There are several methods of peak-shaving, which reduces grid power demand, electricity bought from electricity utility, through lowering "demand spike" during On-Peak period. An optimization method using linear programming is proposed, which can be used to perform peak-shaving of grid power demand for grid-connected PV+ system. Proposed peak shaving method is based on the forecast data for electricity load and photovoltaic power generation. Results from proposed method are compared with those from On-Off and Real Time methods which do not need forecast data. The results also compared to those from ideal case, an optimization method which use measured data for forecast data, that is, error-free forecast data. To see the effects of forecast error 36 error scenarios are developed, which consider error types of forecast, nMAE (normalizes Mean Absolute Error) for photovoltaic power forecast and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) for load demand forecast. And the effects of forecast error are investigated including critical error scenarios which provide worse results compared to those of other scenarios. It is shown that proposed peak shaving method are much better than On-Off and Real Time methods under almost all the scenario of forecast error. And it is also shown that the results from our method are not so bad compared to the ideal case using error-free forecast.

Use of photovoltaic (PV) power generation system will become more widespread in the future due to anticipated cost reduction in PV technology. As the capacity of PV systems increases, a variation of power system frequency may prevent the stable output of PV system. However, the standard for the frequency protection of distributed generation in Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO)'s rule does not include the setting of frequency protection. Therefore, this paper analyzes the correlation between the frequency protection requirements and the stability of grid-connected PV system for the adjustable operating setting of frequency protection. The distribution system interconnected with 3 MW PV system is modeled by Matlab/Simulink. The various values of frequency are simulated. For studied cases, the stability of PV system is analyzed. It is concluded that the setting of frequency protection is necessary to consider the stability of PV system.

This paper proposes an inverter for the grid-connected photovoltaic system based on the transformer-less inverter. This system consists of a high frequency converter bridge, high frequency transformer, diode bridge rectifiers, a DC filter, a low frequency inverter bridge, and an AC filter. The high frequency converter bridge switching at 20kHz is used to generate bipolar PWM pulse, and the high frequency transformer raise its voltage twice, which is subsequently rectified by diode bridge rectifiers to result in a full-wave rectified sine wave. Finally, it is unfolded by a low frequency inverter bridge to result in a 60Hz sine wave power output. Even though the high frequency link system needs more power semiconductors, a reduced size, light weight, and saved parts cost make this system more comparative than the other systems due to elimination of 60Hz transformer.

The application of Photovoltaic (PV) power in the building sector, is expanding as part of the ongoing energy transition into renewables. The article addresses the question of sustainability of energy generated from PVs through an environmental assessment of a building-integrated PV system (BIPV) connected to the grid through net metering. Employing retrospective life cycle analysis (LCA), with the CCaLC2 software and ecoinvent data, the article shows that the carrying structure and other balance of system (BOS) components are responsible for a three times higher energy payback time than the literature average. However, total environmental impact can be lowered through reuse or reinstallation of PVs on the same building structure after the 30-year interval. Further ways to improve environmental efficiency include identifying the most polluting materials for each LCA parameter. The results of this study are of interest to researchers and producers of PVs and organizations investing and promoting decentralized power production through PVs.

The market for distributed power generation based on renewable energy is increasing, particularly for standalone mini-grid applications in developing countries with limited energy resources. Stand-alone power systems (SAPS) are of special interest combined with renewable energy design in areas not connected to the electric grid. Traditionally, such systems have been powered by diesel engine generator sets (DEGS), but also hybrid systems with photovoltaic and/or wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are becoming quite common nowadays. Hybrid energy systems can now be used to generate energy consumed in remote areas and stand-alone microgrids. This paper describes the design, simulation and feasibility study of a hybrid energy system for a stand-alone power system. A simulated model is developed to investigate the design and performance of stand-alone hydrogen renewable energy systems. The analysis presented here is based on transient system simulation program (TRNSYS) with realistic ventilation load of a large store. Design of a hybrid energy system is site specific and depends on the resources available and the load demand.

신재생 에너지 분야에서 각광받고 있는 계통 연계형 태양광 인버터에서는 계통과의 연계를 위해서 반드시 계통의 위상 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 계통 연계형 태양광 발전 시스템에서의 위상 동기화 방법으로 원하는 기준 신호의 주파수를 구하여 동기신호로 사용하고, DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) 알고리즘을 이용하여 기준 신호와의 위상차를 구하여 위상차만큼 보상하는 PLL(Phase Locked Loop)의 순시 추종방법을 제안하였다. 또한 DFT 연산에 사용되는 한주기 값들을 샘플링 할때마다 보정 위상 값을 구하는 방법과 특정 주파수의 기준신호에 대한 주파수 및 위상 추종뿐만 아니라 다양한 주파수 신호에 대한 주파수 및 위상을 추종하는 방법을 적용하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 본 논문의 타당성을 검증하여 유효성을 보이고자 한다.

최근, 전 세계적으로 신재생에너지에 대한 관심이 증가됨에 따라 친환경적이고 무한한 태양에너지를 이용하는 태양광전원의 설치가 급증하고 있다. 이러한 태양광전원은 주변 환경에 따라 출력이 크게 좌우되는데, 예를 들어 구름 또는 건물의 음영으로 인한 일부 모듈의 문제로 인해서 해당 스트링이 출력을 발생하지 못할 수 있다. 즉 기존의 제어방식에서는 모듈이 직렬로 연결된 스트링이 인버터에 연계되어 있으므로, 일부 모듈에 음영이 발생할 경우 스트링의 전압이 인버터의 동작전압 미만으로 되어 해당 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락되는 문제점이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 각각의 스트링마다 전압을 제어하는 DC-DC 전압 레귤레이터를 이용하여, 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락되는 문제점을 개선하는 새로운 태양광전원 제어방식을 제안하였다. 또한, 회로해석 상용 프로그램인 PSIM S/W를 이용하여, 정전압 제어 및 MPPT(Maximum Power Point Tracking) 제어기능을 가지는 DC-DC 전압 레귤레이터와 위상동기루프(PLL, Phase-Locked Loop) 제어 기반의 3상 인버터의 모델링을 수행하였다. 이 모델링을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 부분적으로 음영이 발생하는 모듈을 가진 스트링이 인버터에서 탈락하는 현상을 개선함으로써 태양광전원의 운용효율이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a transformerless photovoltaic (PV) power converter system based on the DC/AC boost inverter, which can solve the leakage current and second-order ripple power issues in single-phase grid-connected PV inverters. In the proposed topology, the leakage current can be decreased remarkably since most of the common-mode currents flow through the output capacitor, by-passing parasitic capacitors, and grounding resistors. In addition, the inherent ripple power component in the single-phase grid inverter can be suppressed without adding any extra components. Therefore, bulky electrolytic capacitors can be replaced by small film capacitors. The effectiveness of the proposed topology has been verified by simulation and experimental results for a 1-kW PV PCS.
