최근의 신 교통시스템 개발 동향은 주로 지속가능하고 친환경적인 교통수단을 제공하는데 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 그 중에서도, 수요응답형 순환교통(PRT: Personal Rapid Transit) 시스템은 그 가능성 때문에 주목을 받고 있으며, 첨단 전기 자동차(EV) 개발 기술과의 융합을 통해서 경쟁력은 보다 향상되고 있다. 하지만 전기 배터리에 의해 구동되는 차량의 경우 안정적이고 효율적인 운영의 측면에서 기술적인 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 기술적인 난제를 극복하고 전기에너지를 기반으로 한 교통수단의 보급을 증대하기 위하여 태양전지에 의한 보조 전력 공급을 위한 설계적 접근방법에 대해서 모형실험을 통해서 논한다. 그 결과, 실제 차량에 적용했을 시 보조 전원 공급장치로서 일부 서비스 기기에 소요되는 전력량의 대략 11% 정도를 감당할 수 있을 것으로 예측되었다. 특히, 유연소재 태양전지의 장점은 저렴하고 가벼우며 디자인 의도를 최대한 살릴 수 있다는 데 있다. 무엇보다도 유연함과 용이한 부착성은 다양한 분야에서의 확대 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is necessary for photovoltaic (PV) power system application to extract the maximum possible power under changing irradiation and temperature conditions. The β-parameter-based method has many advantages over conventional MPPT methods; such advantages include fast tracking speed in the transient stage, small oscillations in the steady state, and moderate implementation complexity. However, a problem in the implementation of the conventional beta method is the choice of an appropriate scaling factor N, which greatly affects both the steady-state and transient performance. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified β-parameter-based method, and the determination of the N is discussed in detail. The study shows that the choice of the scaling factor N is determined by the changes of the value of β during changes in irradiation or temperature. The proposed method can respond accurately and quickly during changes in irradiation or temperature. To verify the proposed method, a photovoltaic power system with MPPT function was built in Matlab/Simulink, and an experimental prototype was constructed with a solar array emulator and dSPACE. Simulation and experimental results are illustrated to show the advantages of the improved β-parameter-based method with the optimized scaling factor.

Recently, various renewable systems have been developed and applied in Korea. However, there are many systems which were not utilized in real buildings or not widely spread in the market. Furthermore, the attention of most users focused on several certain system such as PV or solar system. Therefore, this research aims to find user's needs for renewable energy based on perception surveys to improve the acceptance of technology in line with the world's energy flow. The survey was conducted by classifying respondents by various criteria, and the results were analyzed using AHP technique and CVM technique, focusing on preference and acceptance. According to the results of the survey, it was found that the people felt the need for renewable energy but lacked knowledge about renewable energy compared to the various government-implemented renewable energy supply policies. Therefore, a government-level policy is needed so that the people can have universal knowledge about renewable energy system.

This paper presents the modeling for islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid and the verification of the proposed supervisory controller for energy management for this microgrid. The supervisory controller allows the microgrid system to operate in different power flows through the proposed control algorithm, it has several roles in the management of the energy flow between the different components of the microgrid for reliable operation. The proposed microgrid has both essential objectives such as the maximum use of renewable energies resources and the reduction of multiple conversion processes in an individual AC or DC microgrids. The microgrid system considered for this study has a solar photovoltaic (PV), a wind turbine (WT), a battery (BT), and a AC/DC loads. A small islanded hybrid AC/DC microgrid has been modeled and simulated using the MATLAB-Simulink. The simulation results show that the system can maintain stable operation under the proposed supervisory controller when the microgrid is switched from one operating mode of energy flow to another.

본 논문은 1,185세대가 거주하고 있는 공동주택을 대상지로 하여 정부지원제도인 '태양광주택보급사업'과 '발전차액지원제도'를 각각 활용하여 PV 시스템 도입을 도입할 경우의 경제성을 비교 분석하였다. 각 시나리오별 분석 결과, 수익으로 전력판매수익 만을 고려한 경우, NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -560백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -87백만원으로 분석되었다. 전력판매수익과 온실가스 배출권 수익을 함께 고려한 경우에도 NPV가 보조금 지원제도는 -530백만원으로 분석되었고, 발전차액지원제도는 -57백만원으로 분석되어 모두 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났다. PV 시스템 도입으로 인해 회피되는 대기오염물질로 인한 사회적 편익을 함께 분석한 결과도 그 편익이 미미하여 여전히 경제성이 없는 것으로 평가된다. 할인율과 초기비용의 변동을 기준으로 민감도 분석을 한 경우, 보조금 지원제도의 경우에는 할인율을 3%까지 낮추고, 초기 설비 투자 비용을 정부 제시기준 단가인 721만원/kW에서 650만원/kW로 낮춘 것에 배출권 수익까지 포함한 경우에도 여전히 사업성이 없는 사업으로 나타났지만, 발전차액 지원 제도의 경우에는 배출권 수익을 포함하지 않고도 할인율 약 7.2%와 초기 설비투자비용 684만원/kW에서 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되어 발전차액지원제도가 PV 시스템 도입에 훨씬 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 사회적 비용을 고려한 경우에는 보조금제도를 활용한 모든 시나리오는 배출권 수익과 환경편익을 모두 포함하여도 수익성이 없는 사업으로 나타났으나, 발전차액지원제도를 활용한 시나리오의 경우에는 배출권 수입을 제외하고도 할인율 7.2%와 초기비용 686만원/kW가 각각 손익분기점이 되면서 수익성이 있는 사업으로 전환되었다. 본 연구의 결과, 할인율이 7.2% 이하가 되든지 초기 설비투자비용이 정부 제시 기준 단가보다 4.9% 낮아진다면 발전차액지원제도 하에서도 공동주택의 태양광발전시스템이 경제성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 우리나라의 높은 아파트 보급률과 PV 시스템 도입으로 발생하는 긍정적인 사회적 환경적 편익을 고려하면 공동주택의 태양광 시설 설치에 대해 발전차액지원제도를 확대 지원함으로써 화석연료의 사용을 절감하고, 온실가스 배출을 줄여서 에너지자급도 제고와 기후변화에 대한 대응을 통해 녹색성장에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, reflecting long-term climate characteristics, we analyzed electricity generation and generation characteristics of 3kWp PV system, which was semi-integrated with air duct behind. Using PVsyst as a simulation analysis tool, we inputted "National reference standard weather data" of 16 regions as a typical climatic data. The result is summarized as follows: First, the national average annual electricity generation was 1,312 kWh/kWp (StDev, ${\sigma}=71$). It was most abundant in Mokpo with 1,434 kWh/kWp, which was average 21% greater than the lowest with 1,165 kWh/kWp in Seoul and 1,197 kWh/kWp in Jeju. National average daily generating time based on STC was 3.6 hours (${\sigma}=0.43$), and that of Mokpo and Seoul was 3.9 and 3.2 hours respectively. Second, Jeju showed the great difference of annual monthly generation by month (annual average = 99.7 kWh/kWp, ${\sigma}=25.5$), while Jinju showed the smallest difference (annual average = 115.5 kWh/kWp, ${\sigma}=10.6$). Generation in Jeju was at the largest in April with 132.2 kWh/kWp, which was 2.3 times greater than the lowest 55.2 kWh/kWp in January. However, generation in Jinju was at the largest in March with 129.3 kWh/kWp, which was only 1.3 times greater than the lowest 101.1 kWh/kWp in June. Third, the annual average PR was the highest in Incheon with 85.8% and the lowest in Jeju with 83.2%. PR of Mokpo was 84.3%, which was lower than that of national average.

A dynamic economic dispatch and control method is proposed to minimize the overall generating cost for a stand-alone microgrid in DongAo Island, which is integrated with wind turbine generator, solar PV, diesel generator, battery storage, the seawater desalination system and the conventional loads. A new dispatching strategy is presented based on the ranking of component generation costs and two different control modes, in which diesel generator and battery storage alternate to act as the master power source to follow system power fluctuation. The optimal models and GA-based optimization process are given to minimize the overall system generating cost subject to the corresponding constraints and the proposed dispatch strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in the stand-alone microgrid in DongAo Island, and the results provide a feasible theoretical and technical basis for optimal energy management and operation control of stand-alone microgrid.

More than 80% of electric loads need DC electricity rather than AC at the moment. If DC power could be supplied directly to the terminal loads, power conversion stages including rectifiers, converters, and power adapters can be reduced or simplified. Therefore, DC microgrids may be able to improve energy efficiency of power distribution systems. In addition, DC microgrids can increase the penetration level of renewable energy resources because many renewable energy resources such as solar photovoltaic(PV) generators, fuel cells, and batteries generate electric power in the form of DC power. The integration of the DC generators to AC electric power systems requires the power conversion circuits that may cause additional energy loss. This paper discusses the capability and feasibility of DC microgrids with regard to energy efficiency analysis through detailed dynamic simulation of DC and AC microgrids. The dynamic simulation models of DC and AC microgrids based on the Microgrid Test System in KEPCO Research Institute are described in detail. Through simulation studies on various conditions, this paper compares the energy efficiency and advantages of DC and AC microgrids.

By introducing RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard) for reduction of greenhouse gas, Renewable energy sources have becoming widespread gradually. However, Renewable energy sources, such as wind power and PV are difficult to control the output and they have intermittent characteristics of the output. These characteristics would cause some problems when it is connected in the power system. In order to solve these problems, Energy Storage Systems(ESS) are considered to use. Although there are many different storage devices, the utilization of Secondary Battery is the one of the best ways to stabilize an output fluctuation of RES because of its fast responsibility. For that reason, it would better fit a large-capacity of Secondary battery for stabilization. However, batteries cannot be installed with a large capacity blindly because of its expensive cost. So to select proper capacity of the battery is an important consideration. This paper presented a methodology for the optimal capacity and operation of ESS in microgrids.

In this paper, compare and analyze existent MPPT algorithms. Existent algorithms have defects which don't generate it in a partial shade or low insolation. Therefore, to supplement it, we design improved IncCond algorithm consisted of a Aux. switch and capacitor with Generation Control circuit which can always obtain maximum generation power at the factor which is reduced generational efficiency by partial shade. Generation Control circuit is method which can always get maximum output power as it regularly controls each voltage of serial connected solar cell. Accordingly, it can improve efficiency and confidence of utility interaction inverter. Construction of system use a low price PIC16F87X. We analyze special character according to system operation through simulation and prove the validity through experiments.
