The measured solar radiation incident on tilted surfaces by all directions has been widely used as important solar radiation data in installing photovoltaic modules. To maximize the incident beam radiation, the slope, which is the angle between the plane of the surface in question and the horizontal, an4 the solar azimuth angles are needed for these solar photovoltaic systems. This is because the performance of the solar photovoltaic systems is much affected by angle and direction of incident rays. Recognizing those factors mentioned above are of importance, actual experiment has been performed in this research to obtain the an91e of inclination with which the maximum incident rays can be absorbed. The results obtained in this research could be used in installing optimal photovoltaic modules.

본 연구는 1.3 MW급 태양광 발전소에서 기온 및 일사량에 따른 발전성능이 유지 보수 및 사후관리에 따라 성능이 향상될 수 있음을 실측자료를 통해 입증하는데 목적이 있다. 실측자료는 2008년 5월 전북 부안에 설치된 태양광 발전소에서 측정된 기온 및 일사량에 따른 발전량을 이용하였으며, 측정기간은 2009년 1월~2009년 12월까지 1년간 모니터링을 한 데이터를 기반으로 분석하였고, 발전소 성능 지표인 PR(Performance Ratio)을 계산하여 자료로 활용하였다. 또한, 실측자료는 PVSYST를 이용하여 실측자료와 동일한 조건에서 예측된 시뮬레이션 발전량 및 PR값과 비교 분석하였다. 실측자료와 해석결과의 비교에서 월단위로 측정된 실측 발전량과 예측 발전량은 유사한 경향을 나타냈으며, 실측 발전량은 예측 발전량 대비 약 5% 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 실측 PR값은 예측 PR값보다 약 4.97% 높게 나타났는데, 이는 해석을 위해 적용되는 일사량(기상청)과 실측 일사량이 다르고, Team Function 방식으로 구동되는 인버터와 시뮬레이션에서의 인버터 구동방식의 차이 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 일조량의 증가에 따른 1.3MW급 태양광 발전소의 발전량은 비례적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 7월의 경우 기후특성으로 인하여 국부적으로 감소하는 특성을 나타낸다.

In surface image velocimetry, a wide area of a river is photographed at an angle to measure its velocity, inevitably causing image distortion. Although a distorted image can be corrected into an orthogonal image by using 2D projective coordinate transformation and considering reference points on the same plane as the water surface, this method is limited by the uncertainty of changes in the water level in the event of a flood. Therefore, in this study, we developed a tilt image correction technique that corrects distortions in oblique images without resetting the reference points while coping with changes in the water level using the geometric relationship between the coordinates of the reference points set at a high position the camera, and the vertical distance between the water surface and the camera. Furthermore, we developed a distortion correction method to verify the corrected image, wherein we conducted a full-scale river experiment to verify the reference point transformation equation and measure the surface velocity. Based on the verification results, the proposed tilt image correction method was found to be over 97% accurate, whereas the experiment result of the surface velocity differed by approximately 4% as compared to the results calculated using the proposed method, thereby indicating high accuracy. Application of the proposed method to an image-based fixed automatic discharge measurement system can improve the accuracy of discharge measurement in the event of a flood when the water level changes rapidly.
