The photovoltaic is one of the most important sustainable technologies appliable to architectures. The power performance mainly depends on the installation conditions of them. This study aims to evaluate the power performance of photovoltaic system by the installation conditions, the tracking methods and reflecting mirrors. For the study, the Solar Pro computer simulations have been conducted on installation angles, solar azimuth and solar altitude. Also, the field mock-up tests are performed to of its application to verify the simulation results. Both the results of the experiment and the simulation have proved that the efficiency of 90-degree fixed angle method was higher than that of 30-degree fixed angle, the efficiency of altitude tracking was better than that of azimuth tracking method, and changing both the altitude and the azimuth together is more efficient rather than the shortened tracing way. In addition, the light-concentrating method in which the incidence angle of the sun is controlled by an adhered reflector has been analyzed to have better efficiency than the general method of tracing according to the orbit of the sun. Therefore, this thesis is expected to offer the basic data to set a more effective tracing-type of photovoltaic power generation system in the future. For this, more researches are to be conducted hereafter on a high efficiency drive motor and the establishment of an economic system.

In this study, a numerical model developed for sunshine duration based on GIS data was used. This model considers blocking caused by topography and buildings and it is properly applicable to evaluation of sunshine duration environment in urban areas. The model reasonably well predicted the solar altitude and azimuth angels, compared to those provided by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The developed model was applied to evaluation of sunshine duration environment around the Seonleung Park located near a building-congested area in Seoul. The model well reproduced shadow caused by buildings and/or topography in the numerical domain at 09:00 on August 1, 2015. In addition, the model was applied to finding a suitable measurement sites for pyrheliometer around the Seonleung Park. The model was also usefully applied to finding a suitable site for pyrheliometer in an urban area.

Solar energy depends on the altitude and azimuth of the sun, and the amount of energy collected on the slope depends on the latitude of the area being installed. However, since most solar heating systems are fixed to the ground, it is necessary to analyze the optimal installation angle from the early design stage. However, problems arise when energy consumption is not considered together because heating systems are not used in the summer In this study, the optimum installation angles of the solar collectors according to the latitude of the installation area are not simply determined by the amount of energy collected, but because the system is overheated due to climate change or energy usage patterns, And the amount of additional energy input.

In this paper, we investigate the observations of Venus in daytime that are recorded in the Goryeosa (History of the Goryeo Dynasty, A.D. 918-1392). There are a total of 167 accounts of such observations in this historical book, spanning a period of 378 yr (from 1014 to 1392). These include six accounts where the days of the observation are not specified and two accounts where the phase angles are outside the calculation range of the equation used in our study. We analyze the number distribution of 164 accounts in 16 yr intervals covering the period from 1023 to 1391. We find that this distribution shows its minimum at around 1232, when the Goryeo dynasty moved the capital to the Ganghwa Island because of the Mongol invasion, and its maximum at around 1390, about the time when the dynasty fell. In addition, we calculate the azimuth, altitude, solar elongation, and apparent magnitude of Venus at sunset for 159 observations, excluding the eight accounts mentioned above, using the DE 406 ephemeris and modern astronomical algorithms. We find that the average elongation and magnitude of Venus on the days of those accounts were ${\sim}40^{\circ}$ and -4.5, respectively, whereas the minimum magnitude was -3.8. The results of this study are useful for estimating the practical conditions for observing Venus in daylight with the naked eye and they also provide additional insight into the corresponding historical accounts contained in the Goryeosa.

In this study, the observational environment for sunshine duration at Seoul and Daegu Automated Synoptic Observing Systems (ASOSs) was analyzed using a numerical model. In order to analyze the effects of topography and buildings on observational environment for sunshine duration, the model domains including the elevated building and mountainous areas around Seoul and Daegu ASOSs were considered. Three dimensional topography and buildings used as input data for the numerical model were constructed using a geographic information system (GIS) data. Solar azimuth and altitude angles calculated for the analysis period (one-week for each season in 2008) in this study were validated against those by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI). The starting and ending times of sunshine duration observed at ASOSs largely differed from the respective sunrise and sunset times simply calculated using solar angles and information of ASOSs' latitude and longitude, because uneven topography and elevated buildings around ASOSs cut off sunshine duration right after the sunrise and right before the sunset. The model produced the sunshine indices for Seoul and Daegu ASOSs with the time interval of one minute and the period of one week for each season and we compared the hourly averaged indices with those observed at the ASOSs. One week of which the cloudiness is lowest for each season is selected for analysis. Not only the adjacent buildings but also distant buildings and mountain cut off sunshine duration right after the sunrise and right before the sunset. The buildings and topography cutting off sunshine duration were found for each analyzing date. It was suggested that, in order to evaluate the observational environment for sunshine duration, we need to consider even the information of topography and/or building far away from ASOSs. This study also showed that the analyzing method considering the GIS data is very useful for evaluation of observational environment for sunshine duration.

본 논문에서는 태양광 집광 효율 향상을 위한 많은 연구 방법 중 하나로서 태양광을 효율적으로 집광할 수 있는 TMC(Tracker Motion Controller) 시스템 구성하여 발전효율의 향상성을 갖춘 집광형 태양광 발전시스템(CPV)과 실리콘을 이용한 PV 시스템으로 실험하였다. 태양추적 발전시스템에 사용되는 마이크로프로세서는 실시간으로 태양광의 고도와 위도 각을 계산한다. 또 한 센서로부터 값을 받아들이고, 태양의 현재 위치 값을 계산하여 모터를 제어하며 중앙제어 시스템과의 통신을 하기 때문에 적용 가능성에 대한 부담이 커지고 있다. 따라서 집광형 태양광 발전시스템에 적합한 프로그램 방식과 센서방식을 혼합한 하이브리드 방식의 알고리즘 통하여 ARM코어를 내장한 TMC에 구현하였으며, 구현된 TMC를 통하여 기존 PV시스템, CPV 시스템 대비하여 국내에서의 발전효율을 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 기존의 센서방식을 이용한 집광형 태양광 발전 시스템에 GPS통신 값을 통해 프로그램 방식의 천문학 계산에 의하여 지평좌표계에서의 태양의 방위각과 고도각을 계산하는 하이브리드 태양위치추적 방식을 실험한 결과를 보면 맑고 일사량이 높은 날에는 큰 차이를 보이진 않았다. 그러나 흐리고 맑은 날 등 일사량이 없어 센서가 태양의 위치를 추적하지 못하고 멈춘 상태에서 일정 시간이 지난 후 태양이 센서의 사각지대에서 나타나면 센서의 오류가 생길 수 있는 기후변화에서는 오히려 센서방식보다 더 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다. 태양전지의 발전효율이 높아지고 생산발전 단가가 줄이는 부분에 대한 지속적인 연구, 더불어 기후의 변화에 따른 최적의 발전 능력을 가진 TMC를 적용한 고효율 집광형 시스템에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 필요할 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, the numerical model was developed to evaluate the observational environment of sunshine duration and, for evaluating the accuracy and utility of the model, it was verified against the observational data measured at Dae-gu Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS) located in an urban area. Three-dimensional topography and building configuration as the surface input data of the model were constructed using a Geographic Information System (GIS) data. First, the accuracy of the computing planetary positions suggested by Paul Schlyter was verified against the data provided by Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and the results showed that the numerical model predicted the Sun's position (the solar azimuth and altitude angles) quite precisely. Then, this model was applied to reproduce the sunshine duration at the Dae-gu ASOS. The observed and calculated sunshine durations were similar to each other. However, the observed and calculated sunrise (sunset) times were delayed (curtailed), compared to those provided by KASI that considered just the ASOS's position information such as latitude, longitude, and elevation height but did not consider the building and topography information. Further investigation showed that this was caused by not only the topographic characteristic (higher in the east and lower in the west) but also the buildings located in the southeast near the sunrise and the southwest near the sunset. It was found that higher building resolution increased the accuracy of the model. It was concluded that, for the accurate evaluation of the sunshine duration, detailed building and topography information around the observing sites was required and the numerical model developed in this study was successful to predict and/or the sunshine duration of the ASOS located in an urban area.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 ENVI-met을 활용하여 여름철 도로 방향과 가로수 식재형태에 따른 도시공간의 열환경 개선 효과를 분석하였다. 수목 식재 시 낮 시간 동안의 기온과 풍속은 감소하고 상대습도는 증가하였다. 평균복사온도와 인간 열환경지수 PET(physiological equivalent temperature), UTCI(universal thermal climate index)는 수목 식재 시 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 수목 식재 시 가장 큰 변화를 보인 기상요소는 평균복사온도로, PET와 UTCI 변화량 또한 평균복사온도와 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 가장 큰 저감효과를 보인 수목식재방법은 수고가 낮고, 수관폭이 넓고, 엽면적지수가 높은 수목을 좁은 간격으로 식재하는 시나리오(LWDN)였다. 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI는 태양의 고도 및 방위와 건물의 위치에 따른 그림자 형성 조건에 따라 큰 차이를 보였으며, 건물에 의한 태양복사에너지 차단이 클수록 수목에 의한 영향이 줄어들었다. 특히, 동측과 서측 보도에서는 시간대별 저감량에서 큰 차이를 보였다. 가장 저감효과가 큰 수목식재 시나리오인 LWDN으로 식재하였을 때 서측 방면에 위치한 북서, 서, 남서측 보도는 오전 시간대인 10:00에 수목이 없는 경우에 비해 PET 8.6-12.3℃, UTCI 4.2-4.5℃, 동측 방면에 위치한 북동, 동, 남동측 보도는 오후 시간대인 16:00에 PET 8.1-11.8℃, UTCI 4.4-5.0℃로 큰 저감효과를 보였다. 반면, 가장 저감효과가 적었던 수고가 높고, 수관폭이 좁으며, 엽면적지수가 낮은 수목을 넓은 간격으로 식재하였을 때 최대 저감량은 동측 방면 보도에서 PET 1.8℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하, 서측 방면 보도에서 PET 3℃, UTCI 0.9℃ 이하로 적은 저감효과를 보였다. 또한, 건물에 의한 영향으로 인해 수목영향이 적은 시간대에는 수목식재 시나리오 간 평균복사온도, PET, UTCI 저감효과의 차이가 크지 않았다. 이 연구결과는 가로수 식재 시 여름철 도시 열환경 저감을 위한 모델 개발에 기초자료로서 활용가능할 것이다.
