In the photovoltaics (PV) industry, there were many efforts to reduce the cost of production with high efficiency. The single most important cost factor in silicon technology is the wafer, accounting presently for ~35% of the module cost. it was already shown that the solar cell efficiency can be maintained up to the thickness range of $40-60{\mu}m$. The direct production of ultra-thin silicon wafer is very attractive and numerous different techniques, such as electrochemical process, ion implantation, and epitaxial growth, have been proposed and developed in many academic and industrial laboratories.

A novel technique for efficiently extracting maximum power from PV panels is proposed, consisting of a modified buck-boost converter, witch is controlled by a DSP. A variation of the proposed MPPT technique is directly use the modified buck-boost converter current reference as a control parameter. Also 4 parallel boost converters have division of load. A theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is performed and compared with experimental results obtained from a 1k[W] prototype solar panel under a controlled experimental setup.

The objective of this study is to compare the suitability of a non-parametric and 3 parametric distributions in the characterization of prediction intervals of photovoltaic power forecasts with high confidence levels. The prediction intervals of the forecasts are calculated using a method based on recent past data similar to the target forecast input data, and on a distribution assumption for the forecast error. To compare the suitability of the distributions, prediction intervals were calculated using the proposed method and each of the 4 distributions. The calculations were done for one year of day-ahead forecasts of hourly power generation of 432 PV systems. The systems have different sizes and specifications, and are installed in different locations in Japan. The results show that, in general, the non-parametric distribution assumption for the forecast error yielded the best prediction intervals. For example, with a confidence level of 85% the use of the non-parametric distribution assumption yielded a median annual forecast error coverage of 86.9%. This result was close to the one obtained with the Laplacian distribution assumption (87.8% of coverage for the same confidence level). Contrasting with that, using a Gaussian and Hyperbolic distributions yielded median annual forecast error coverage of 89.5% and 90.5%.

Korea has been at the forefront of green growth initiatives. In 2008, the government declared the new vision toward 'low-carbon society and green growth'. The government subsidies and Feed-in Tariff (FIT) increased domestic usage of solar power by supplying photovoltaic housing and photovoltaic generation systems. Since 2000, solar power industry has been the world's fastest growing source with the annual growth rate of 52.5%. Especially, BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems are capturing a growing portion of the renewable energy market due to several reasons. BIPV consists of photovoltaic cells and modules integrated into the building envelope such as a roof or facades. By avoiding the cost of conventional materials, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost is improved. When it comes to atypical building, numerous problems occur because PV modules are flat, stationary, and have its orientation determined by building surface. However, previous studies mainly focused on improving installations of solar PV technologies on ground and rooftop photovoltaic array and developing prediction model to estimate the amount of produced electricity. Consequently, this paper discusses the problem during a planning and design stage of BIPV systems and suggests the method to select optimal design of the systems by applying the national strategy and economic policies. Furthermore, the paper aims to develop BIM tool based on the engineering knowledge from experts in order for non-specialists to design photovoltaic generation systems easily.

Hysteresis current control is one of the simplest techniques used to control currents for high speed drive systems, because of its simplicity of implementation, fast current control response, and inherent peak current limiting capability. However the conventional fixed-band hysteresis control has a variable switching frequency throughout the fundamental period, and consequently the load current harmonics spreaded on the wide frequency range. In this paper, a simple, novel alterative approach is proposed for a variable-hysteresis band current controller which uses feedback techniques to achieve constant switching frequency with good dynamic response. The method is easily implemented in hardware, the resultant controller is easily tuned to a particular load, and has good immunity to variation in PV parameter and dc supply voltage.

정보 기술 시대에 맞춰 광전소자의 연구가 활발해지면서 투명전극으로 사용될 수 있는 Transparent Conductive Oxide (TCO) 재료에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 TCO의 대표적인 물질인 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO)의 경우 In의 가격 상승으로 인해 최근에는 낮은 전도도와 높은 투과도를 가질 수 있는 대체 물질에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서 3.2 eV 의 높은 밴드갭을 갖는 ZnO 는 가시광선 영역에서 높은 투과율을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 Al, Ga을 도핑함으로써 낮은 전도도를 가질 수 있다. 이러한 TCO 재료는 surface texturing을 통하여 optical region 에서 반사를 억제 시킴으로서 빛을 모으는 역할을 하여 태양전지의 효율을 향상 시킬 수 있기 때문에 PV (Photovoltaics) Cell의 anti-reflective coating에 적용 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 pulsed DC magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) 박막을 증착하였고, HCl 0.5 wt %로 wet etching을 통하여 surface texturing을 진행하였다. 결정성은 X-ray diffractometer (XRD)로 분석하였으며, 표면 형상은 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)을 통해 확인하였다. Van der Pauw 방법을 통해 resistivity, carrier concentration, hall mobility 등의 전기적 특성을 분석하였고 UV-Vis spectrophotometer 를 통해 투과도 및 반사도를 측정하였다.

The global demand for energy has been increasing since past decades. Various technologies have been working to find a suitable alternative for the generation of sustainable energy. Photovoltaic technologies for solar energy conversion represent one of the significant routes for the green and renewable energy production. Despite of remarkable improvement in solar cell technologies, the generation of power is still suffering with lower energy conversion efficiency, high production cost, etc. The major problem in improving the PV efficiency is spectral mismatch between the incident solar spectrum and bandgap of a semiconductor material used in solar cell. Luminescent materials such as rare-earth doped phosphor materials having the quantum efficiency higher than unity can be helpful for photovoltaic applications. Quantum cutting phosphors are the most suitable candidates for the generation of two or more low-energy photons for the absorption of every incident high-energy photons. The phosphors which are capable of converting UV photon to visible and near-IR (NIR) photon are studied primarily for photovoltaic applications. In this review, we will survey various near IR quantum cutting phosphors with respective to their synthesis method, energy transfer mechanism, nature of activator, sensitizer and dopant materials incorporation and energy conversion efficiency considering their applications in photovoltaics.
