($MAPbBr_3$) improves the power conversion efficiency of the solar cell to more than 18 per cent under a standard illumination because incorporated $MAPbBr_3$ makes $FAPbI_3$-relatively unstable but comparatively narrow band gap-more stable composition. In respect to first principle study, we investigated band gap of $MAPbI_3$, $FAPbI_3$, $MAPbBr_3$, $(FAPbI_3)_{0.89}-(MAPbBr_3)_{0.11}$ and 0.615(eV), 0.466, 1.197, 0.518 respectively through EDISON DFT software. These results emphasize enhancing structure stability is important factor as well as finding narrow band gap.

We analysed perovskite $CH_3NH_3PbI_{3-x}Cl_x$ inverted planer structure solar cell with nickel oxide (NiO) and spiroMeOTAD as hole conductors. This structure is free from electron transport layer. The thickness is optimized for NiO and spiro-MeOTAD hole conducting materials and the devices do not exhibit any significant variation for both hole transport materials. The back metal contact work function is varied for NiO hole conductor and observed that Ni and Co metals may be suitable back contacts for efficient carrier dynamics. The solar photovoltaic response showed a linear decrease in efficiency with increasing temperature. The electron affinity and band gap of transparent conducting oxide and NiO layers are varied to understand their impact on conduction and valence band offsets. A range of suitable band gap and electron affinity values are found essential for efficient device performance.

This paper proposes the fuzzy PI controller for maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of photovoltaic system. The output characteristics of the solar cell are a nonlinear and affected by a temperature, the solar radiation. The MPPT control is a very important technique in order to increase an output and efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The conventional perturbation and observation(PO) and incremental conductance(IC) are the method which finding maximum power point(MPP) by the continued self-excitation vibration, and uses the fixed step size. If the fixed step size is a large, the tracking speed of maximum power point is faster, but the tracking accuracy in the steady state is decreased. On the contrary, when the fixed step size is a small, the tracking accuracy is increased and the tracking speed is slower. Therefore, this paper proposes the MPPT control using the fuzzy PI controller that can be improve a MPPT control performance. The fuzzy PI controller is adjusted a input of PI controller by fuzzy control and compensated a cumulative error of fuzzy control by PI controller. The fuzzy PI MPPT control is compared to conventional PO and IC MPPT method for various temperature and radiation condition. This paper proves the validity of the fuzzy PI controller using these results.

본 논문에서는 하나의 태양광 모듈에 대한 전력 변환기인 마이크로 컨버터의 개발을 목표로 하고 있다. 중앙집중형 태양광발전시스템이 부분적인 음영에 의해서 성능저하가 발생하는데 반해 단일 태양광모듈의 전력변환기는 태양광모듈의 발전량을 최대화 할 수 있다. 전력 변환기는 지속적으로 각 모듈의 최대 전력 점을 추적하여 태양 광 발전 시스템의 에너지 출력을 증가시킨다. 태양광 전력 변환기의 반도체 스위치 및 외부 장치의 수를 최소화하고, 또한 동기 정류기를 사용하여, 320W급의 태양광 마이크로 컨버터를 개발하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험에 적용하여 효율성을 검증하였다.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are a new class of photovoltaic devices, which have attracted significant attention due to their remarkable optoelectrical properties, including high absorption coefficients, high carrier mobilities, long carrier diffusion lengths, tunable bandgaps, low cost, and facile fabrication. PSCs have reached efficiencies of 22.70% and 18.36% on rigid fluorine-doped tin oxide and poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates, respectively; these are comparable to those of single-crystal silicon and copper-indium-gallium-selenium solar cells. Over the past eight years, the photo conversion efficiency of PSCs has been significantly improved by device-architecture adjustments, and absorber and electron/hole transport layer optimization. Each layer is important for the performance of PSCs; hence, we discuss achievements in flexible perovskite solar cells (FPSCs), covering electron/hole-transport materials, electrode materials. We give a comprehensive overview of FPSCs and put forward suggestions for their further development.

The present study aims to determine the optimized shape for the maximum electric energy production of building integrated photovoltaic system (BIPV) noise barrier through numerical analysis. The shape of BIPV noise barrier is one of the important factors in determining angle difference between direction vector of the sun and normal vector of the sound barrier surface. This study simulated numerically the flow and thermal fields for different angles in the range from $90^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$, and from the results, the amount of isolation onto noise barrier surface was estimated along the angle between ground and top side of noise barrier. The commercial CFD code (Fluent V. 13.0) was used for calculation. It was found that the maximum amount of insolation per unit area was 19.6 MJ for $105^{\circ}$ case during a day in summer and was estimated 12.4 MJ in $150^{\circ}$ case during a day in winter. The results of the summer and winter cases showed the different tendency and this result would be useful in determining the appropriate shape of noise barrier which can be mounted under various circumstances.

This paper proposes a novel hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm combining a Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and the conventional Perturb & Observation (P&O) to track/extract the highest amount of power from a solar photovoltaic (SPV) system working under partial shading conditions (PSCs). The proposed hybrid algorithm is based on a WOA which predicts the initial global peak (GP) and is followed by P&O in the final stage to achieve a quicker convergence to a GP. Thus, this hybrid algorithm overcomes the computational burden encountered in a standalone WOA, grey wolf optimization (GWO) and hybrid GWO reported in the literature. The conventional algorithm searches for the maximum power point (MPP) in the predicted region by the WOA. The proposed MPPT technique is modelled and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink for simulating an environment to check its effectiveness in accurately tracking the MPP during the GP region. This hybrid algorithm is compared with a standalone WOA, GWO and hybrid GWO. From the simulating results, it is shown that the proposed algorithm offers high tracking performance and that it increases the output power level of a SPV system under partial shading. The algorithm also verified experimentally on various PSCs.

The effect of the addition of ionic liquids with four different cations (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium, piperidinium and pyridinium) on the performance of dye-sensitized $TiO_2$ solar cells based on electrolytes containing a t-butylpyridine (TBP) in 3-methoxypropionitrile (MPN) was studied. A total of 18 ionic liquids with mono-, di- and tri-alkyl derivatives were used in the present study, and among them a pyridinium cation with a mono-alkyl group showed better cell efficiency than the others. The best photoelectric conversion efficiency, 7.213%, was obtained using 1-hexylpyridinium iodide with an open-circuit photovoltage ($V_{oc}$) = 0.731 V, a short-circuit photocurrent density ($J_{sc}$) = 16.175 $mA/cm^2$, and a fill factor (ff) = 0.610 under AM1.5 and 100 $mW/cm^2$ illumination.

방위별에 따라 경사면에 입사되는 일사량은 태양에너지 수집장치인 태양열집열기나 태양열온수기, 그리고 태양전지판 설치와 태양열 주택이나 건물 설계시에 매우 중요한 자료로 널리 이용되고 있다. 이는 시스템 설치각도나 설치방향에 의해서 시스템의 수열면에 일사량을 최대로 받게 하는 것이 태양에너지 이용시스템의 성능에 크게 좌우되기 되기 때문이다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 중요성을 감안하여 태양행로에 대한 이론적인 고찰과 실측실험을 통하여 이에 적합한 전문가시스템 모형을 개발하고, 우리나라 주요 지역별에 따라 최대 일사량을 받을 수 있는 경사각도를 산출하여 해당 지역에 적합한 시스템의 최적 설계기준을 제시하고자 한다.
