The potential induced degradation (PID) phenomenon shows severe power loss within several years from the initial installation of solar power system. The accumulated power loss by PID is inevitable because the PID is suspected only if the power loss exceeds several percent. In this paper, we analyzed the cases of PID diagnosis and recovery by visiting the suspected PID site about 17 months after the installation of the 100kW PV system. The power difference of the two 50kW inverters was more than 20kWh, and the PR difference was more than 8%. From the beginning of the installation, the difference in power gradually increased. The recovery was observed for about 7 months by applying 1000V in the reverse bias at night. As a result, the power difference of the two inverters was recovered to within 2kWh. In the case of a power station suffering from PID in the field, it will be helpful for stable development operation by quick diagnosis and problem solving.

This study is concerned with the analysis of two renewable technologies for electric energy production: wind energy and photovoltaic energy. The two technologies were assessed and compared by economic point of view, by using selected indicators characterized by a clear calculation approach, requirement of information easy to be collected, clear, but even complete, interpretation of results. The used economic indicators are Levelized Cost of Energy, $CO_2$ abatement cost and fossil fuel saving specific cost; these last two specifically aimed at evaluating the different capabilities that renewable technologies have to cut down direct $CO_2$ emissions and to avoid fossil fuel extraction. The two technologies were compared also from the environmental point of view by applying Life Cycle Assessment approach and using the environmental impact categories from the Eco-indicator'95 method. The economic analysis was developed by taking into account different energy system sizes and different geographic areas in order to compare different European conditions (Italy, Germany and Denmark) in term of renewable resource availability and market trend. The environmental analysis was developed comparing two particular types of PV and wind plants, respectively residential and micro-wind turbine, located in Italy. According to the three calculated economic indicators, the wind energy emerged as more favorable than PV energy. From the environmental point of view, both the technologies are able to provide savings for almost all the considered environmental impact categories. The proposed approach, based on the use of economic and environmental indicators may be useful in supporting the policies and the decision making procedures concerned with the promotion and use of renewables, in reference to the specific geographic, economic and temporal conditions.

태양광 발전은 일사량만 있으면 전기에너지를 얻을 수 있기 때문에, 새로운 에너지 공급원으로 용도가 급증하고 있다. 본 논문은 실제 태양광 발전 시스템의 컨버터 출력을 이용하여 장단기 출력 예측을 하였다. 예측 알고리즘은 다중선형회귀와 머신러닝의 지도학습 중 분류모델인 서포트 벡터 머신 그리고 DNN과 LSTM 등 딥러닝을 이용하였다. 또한 기상요소의 입출력 구조에 따라 3개의 모델을 이용하였다. 장기 예측은 월별, 계절별, 연도별 예측을 하였으며, 단기 예측은 7일간의 예측을 하였다. 결과로서 RMSE 측도에 의한 예측 오차로 비교해 본 결과 다중선형회귀와 SVM 보다는 딥러닝 네트워크가 예측 정확도 측면에서 더 우수하였다. 또한, DNN 보다 시계열 예측에 우수한 모델인 LSTM이 예측 정확도 측면에서 우수하였다. 입출력 구조에 따른 실험 결과는 모델 1보다 모델 2가 오차가 적었으며, 모델 2보다는 모델 3이 오차가 적었다.

본 전기자동차(EV)의 사용을 늘리고 계통 부담을 최소화하기 위해 재생에너지를 사용하는 마이크로그리드가 중요한 역할을 담당해야 한다. 마이크로그리드는 소형 디젤발전과 같은 화석연료를 사용할 수도 있지만, 많은 경우에 친환경 에너지인 재생에너지로부터 에너지를 공급받을 수 있다. 그러나 태양광과 풍력과 같은 재생에너지는 가변적인 출력 특성을 갖는다. 따라서 전기자동차의 충·방전 에너지 수요를 충족하는 동시에 안정적으로 부하 전력을 공급하기 위해서 마이크로그리드에 디젤발전 또는 전기차-그리드(V2G)를 병행 에너지원으로 활용하는 전기자동차 충전인프라 구성에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 이와 같은 배경으로 본 연구에서는 태양광발전, 풍력발전, 디젤발전과 V2G를 활용하여 부하에 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 마이크로그리드의 모델을 구성하였다. 제안된 마이크로그리드는 태양광발전과 풍력발전을 1차 공급에너지원으로 전력 수요에 대응토록 하고, 부하의 전기차의 운영 유형과 부하 동기기의 회전속도를 판단하여 부족 전력에 대해 디젤발전으로부터 안정적으로 전력을 공급할 수 있는 모델이다. 이렇게 제안된 모델의 시스템 성능을 검증하기 위해 MATLAB/Simulink로 시뮬레이션함으로써 마이크로그리드의 안정적 운영 방안을 고찰하였다.

풍력이나 태양광 같은 재생에너지의 활용은 온실가스 감축과 경제성 확보를 얻기 위해서 많은 나라에서 피할 수 없는 선택이 되고 있다. 그러나 재생에너지의 간헐성 때문에 계통으로 연계되는 재생에너지의 비중이 커지게 되어 얻어지는 문제가 더욱 크게 부각되고 있다. 복합에너지시스템은 일반적으로 2개 이상의 재생에너지원이 서로 함께 사용되면서 시스템 효율을 증가시킬 뿐만 아니라 에너지 공급에서 더욱 안정적이다. 전력시스템을 비교해 보면 복합에너지시스템의 제어 및 최적화는 모델링, 운전 및 운영계획의 요소가 더욱 어려워진다. 마이크로그리드시스템을 갖는 삼마도에 대한 복합에너지시스템 성능개선의 주 목적은 다양한 분산전원, 에너지저장장치, 전력계통의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서 상호 조화롭게 조정하는 것으로 운전비용을 줄이고 최상의 경제적인 이득을 얻기 위한 것이다. 본 논문은 최적의 마이크로그리드시스템을 갖는 개선된 삼마도 복합에너지시스템을 제안한다. 시험운전결과 ESS의 SOC 변동폭이 약 12%로 낮아졌으며, 태양광 발전제약이 제거되었고, 디젤발전기의 운전시간이 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The object of this paper is the controller for supplying stably power in a separate house in which a hybrid electrical storage system with a stand-alone photovoltaic/wind power generation system and a small generator is applied. In the photovoltaic/wind hybrid power system used in the separate house, when only the battery is used in sunless days, the capacity of the battery is become larger. In particular, as in recent days, if cloudy days are frequent due to anomaly climate, it is difficult to estimate the number of sunless days. Accordingly, it is preferable to build the electrical storage system that numbers of sunshineless days are to be controlled and a shortage amount of the power generation capacity is to be handled by a small generator system. In order to supply stably power of new renewable energy such as solar to any separate houses, it is preferable to reduce the capacity of battery by decreasing the number of sunless days when estimating the capacity of battery and to drive the small generator for compensation of the power shortage. Such system needs components including inverters for photovoltaic and wind power generation system, batteries and controllers for automatically driving the small generator, based upon the nature of the stand-alone house, and it is preferable to use the controller having a simpler and higher stability by adopting the all-in-one scheme to facilitate its maintenance.

The worldwide CPV(Concentrated Photo Voltaic) market has been increased rapidly due to the increase in large-scale PV(Photo Voltaic) plants which are situated in sun-rich areas with either a Mediterranean or equatorial-type climate. CPV systems are arguably some of the most important devices in the production of electricity within regions with a sun-rich climate, particularly those which benefit from abundant direct solar irradiation. We have developed a 500X CPV module with rated power of 170Wp. The CPV module must satisfy the constraint of having a sensitive tracking accuracy due to the limited tolerance of the acceptance angle in intrinsic optical design. In this study, the module's acceptance angle used was designed with a tolerance angle of ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ in the secondary optics design. In general, non-concentrated module type 2-axis trackers have a tolerance angle larger than ${\pm}1^{\circ}$ due to standard silicon-type modules which are insensitive to the tracking accuracy of the sun. They have a tolerance angle of ${\pm}2{\sim}4^{\circ}$, which fails to exert a significant influence on the performance of the module. This paper provides a study of an experimental variation of the efficiency of the CPV module in terms of its tracking accuracy. Also, the performance of the module is studied from the perspective of temperature and direct irradiation.

Recently, we have developed p-i-n a-Si:H single junction thin film solar cells with RF (13.56MHz) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system, and also successfully fabricated the mini modules ($>300cm^2$), using the laser patterning technique to form an integrated series connection. The efficiency of a mini module was 7.4% ($Area=305cm^2$, Isc=0.25A, Voc=14.74V, FF=62%). To fabricate large area modules, it is important to optimise the integrated series connection, without damaging the cell. We have newly installed the laser patterning equipment that consists of two different lasers, $SHG-YVO_4$ (${\lambda}=0.532{\mu}m$) and YAG (${\lambda}=1.064{\mu}m$). The mini-modules are formed through several scribed lines such as pattern-l (front TCO), pattern-2 (PV layers) and pattern-3 (BR/back contact). However, in the case of pattern-3, a high-energy part of laser shot damaged the textured surface of the front TCO, so that the resistance between the each cells decreases due to an incomplete isolation. In this study, the re-deposition of SnOx from the front TCO, Zn (BR layer) and Al (back contact) on the sidewalls of pattern-3 scribed lines was observed. Moreover, re-crystallization of a-Si:H layers due to thermal damage by laser patterning was evaluated. These cause an increase of a leakage current, result in a low efficiency of module. To optimize a-Si:H single junction thin film modules, a laser beam profile was changed, and its effect on isolation of scribed lines is discussed in this paper.
