Since the atmospheric clearness index is main factor for evaluating global-dimming of atmosphere environment, it is necessary to estimate its characteristics all over the major cities in Korea. We have begun collecting clearness index data since 1982 at 16 different cities and considerable effort has been made for constructing a standard value from measured data at each city. The new clearness data for global-dimming analysis will be extensively used by evaluating atmospheric environment as well as by solar PV application system designer or users. From the results, we can conclude that 1) Yearly mean 61.9% of the atmospheric clearness index was evaluated for clear day all over 2) A significant difference of atmospheric clearness index is observed between 1982-1989 and 1990-1997, 1998-2005 through 16 different cities in Korea.

LCPV modules under 5 suns consist of reflective optics and receiver modules, similar to a typical fixed concentration PV module. If they are to be used as a compound parabolic concentrator, which is filled with a dielectric material, a compact plate structure of the fixed CPV can be designed and built at a large acceptance angle. These types of flat-$plate{\mu}$-LCPV modules are suitable for building integrated photovoltaic modules, facade applications, mobile devices, and small home appliances. Therefore, in this study, the possibilities for other application devices were studied and presented by designing and fabricating LCPCs for CPV modules.

This paper presents an application of a multiphase interleaved converter in tracking maximum power points (MPPs) of a photovoltaic (PV) panel regardless of environmental variations. Maximum power from the panel was extracted by means of the well-known the perturb-and-observe (P&O) method. The switching control technique used an interleaving scheme based on multi-unit synchronization. The converter performed harmonic attenuation without affecting the tracking speed. This approach is straightforward, reliable and inexpensive, and could be applied to any higher number of switching cells without difficulty.

This paper presents a current-source-inverter based on a buck-boost configuration and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The proposed circuit has five switches. Among them, only one switch acts as chopping, and the other determine the polarity of output; therefore, it can reduce the switching loss. Because the input inductor current is operated on the discontinuous conduction mode, high power factor can be achieved without additional input current controller. So the overall system shows a simple structure. The operational modes are analysed in depth, and then it was verified through the experimental results using a 150 W prototype.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and battery charging control are two important functions for a solar battery charger. The former improves utilization of the available solar energy, while the latter ensures a prolonged battery life. Nevertheless, complete implementation of both functions can be complex and costly, especially for low voltage application such as standalone street lamps. In this paper, the operation of a solar battery charger for standalone street light systems is investigated. Using only one voltage sensor, the solar charger is able to operate in both MPPT and constant voltage (CV) charging mode, hence providing high performance at a low cost. Using a lab prototype and a solar simulator, the operation of the charger system is demonstrated and its performance under varying irradiance is validated.

A coupled inductor-dual boost-inverter (CIDBI) with a differential structure has been presented for application to a micro-inverter photovoltaic module system due to its turn ratio of a high-voltage level. However, it is difficult to design a CIDBI converter with a conventional PI regulator to be stable and achieve good dynamic performance, given the fact that it is a high order system. In view of this situation, a sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is introduced in this paper, and two different sliding mode controllers (SMCs) are proposed and adopted in the left and right side of two Boost sub-circuits to implement the corresponding regulation of the voltage and current. The schemes of the SMCs have been elaborated in this paper including the establishment of a system variable structure model, selection of the sliding surface, determination of the control law, and presentation of the reaching conditions and sliding domain. Finally, the mathematic analysis and the proposed SMC are verified by experimental results.

국내 제로에너지건축물 의무화를 대응하기 위해서 신재생에너지 자립률을 높이려면 고층 건물일수록 대지면적에 한계가 있고 옥상에 PV모듈을 설치하는 것만으로는 부족하다. 따라서 제로에너지건축물을 실현할 수 있는 핵심 에너지원으로 BIPV(Building Integrated PhotoVoltaic, 이하 BIPV)는 가장 주목받는 산업이다. 이에 본 연구는 BIPV 산업의 올바른 방향 제시와 활성화룰 위해 설계자, 시공자, 제품 제조자, 유지관리자 등 경력 10년 이상 전문가를 대상으로 BIPV 산업의 문제점을 자율 토론 방식으로 설문 조사를 시행하였다. BIPV 적용의 산업적 문제점으로는 제품 인증을 위한 표준 및 인증기준의 범위 확대, 다품종 소량 생산의 현황을 고려한 인증범위 개선, 컬러 모듈과 루버 모듈 및 지붕형 제품을 수용할 수 있는 표준 개정 필요성, 인증제품 의무화를 통한 외산 모듈의 국내 유입 차단의 필요성, BIPV 제품 정보 획득의 어려움, BIPV의 건축 적용 부위 등에 대한 정확한 가이드라인으로 참여자간의 혼란 야기 방지 필요, BIPV 정의의 명확한 정립과 지원 정책이나 제도가 부족하다는 문제들을 도출하였다. 이에 본 연구는 산업계에서 바라보는 시장 변화와 영향을 주고 있는 요소, 경쟁력 강화를 위한 필요한 개선 사항을 바탕으로 대응 방안과 방향성을 제시하고 제안하는데 그 목적이 있다.

Aspheric glass lens have recently been used in camera phone module because they are more effective than spherical ones. In this paper, the grinding condition of the tungsten carbide molding core has been found after applying DOE to the development of the aspheric glass lens for the 3 Megapixel and 2.5x camera-phone module. Also, the ultra precision grinding process was investigated under this condition by experiment. Re-Ir coating was applied on the ground surface of the tungsten carbide molding core. The influence of Re-Ir coating on the form accuracy and surface roughness of molding core was compared and evaluated. The form accuracy and surface roughness of the molding core were improved by application of Re-Ir coating on the surface of the tungsten carbide molding core.

The paper presents a new photovoltaic inverter for stand-alone induction motor application. The proposed system is composed of two stages. First stage is for the photovoltaic dc power feeding and second stage is dedicated to the motor-inverter subsystem and control technique. A direct torque control (DTC) with a novel switching strategy for motor torque ripple minimization is introduced. The novel DTC strategy is based on selecting a suitable voltage vector group for motor torque ripple minimization. A three-level voltage source inverter (VSI) is used instead of a two level inverter because the first has more available vectors and lower ripples in the output current and flux than the second, thus it has lower torque ripples. The photovoltaic array and battery bank are sized and the configuration is indicated based on sun-hour methodology. Simulation results show a comparison between three systems; two level VSI with conventional DTC strategy, three level VSI with conventional DTC, and the proposed system that has a novel DTC switching strategy applied to three level VSI. The results show that the proposed system has lower ripples in the current, flux and torque of the motor.
