본 연구에서는 열충격 시험을 통하여 Cell레벨에서의 효율저하 특성을 분석하였다. 열충격 시험은 PV모듈의 시험 규격인 KS C IEC-61215를 이용하여 보다 가혹한 조건인 $-40^{\circ}C$에서 $120^{\circ}C$의 조건으로 500사이클 수행하였다. I-V 측정을 통하여 효율을 분석한 결과, 열충격 시험 전 13.9%에서 열충격 시험 후 11.0%로 효율이 저하 됐으며, 감소율은 20.9% 나타났다.EL촬영을 통해 표면을 분석한 결과 Ribbon접합부 및 Gridfinger의 손상으로 확인 됐으며, 보다 정확한 효율 저하의 원인을 분석하기 위해 단면분석을 실시한 결과 표면손상으로 확인 되었던 위치의 Cell내부에서도 Crack을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 FF값을 분석한 결과 열충격 시험 전 72.3%에서 시험 후 62.0%로 11.8%의 감소율을 보였다. 따라서, 경년 시 나타나는 효율저하는 Cell자체의 소모전력 증가와 외부환경에 의한 표면 손상 및 Cell내부의 Crack에 기인하여 가속된다고 판단된다.

a-Si:H/${\mu}$c-Si:H 적층형 태양전지의 효율향상을 위해 상부전지와 하부전지간의 접합특성은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는, 접합특성을 향상하기 위하여 아몰퍼스 보다 전도도가 높은 마이크로화된 n층 또는 ZnO:Al을 중간층으로 삽입한 태양전지를 제조하였으며, 그 특성을 전기적, 광학적 방법으로 분석하였다. 전기적 특성에서, 상부전지 n층에 아몰퍼스를 적용한 태양전지의 경우, 상부전지와 하부전지 간의 직렬저항이 $500{\Omega}-cm^2$ 이상으로 높게 측정되었고, 이에 따라 AM 1.5 상태의 I-V 특성에서 비틀림 현상이 발생하여 곡선인자(Fill Factor : FF)가 낮게 측정되었다. 이에 반하여, 상부전지 n층에 마이크로층을 적용하거나, ZnO:Al 중간층을 삽입한 시편의 경우, 상부전지와 하부전지간의 직렬저항이 $1{\Omega}-cm^2$ 이하로 감소하였으며, 이와 같은 계면간의 접합특성 향상으로 I-V특성에서 비틀림 현상이 사라지고, FF가 70% 까지 증가하였다. 또한, 마이크로층과 ZnO:Al 중간층을 동시에 적용한 태양전지의 경우, FF가 75%까지 가장 높게 증가하였다. 광학적 특성의 경우, 같은 두께의 아몰퍼스 n층에 비하여 마이크로 n층이 투과도는 더 높게, 반사도는 낮게 측정되었으며, 이는 하부전지의 단락전류 (Short circuit current : Jsc)를 높여줄 것으로 판단된다.

Supramolecules containing double hydrogen bonding sites at their both chain ends were self-polymerized to become solid state polymer and were utilized to improve the efficiency of solid state DSSCs. Hydrogen bonding sites were attached at the chain ends of PEG of Mw=2000, such as pyrimethamine and glutaric acid. The solar cell with the solid state supramolecular polymer electrolyte resulted in the overall energy conversion efficiency of 4.63 % with a short circuit current density $(J_{sc})$ of 10.41 $mAcm^{-2}$, an open circuit voltage $V_{oc}$, of 0.71 V and a fill factor (FF) of 0.62 at one sun condition ([oligomer]:[1-methyl-3-propyl imidazolium iodide (MPII)]:$[I_2]$ = 20 : 1 : 0.19, active area = 0.16 $cm^2$, $TiO_2$ layer thickness = 10 ${\mu}m$). The ionic conductivity of the sol id state electrolyte was $5.11{\times}10^{-4}$ (S/cm). The cell performance was characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and ionic conductivity.

SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) it a process used to rapidly produce polymer components directly from a computer representation of the part. Though SLA is being recognized as an innovative technology, it still cannot be used to fully practical application since it lacks of dimensional accuracy compared to conventional process. If the shrinkage were perfectly uniform and no distortion took place, excellent part accuracy could still be achieved through and appropriate scaling factor when generating the build file. However, in certain geometries involving intersecting thick and thin sections, nonuniform retrain shrinkage becomes the engine of part distortion. In order to improve the part accuracy of SLA, this paper evaluates how largely each parameter of SLA contributes to the part accuracy and estimates the optimal set of parameter which minimizes the dimension error of the test part, "Slab (100mm$\times$100mm$\times$2mm)"and "scale bar"part. Three control parameters such as critical exposure, generation depth and fill cure depth are used.

The new textured surface epitaxial base(TSEB) cell as a high efficiency Si solar cell was fabricated and its eletro-optical characteristics were investigated. The fabricated device showed the open circuit voltage of 0.62 V, the short circuit current of 40 mA, the fill factor of 0.7, and the efficiency of 16% under the incident light of AM-1 100 mW/$cm^2$. The TSEB cell proposed in this paper has the structural superiority in the fabrication of high efficiency solar cell due to the carrier drift transport in the optical absorption region and the formation of back surface field by $P^-/P^+$ epitaxial base, and the low emitter series resistance by insertion of $n^+$ buried contact.

The influence of physical parameters (Al mole fraction, thickness, doping concentration) in the window and emitter on the efficiency characteristics of heteroface p-$Al_{x}Ga_{1-x}As/p-GaAs/n-GaAs/n^{+}$-GaAs solar cell is investigated. The maximum efficiency theoretically calculated in this device is obtained when a thickness of the window is in a range of (400-1000))$\AA$and a thickness/doping concentration of the emitter is in a range of (0.5-0.8)$\mu$m/(1-7)${\times}10^{17}cm^{-3}$, respectively. Also is the efficiency improved according to the increase of Al mole fraction in the indirect gap window(0.41${\le}x{\le}1.0$).

Recently, there is a growing concern on the photovoltaic effects using organic materials. This is a phenomena which converts the solar energy into the electrical one. We have fabricated a device structure of $ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPc/C_{60}/BCP/AI$. The PEDOT:PSS layer is made by spin coating, and the other organic layers are made by thermal vapor deposition. By measuring the current-voltage characteristics with an illumination of light, we have obtained value of Voc=0.38V, Jsc=$0.5mA/cm^{2}$. And a fill factor and efficiency are about 0.314 and 0.083%, respectively. A 500W xenon lamp(ORIEL) is used for a light source, and the light intensity illuminated into the device was about 10mW.

There has been, in recent years, effort to make cast copper rotors for industrial use of induction motors. Because the incorporation of copper for the conductor bars and end rings of the induction motor in place of aluminum would result in attractive improvements in motor energy efficiency. The purpose of this method is a reducing the copper loss as using higher conductivity of copper. In this paper as the single phase induction motor is studied, the stator slots and coil turn number is designed for adjusting the slot fill factor and improving its efficiency. At this time design is basis on calculation of reducing loss. And finally this paper shows that the before and after result is compared and analyzed.

염료감응형 태양전지는 투명성과 광입사각 둔감성 등의 장점을 바탕으로 미래 태양전지 시장을 주도할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이러한 염료감응형 태양전지의 실용화를 위해서는 고효율 연구뿐만 아니라 대면적화를 통한 용량의 증대 연구도 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 금속 재료로 염료감응형 태양전지 내에 그리드 전극을 삽입함으로써 전자 및 홀의 이동 개선과 확산 이동의 최소화에 의한 손실 감소를 통해 효율 향상을 시도했다. 또한, 투명전극의 레이저 식각을 통해 염료감응형 태양전지의 내부 저항 중 큰 비중을 차지하는 투명전극의 표면 저항도 줄이고자 했다. SEM을 통해 투명전극의 식각 상태를 확인하고, radio frequency 스퍼터를 통해 그리드 전극을 증착한 결과, 기존 셀보다 향상된 출력전류 및 fill factor를 얻을 수 있었고, 약 1%의 효율 증가를 확인할 수 있었다.
