PID (potential induced degradation) of PV module is the degradation of module due to the high potential difference between the front surface of solar cells and ground when PV modules operate under high humidity and temperature conditions. PID is generally derived from the positive sodium ions in front glass that are accumulated on P-type solar cells. Therefore, some papers for the electrical characteristic of only front components as glass, EVA sheet, solar cell under PID generation condition were revealed. In this paper, we analyzed the different outputs of module with PID by considering the all parts of module including the back side elements such as glass, back sheet. Mini modules with one solar cell were fabricated with the various parts on front and back sided of module. To generate PID of module in a short time, the all modules were applied.1,000 V in $85^{\circ}C$, 85% RH. The outputs, dark IV curves and EL images of all modules before and after experiments were also measured to confirm the main components of module for PID generation. From the measured results, the outputs of all modules with front glass were remarkably reduced and the performances of modules with back and front glass were greatly deteriorated. We suggest that the obtained data could be used to reduce the PID phenomenon of diverse modules such as conventional module and BIPV (building integrated photovoltaic) module.

This paper presents the configuration and characteristic analysis of the protection system to improve the safety of the building integrated photovoltaic(BIPV) system. BIPV is a solar power system installed in buildings. Since the BIPV system is installed in buildings, there is a high risk of electric shock and fire accidents. Therefore, in order to improve the safety of BIPV, a protective system is required to block or quickly detect risk factors. In this paper, as a protection system to improve the safety of the BIPV system, it is composed of a rapid shutdown (RSD) that can quickly separate the PV system to prevent fire and electric shock accidents and a system to detect Arc faults that cause PV system fires. RSD and Arc Fault Detector analyzed the operating characteristics according to each condition and confirmed that the safety of the BIPV system can be improved through this.

BIPV시스템 분야는 다른 PV 적용 기술 분야에 비해 빠르게 성장하고 있으나 소형 건축물 위주로 적용되었으며, 초고층 건축물과 같이 수직적으로 높은 건축물의 외부환경조건에 대응하기 위한 BIPV의 적용 방안은 현재까지 연구되어지지 않았다. 국내의 경우 선진국에 비해 초고층 건축물에 대한 BIPV시스템 적용기술은 아직 초기 연구단계에 불과하다. 초고층 건축물의 고유의 특징을 고려하여 초고층 건축물 파사드에 입사하는 일사량의 분포가 균일하지 않을 것이라고 예측하고 실측을 진행하였으며, 실측 결과의 분석을 통하여 초고층 건축물에서의 BIPV시스템 최적 설계방안을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 본 연구에서는 초고층 건축물의 외벽에 입사하는 일사량을 고려한 Unit형 BIPV설계 방안을 제시하였으며, 특히, 측정된 일사량 데이터를 활용하여 초고층 건축물에 적합한 인버터의 선정의 대안을 제시하였다.

The types of installation of the photovoltaic system applied to domestic residential buildings are classified as follows: Mounted modules with air circulation, semi-integrated modules with air duct behind, integrated modules with fully insulated back. In order to study generation characteristics of PV system, we verified the validity of interpretation program based on long-term measurement data of demonstration house installed in BAPV form and also analyzed the generation characteristics and performance of each installation type. The results are as follows. First, the RMSE of amount of generation and simulation according to annual daily insolation of demonstration system located in Daejeon was 0.98kWh and the range of relative error of monthly power generation was -5.8 to 3.1. Second, the average annual PR of mounted modules was 82%, semi-integrated modules 76.1% and integrated modules 71.9%. This differences were attributed to temperature loss. Third, the range of operating temperature of annual hourly photovoltaic modules was -6.5 to $61.0^{\circ}C$ for mounted modules, $-6.0{\sim}73.9^{\circ}C$ for semi-integrated modules and -5.5 to $88.9^{\circ}C$ for integrated modules. The temperature loss of each installation type was -14.0 to 16.1%, -13.8 to 21.9%, and -13.6 to 28.5%, respectively.

PVT (Photovoltaic/thermal) system is technology that combines PV and solar thermal collector to produce and use both solar heat and electricity. PVT has the advantage that the energy production per unit area is higher than any single use of PV or solar thermal energy systems because it can produce and use heat and electricity simultaneously. Air-type PVT collectors use air as the heat transfer medium, and the air flow rate and flow pattern are important factors affecting the performance of the PVT collector. In this study, a new air-type PVT collector with improved thermal performance was designed and manufactured. And then thermal and electrical performance and characteristics of air-type PVT collector were analyzed through experiments. For the thermal performance analysis of the PVT collector, the experiment was conducted under the test conditions of ISO 9806:2017 and the electrical performance was analyzed under the same conditions. As a result, the thermal efficiency increased to 26~45% as the inlet flow rate of PVT collector increased from $60{\sim}200m^3/h$. Also, it was confirmed that the air-type PVT collector prevents the PV surface temperature rise according to the operating conditions.

LCPV modules under 5 suns consist of reflective optics and receiver modules, similar to a typical fixed concentration PV module. If they are to be used as a compound parabolic concentrator, which is filled with a dielectric material, a compact plate structure of the fixed CPV can be designed and built at a large acceptance angle. These types of flat-$plate{\mu}$-LCPV modules are suitable for building integrated photovoltaic modules, facade applications, mobile devices, and small home appliances. Therefore, in this study, the possibilities for other application devices were studied and presented by designing and fabricating LCPCs for CPV modules.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) allows light transmission and the application of various colors that make it especially suitable for building-integrated PV (BIPV) application. In order to apply DSC module into windows, it has to be panelized: DSC module should be protected with reinforced glass to the entire surface. Up to date, it seems to be common to make double glazing with DSC modules with air gaps between the glasses and the DSC modules. Few research has been conducted on the characteristics of various glazing types with DSC modules. This study aims to analyze the electrical performance of DSC modules according to panelizing method for glazing unit with DSC modules. The prototype of the DSC glazing that applied silicone filler between DSC modules and glasses was developed. The electrical performances of this type of DSC glazing with the filler and rather conventional double glazing with DSC modules were compared. Their performances were measured using a solar simulator that is suitable for DSC performance testing. The results indicated that the electrical performance of the filler type DSC glazing improved by 7% compared to that of the conventional DSC double glazing type.

The main purpose of this paper is to develop the new BIPV module equipped with vacuum glass. Beacuse BIPV module has a function of architectural materials, thermal and PV performance should be simultaneously evaluated. To improve the thermal performance of BIPV module, this study developed BIPV module equipped with a vacuum glass. Those BIPV module was tested with a variety of encapsulants. The results are as follows. When a vacuum glass is laminated with EVA or PVB, it was broken. The reason seems to be bending by unbalance of heat expansion with center and edge of vacuum glass. In case of lamination with resin, there is no breakage and no bending of vacuum glass. Because production was conducted in low pressure & low temperature conditions. And it was also found that vacuum glass does not interfere with the UV curing process.
