In this paper, the ideal standard design and construction of plant factory systems with the Green IT technologies is proposed. For feasibility and problem analysis, a container-type plant factory which was integrated with hardware and software of elemental technologies was operated as a test bed. This operation testing and research will be the foundation of the future construction and operation of large plant factories.

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.

태양전지에 관한 많은 모델이 제안되어 왔으나 대부분은 특정 일사량에서 측정된 태양전지의 I-V 특성커브를 기준으로 보간법을 사용하여 운전점을 구하는 모델링 방식을 사용하고 있으며, 태양전지의 동특성 모델에 관한 연구는 매우 드물다. 효율적인 에너지 변환을 위한 고성능 전력변환기의 설계를 위해서는 태양전지의 정특성 및 동특성에 관한 정확한 정보가 요구된다. 태양전지의 정특성은 제조사에 의해 일반적으로 측정되어 공개되므로 용이하게 이해될 수 있으나 동특성은 그렇지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 임피던스 분광법(Impedance Spectroscopy)을 이용하여 태양전지 모듈의 동특성 모델을 개발하고, 개발된 모델의 유용함과 정밀함을 실험을 통해 검증 하였다. 개발된 동특성 모델은 정밀한 태양전지 시뮬레이션과 새로운 MPPT 알고리즘 개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

국제적으로 해운분야 등 온실가스 배출량 규제를 강화하고 있으며, 정부에서도 '저탄소 녹색성장'을 위한 신재생 에너지 비율을 확대 추진함에 따라 육상 녹색성장을 위한 시도는 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 친환경 에너지를 선박에 이용한 노력은 부족한 실정이다. 또한 현재까지 연구된 태양광 시스템의 경우 기존 선박의 동력을 대체하여 추진용으로 사용하기에는 실용성이 없으므로, 기존 선박 발전시스템을 연계한 태양광 하이브리드 발전시스템의 연구개발이 필요하며, 따라서 태양광을 선박용 에너지로 활용하기 위한 선박용 하이브리드 발전 시스템 개념 설계 및 설치 기준에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다.

Recently the study is being addressed on the energy economy as greatly as possible. The researches on light source that have higher efficiency than the exiting are performing. The high-power LED is the representative one among those. There are two fields in the research on the high-power LED, the ordinary illuminating apparatus and the night illuminating apparatus using wind and solar energy. In this paper, we validated the probability of using high-power LED as illuminating apparatus and proposed the novel LED power equipment that has more stability and better efficiency than the exiting method. By using the propose method the -R-E-A-C-T is reduced and the efficiency improved.

A dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) method for photovoltaic power systems using II-SEPIC (Isolated Inverse-SEPIC; Single Ended Primary Inductance Converter) is presented and a current-mode dP/dV feedback-controlled MPPT method is devised to apply for the PV power converter system. A control strategy for the current-mode dP/dV feedback control system is developed in this paper and the proposed MPPT shows relatively satisfactory dynamics against rapidly changing insolation conditions. In order to verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method, simulations and experiments of the PV power system using II-SEPlC converter are performed. These simulation and experiment results show that the proposed method enables the PV power system to extract maximum power from the photovoltaic module against the solar insolation variation.

We already fabricated a proto-type HTS charging system with photovoltaic (PV) system and obtained design parameters for DC converter and HTS charging system. In order to develop the real scale charging system efficiently, we suggested a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller using a perturb and observe (P&O) MPPT algorithm for PV system. In this paper, we designed and simulated the MPPT controller for the real scale HTS charging system. As well as, the PV module has been analyzed by solving solar cell equivalent equations. The simulated and theoretical results presented here are being considered the next study which addresses the design and fabrication parameters.

A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm using fuzzy controller was considered. MPPT method was implemented based on the voltage and reference PV voltage value was obtained from Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-model of PV modules. Therefore, measuring only the PV module voltage is adequate for MPPT operation. Fuzzy controller is used to directly control dc-dc buck converter. The simulation results have been used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The proposed method is compared with conventional PO(perturbation & observation), IC(Incremental Conductance) method. The nonlinearity and adaptiveness of fuzzy controller provided good performance under parameter variations such as solar irradiation.

A coverglass pattern was designed to improve the annual electrical energy production of a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) module installed in the exterior walls of buildings. The transmittance pattern was calculated using ray tracing, and the results were derived by optimizing the simulation using Taguchi's method. We obtained the optimal pattern by analyzing the conventional patterns for improving the transmittance and derived design factors by quantifying the pattern. By calculating the influence of electrical energy on each design factor, we obtained the optimal coverglass pattern that produced the maximum annual electrical energy. The annual electrical energy production improved by approximately 11.79% compared to the non-patterned coverglass.
