This paper deals with the operation of a hybrid power generation system made with photovoltaic cells and piezoelectric materials. The system can produce power from the wind as well as from the sun subject to their availability. Irrespective of the largeness of their power production, the power developed by both generators (i.e., phtovoltaic cells and piezoelectric cells) were combined and stored before it was applied to a load. Especially, the AC power (current) developed from each piezoelectric generator was converted by a full wave bridge rectifier and then combined prior to its storage in a capacitor. It was observed that the system can produce a maximum output power of 6.49 mW at loading resistance of $100{\Omega}$.

Photovoltaic and Thermal collector (PV/T) systems are renewable energy devices that can produce electricity and heat energy simultaneously using solar panels and heat exchangers. Since PV/T systems are exposed to the outdoors, their reliability is affected by various environmental factors. This paper presents a reliability test for a PV/T system and evaluates the test results. The reliability assessment entails performance, environment, safety, and life tests. The factor that had the greatest influence on the life of the system was the hydraulic pressure applied to the heat exchanger. A test was conducted by repeatedly applying pressure to the PV/T system, and a reliability analysis was conducted based on the test results. As a result, the shape parameter (β) value of 5.6658 and the B10life 308,577 cycles at the lower 95% confidence interval were obtained.

In this study, a modified ripple correlation control (RCC) maximum-power point-tracking (MPPT) algorithm is proposed for a single-stage single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) on a grid-connected photovoltaic system (GCPVS). Unlike classic RCC methods, the proposed algorithm does not require high-pass and low-pass filters or the increment of the AC component filter function in the voltage control loop. A simple arithmetic mean function is used to calculate the average value of the photovoltaic (PV) voltage, PV power, and PV voltage ripples for the MPPT of the RCC method. Furthermore, a high-accuracy and high-precision MPPT is achieved. The performance of the proposed algorithm for the single-stage single-phase VSI GCPVS is investigated through simulation and experimental results.

The demands for photovoltaic systems on a large scale have grown dramatically and require new technologies to get the high efficiency and reliable operations of power conversion systems. These needs can be realized by the cost-effective and high performance digital revolutions and faster semiconductor switching devices. However, the new power systems have been more sophisticated and their reliability becomes critical issues. In this paper, a new fault-tolerance power conversion scheme for the photovoltaic systems is proposed. The proposed fault-tolerant scheme is able to supply energy from solar panels to loads intermittently in spite of a front boost converter open failure, and its voltage and current controllers are designed to improve the transient performance by using an average model design scheme. The proposed approach is verified both by simulations. The results will enable more timely and wide usage of alternative/renewable energy systems resulting in increased energy security.

Photovoltaic energy conversion becomes main focus of many researches due to its promising potential as source for future electricity and has many advantages than the other alternative energy sources like wind, solar, ocean, biomass, geothermal etc. In Photovoltaic power generation multilevel inverters play a vital role in power conversion. The three different topologies, diode-clamped (neutral-point clamped) inverter, capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor) inverter and cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter are widely used in these multilevel inverters. Among the three topologies, cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter is more suitable for photovoltaic applications since each pv array can act as a separate dc source for each h-bridge module. This paper presents a single phase Cascaded H-bridge five level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic application using sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique. This inverter output voltage waveform reduces the harmonics in the generated current and the filtering effort at the input. The control strategy allows the independent control of each dc-link voltages and tracks the maximum power point of PV strings. This topology can inject to the grid sinusoidal input currents with unity power factor and achieves low harmonic distortion. A PID control algorithm is implemented in Arm Processor LPC2148. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation and is implemented in a single phase 100W prototype. The results of hardware are compared with simulation results. The proposed system offers improved performance over conventional three level inverter in terms of THD.

본 연구는 태양광 모듈 탄소인증제를 중심으로 에너지경관의 변동에 주목했다. 세계 태양광시장이 중국 기업 중심으로 재편됨에 따라, 정부는 태양광산업의 경쟁력 강화를 추진했다. 그러나 정부 주도로 구성된 제도는 에너지경관의 역동적인 변화를 담지 못하는 한계가 존재했다. 이를 배경으로, 다층적 관점(multi-level perspective)의 "거시환경-사회기술체제-틈새"로 이어지는 층위를 탐색해 사회기술체제로서 정부와 국내 태양광 기업이 세계시장 변화에 대응하는 과정을 추적했다. 각 층위의 변화 속도와 혁신적 실험이 일어나는 틈새에 대해 주목했던 다층적 관점의 개념적 논의에 문제를 제기하며, 공간에 따라 차별적으로 변동하는 에너지경관을 추적해 이러한 간극을 메우고자 했다. 이러한 공간적 논의는 각 국가별로 상이한 탄소배출계수, 산업 특성 등을 추적해, 구성된 제도에 대해 보다 높은 설명력을 가질 수 있다. 또한, 정부 주도의 재생에너지 정책 도입의 문제점과 함의에 대한 토론을 통해, 보다 현장 중심적인 제도의 형성과 이행의 필요성을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 태양광 발전과 계통 연계를 위한 인터페이스 회로로서 Buck-Boost 형태에 기초한 전류형 PWM 인버터를 제안한다. 제안된 전류형 PU 인버터는 두 개의 Buck-Boost토폴로지를 조합하여 구성하였으며, 입력단의 인덕터 전류를 전류 불연속 모드로 동작시켜 별도의 입력 전류의 검출 없이도 출력단을 단위 역률화 할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 결과적으로 전체 시스템의 간략화가 가능하며, 특히, 부가적인 승압 장치 없이 태양전지 발전 전압 보다 높은 실효치의 교류 출력을 얻을 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안하는 인버터에 대한 동작을 이론적으로 분석하고 하드웨어 구현의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 시제품을 제작하고 실험하였다.
