In this paper, the effectiveness of three different control algorithms are thoroughly investigated via simulation and a proposed efficiency evaluation method of experimentation. Both the steady state and transient characteristics of each control algorithm along with its measured efficiency are analyzed. Finally, a novel two-mode maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control algorithm combining the constant voltage control and the incremental conduction (IncCond) methods is proposed to improve the efficiency of the 3KW PV power generation system at different insolation conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed two-mode MPPT control provides excellent performance at less than 30% insolation intensity, covering the whole insolation area without additional hardware circuitry.

태양전지의 출력 특성은 비선형이고 온도와 일사량에 많은 영향을 받는다. 최대전력점 추종 제어는 태양광 발전의 출력을 최대로 하기 위해 사용되는 제어기법이다. 태양광발전 시스템의 출력 및 효율을 증가 시키기 위해 더욱 우수한 최대전력점 추종 제어기법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양광 발전 시스템의 효율을 개선하기 위해 일사량을 고려한 새로운 최대전력점 추종 제어 알고리즘을 제시한다. 제시한 알고리즘은 종래의 P&O방법과 CV 방법을 혼합한 것이며, PSIM 시뮬레이터를 통하여 종래의 MPPT 알고리즘과 다양한 일사량 조건에서 성능시험을 비교하였다. 제시한 알고리즘은 종래의 알고리즘에 비해 출력의 자려진동없이 다양한 일사량에서 우수한 성능을 나타냈다. 이로서 본 논문에서 제시한 HB 방법의 최대전력점 추종 제어 알고리즘의 타당성을 입증하였다.

The effects of surface radiative properties on the radiant cooling of opaque surfaces under clear sky condition are studied. Two types of surfaces, one gray and the other selective, are compared. For the nighttime cooling, black surface gives the lowest plate temperature and on the other hand the ideal selective surface gives the highest temperature. The reverse is true when there is an insolation. Equivalent radiative heat transfer coefficient of radiant cooling without convection is about $1{\sim}7\;W/m^2-K$ for the range of values studied. The surface with black within the $6{\sim}13\;{\mu}m$ band else zero emissivity could be regarded as a black surface for the nighttime radiant cooling purposes. However, lower band limit of $4\;{\mu}m$ is preferred to $6\;{\mu}m$ for small insolation situations.

Quantity of the solar power generation is heavily influenced by weather. In other words, due to difference in insolation, different quantity may be generated. However, it does not mean all areas with identical insolation produces same quantity because of various environmental aspects. Additionally, geographic factors such as altitude, height of plant may have an impact on the quantity. Hence, through this research, we designed a system to predict efficiency of the solar power generation system by applying insolation, weather factor such as duration of sunshine, cloudiness parameter and location. By applying insolation, weather data that are collected from various places, we established a system that fits with our nation. Apart from, we produced a geographic model equation through utilizing generated data installed nationwide. To design a prediction model that integrates two factors, we apply fuzzy algorithm, and validate the performance of system by establishing simulation system.

The monthly-average meteorological data, in particular, the monthly average daily terrestrial horizontal insolation are required for designing solar thermal energy systems. In this paper, the dynamic thermal performance of a flat plate solar collector system is numerically investigated through a year from the monthly average insolation data in Seoul. For a specified data set of solar collector system, the dynamic behaviors of total solar radiation on the tilted collector surfaces, heat loss from the collector system, useful energy and collector efficiency are analyzed from January to December by a mathematical simulation model. In addition, the monthly average daily total solar radiation, useful energy, and daily collector efficiencies through a year are estimated. The simulated results show that the average total radiation is highest in March and the useful energy is highest in October, while the total radiation and the collector efficiency are lowest in July.

In this study, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm based on the perturb and observe (P&O) method with variable step size is proposed to improve the dynamic response characteristic of MPPT, using the existing P&O method. The proposed algorithm, which we verified by simulation and experiment, can track the maximum power point (MPP) through duty control and consisted of three operation modes, namely, constant voltage mode, fast mode, and variable step mode. When the insolation is constant, the voltage variation of the operating point at the MPP is reduced through the step size reduction of the duty in the variable step mode. Consequently, the vibration of the operating point is reduced, and the power generation efficiency is increased. When the insolation changes, the duty and the photovoltaic (PV) voltage are kept constant through the constant voltage mode. The operating point then rapidly tracks the new MPP through the fast-mode operation at the end of the insolation change. When the MPP is reached, the operation is changed to the variable step mode to reduce the duty step size and track the MPP. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation and experiment of a PV system composed of a PV panel and a boost converter.

A novel decision reference based method for the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of PV arrays is presented in this paper. The proposed decision reference was derived from a simplified solar cell model. This method solves the problems of conventional MPPT algorithms, such as oscillation of the operating point at the steady state and confusion under rapidly changing insolation. It is shown by simulation and experimental results that the method properly tracks a rapidly changing insolation profile. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the new decision reference is also higher than those of conventional P&O and INC methods. An updating subroutine was included in the proposed MPPT algorithm to compensate for temperature and aging effects.
