This paper deal with a necessary factors for design grid connected photovoltaic system with stand-alone operation, and show simulation results of individual functions and multi- operation according to utility condition. Generally, photovoltaic system have only one operation of either stand-alone or line interactive, and have a isolation transformer for electrical isolation from utility therefore it is bulky, weighty, and a high price system as compared with usefulness. In this paper, A topology and algorithm adequate for lightweight, high efficiency, low price, multi function is selected and inquired into the validity using simulation of variable conditions.

This paper presents a current-source-inverter based on a buck-boost configuration and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The proposed circuit has five switches. Among them, only one switch acts as chopping, and the other determine the polarity of output; therefore, it can reduce the switching loss. Because the input inductor current is operated on the discontinuous conduction mode, high power factor can be achieved without additional input current controller. So the overall system shows a simple structure. The operational modes are analysed in depth, and then it was verified through the experimental results using a 150 W prototype.

For the development of a floating photovoltaic system, materials with light weight and high tensile strength must be applied to reduce the burden on buoyancy, and material characteristics with high resistance to corrosion in water environment is required. Accordingly, a new high strength steel material with improved strength, durability, manufacturability, and weldability that are appropriate for floating photovoltaic system structures is needed. This paper reports the results of a mechanical load test and steel corrosion test on general steel (SS400) and high strength steel (POSH 690) for the selection of an appropriate steel material for a floating photovoltaic system. The results of a test on new high strength steel revealed excellent mechanical performance compared to general steel. The new steel material was manufactured for use in an actual site, and the weight was reduced by approximately 30~40% compared to existing general steel.

The photovoltaic modules have each maximum power point, which depending on the intensity of sunlight, modules temperature and etc. Cuk converter is used to obtain the maximum charging power from photovoltaic modules to storage batteries. This paper proposed to a new tracking control method by detecting its current and voltage in photovoltaic power generation system controlled by microprocessor, in order to operate at the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) even if the sunlight and the temperature are varied.

Photovoltaic system construction of the module capacity in domestic is specified criteria to less than 105% of the inverter capacity. However, the modules are installed in the outdoor actual output is reduced due to factors such as the irradiation intensity, module surface temperature. Thus, it needs the capacity of the inverter to be designed according to the actual module output. In this paper, the first approach to find the actual module output is to analyze the actual PV system monitoring data. Next, four sites where the loss analysis, system utilization, inverter utilization, and the ratio of the inverter overload are performed using PVSYST software. By changing the ratio of the module capacity, the inverter capacity of the site B is confirmed 20% less than the module capacity. Site A, C, D are identified as the ratio of the inverter capacity is 10% less than the module capacity.

The photovoltaic is one of the most important sustainable technologies appliable to architectures. The power performance mainly depends on the installation conditions of them. This study aims to evaluate the power performance of photovoltaic system by the installation conditions, the tracking methods and reflecting mirrors. For the study, the Solar Pro computer simulations have been conducted on installation angles, solar azimuth and solar altitude. Also, the field mock-up tests are performed to of its application to verify the simulation results. Both the results of the experiment and the simulation have proved that the efficiency of 90-degree fixed angle method was higher than that of 30-degree fixed angle, the efficiency of altitude tracking was better than that of azimuth tracking method, and changing both the altitude and the azimuth together is more efficient rather than the shortened tracing way. In addition, the light-concentrating method in which the incidence angle of the sun is controlled by an adhered reflector has been analyzed to have better efficiency than the general method of tracing according to the orbit of the sun. Therefore, this thesis is expected to offer the basic data to set a more effective tracing-type of photovoltaic power generation system in the future. For this, more researches are to be conducted hereafter on a high efficiency drive motor and the establishment of an economic system.

Recently, fault detection and diagnosis techniques have been significantly considered to reduce possible economic loss due to faulty in photovoltaic power systems. This paper presents a new fault location diagnosis method for photovoltaic power systems. The proposed algorithm compares the output voltage generated from a photovoltaic array to the outputs of its neighboring arrays. This concept is realized by obtaining error voltages among all arrays, which are simply defined by deviation between its neighboring arrays. We accomplish a real-time experiment to demonstrate reliability of the proposed fault location diagnosis by using a 60W photovoltaic power system test-bed.

c-Si wafer에 HWCVD로 증착된 a-Si:H 박막은 초기에 낮은 passivation 특성을 가지나 열처리 공정을 통해 효과적인 passivation을 가진다. 열처리 공정은 온도와 시간에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 이에 열선CVD를 이용하여 n type의 c-Si 기판에 a-Si:H을 증착하여 열처리 온도에 따른 Minority carrier Lifetime를 QSSPC를 통해 passivation 특성을 측정하였다. 온도는 $150^{\circ}C{\sim}270^{\circ}C$로 변화하여 측정하였다. 또한 열처리 시간을 10분씩 증가시켜 열처리 시간에 따른 passivation을 연구, 1ms에 이르는 Minority carrier lifetime을 얻었다.
