자가발전 도서는 내연발전 혹은 PV 발전을 이용하여 전력을 공급하고 있는데, 해양환경에 의한 문제점(경년열화, 염해), 환경오염(매연, 소음, 분진) 및 발전비용(설치비, 유지관리비) 상승 등 전력공급 효율성에 대한 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 한전에서 전력공급을 담당하고 있는 65개 자가발전 도서지역의 2016년 원가회수율은 27%에 불과하며 원가의 73%에 달하는 결손액이 발생되고 있다. 이들 도서지역에서 발생한 결손액의 현황을 보면, 발전분야에서 발생하는 비용은 전체의 91% 정도를 차지하고 있고 운영비용인 변동비(연료비)와 고정비(지급수수료, 수선유지비, 기타비용) 중에서 고정비가 차지하는 비율은 60% 정도이다. 즉, 도서지역 발전효율을 향상시키고 운영체계를 효율화시키는 최적 전력공급방안을 마련하여 운영 결손액을 줄일 필요가 있다. 그러므로 거리상 가까운 여러 개의 도서 발전설비를 한 곳으로 통합하고, 인근 도서지역 간 전력공급에 해저케이블을 이용하면 연료 수송 및 설비 유지관리의 간결화를 도모할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 통합운영 경제성 평가를 통하여, 내연발전 및 PV 발전으로 운영되고 있는 근거리 도서간 통합운영에 유효한 해저케이블 포설 방안(1회선, 2회선, 1회선 루프)을 결정하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한, 제안한 알고리즘을 바탕으로 자가발전도서의 독립운전방식과 비교 분석한 결과, 근거리이며 내연발전으로 운영되나 최대부하가 작은 2개 혹은 3개 도서에 있어서 도서간 통합운영이 경제적인 전력공급방안임을 확인하였다.

In this paper, in order to investigate the efficiency of solar power generation system operation, we have studied operation cases such as generation amount, utilization rate, and generation time, and the following conclusions were obtained. The amount of power generation in 2017 was 1,311.48 MWh, and the amount of power generation in 2018 was 1,226.03 MWh. In 2021, 1,184.28 MWh was generated, and 90.30% compared to 2017, and the amount of power generation decreased by 1.94% every year. The deterioration of photovoltaic modules could be seen as one cause of the decrease in power generation. 1,977.74 MWh was generated in the spring, and 1,621.77 MWh was generated in the summer. In addition, 1,478.87 MWh was generated in the fall, and 1,110.55 MWh was generated in the winter, showing a lot of power generation in the order of spring, summer, fall, and winter. From 2017 to 2022, the seasonal utilization rate, daily power generation time, and daily power generation were investigated, and it could be seen that the spring utilization rate varies from 19.29% to 16.99%. It could be seen that the daily generation time in winter decreased from 2.67 hours to 2.13 hours, and in spring it generated longer than spring from 4.63 hours to 4.08 hours. In addition, the daily power generation in winter also decreased from 2.67 MWh to 2.13 MWh, and in spring it decreased from 4.63 MWh to 4.08 MWh, but it could be seen that it is more than in winter.

In this paper, an I-V characteristics of bypass diode has been studied by counting the shading effect in photovoltaic module. The shadow induces hot spot phenomenon in PV module due to the increase of resistance in the current path. Two different types of PV module with and without bypass diode were fabricated to expect maximum output power with an increasing shading rate of 5 % on the solar cell. Temperature distribution is also detected by shading the whole solar cell for the outdoor test. From the result, the bypass diode works properly over 60 % of shading per cell with constant output power. Maximum power generation in case of solar cell being totally shaded with bypass diode decreases 41.3 % compared with the one under STC(Standard Test Condition). On the other hand, the maximum output power of the module without bypass diode gradually decreases by showing hot spot phenomenon with the increase of shading ratio on the cell and finally indicates 95.5 % of power loss compared with the output under STC. Finally the module temperature measured increases around $10^{\circ}C$ higher than that under STC due to hot-spots which come from the condition without bypass diode. It has been therefore one of the main reasons for degrading the PV module and shortening the durability of the PV system.

본 논문에서는 태양과 태양전지 모듈이 법선을 이루도록 기존에 태양의 방위각 및 고도각을 제어하는 양축 추적시스템에 2개의 센서를 사용하였던 Double-sensor방식에서 1개의 센서로 방위각 및 고도각을 제어할 수 있는 One-sensor방식의 양축 추적시스템을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안한 추적시스템을 제작하여 시스템의 실제 운전을 실행하였다. 제안한 추적시스템은 1개의 센서를 이용하여 태양이 항상 법선을 이루면서 태양전지 모듈에 입사되게 제어하기 위해 방위각과 고도각을 제어하는 양축 추적시스템이다. 실험결과 가장 효율적인 운전과 불필요한 구동부의 동작을 방지하여 전력소모를 감소할 수 있었으며 고정식에 비해 본 논문에서 제안한 One-sensor방식의 양축 추적시스템이 약 23[%]의 발전효율이 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 태양을 추적하여 더 많은 햇빛을 받게 하여 태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위하여 행해진 추적장치는 대형 방식에 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 따라서 본 논문의 태양위치추적의 모니터링 시스템을 구축하여 지속적인 발전효율에 대한 실용화 연구를 통해 태양광발전시스템 보급에 큰 역할을 할 것이라 기대된다.

Recently, the demand for high penetration of variable renewable energy (VRE) penetration in a power system is increased. In consequence, distribution systems including microgrids confront the increased installation of VRE-based distributed generation. Despite of the high demand of VRE-based distributed generation in a distribution system, the installation of photovoltaic (PV) system in a distribution system has been restricted by various problems. In other words, the hosting capacity for high VRE penetration in a distribution system is limited. This paper analyzes the improvements of hosting capacity VRE penetration of stand-alone microgrid (SAMG) with energy storage system (ESS) by considering virtual-slack (VS) control based on power sensitivity. With the pre-defined power sensitivity, the ESS operates as virtual slack in the SAMG by controlling its bus voltage and phase angle indirectly. Therefore, the ESS enables the increase of VRE penetration in the SAMG. The proposed VS control is realized by analyzing the ESS as a virtual slack in power flow analysis based on power sensitivity. Then its validity is demonstrated with the case study on the SAMG in South Korea with practical data.

Cameroon is a lower middle-income country with a population of 25.87 million inhabitants distributed over a surface area of 475,442 ㎢. Cameroon has very rich potentials in renewable energy resources such as solar energy, wind energy, small hydropower, geothermal energy and biomass. However, renewable energy constitutes less than 0.1% of energy mix of the country. The energy generation mix of Cameroon is dominated by large hydropower and thermal power. Cameroon ratified the Paris Agreement in July 2016 with an ambitious 20% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. This study attempts to investigate some renewable energy deployment policy-instruments that could enable the country enhance renewable energy deployment, gain energy independence, fulfill Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and achieve Sustainable Development Goals. It begins with an analysis of the status of energy sector in Cameroon. It further highlights the importance of renewable energy in mitigating climate change by decarbonizing the energy mix of the country to fulfill NDC and SDGs. Moreover, this study proposes some renewable energy deployment policy-solutions to the government. Solar energy is the most feasible renewable energy source in Cameroon. Feed-in Tariffs (FiT), is the best renewable energy support policy for Cameroon. Finally, this study concludes with some recommendations such as the necessity of building an Energy Storage System as well a renewable energy information and statistics infrastructure.

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.
