This aim of the study is to demonstrate the effect of a photovoltaic module installed on a small wind-photovoltaic hybrid generation system. Computational fluid dynamics(CFD) is used to interpret the velocity field around the photovoltaic module and the blade areas of a wind turbine. According to the simulation results, it is obvious that x_velocity and y_velocity varies very significantly with time near the photovoltaic module. This would lead to an increase of periodic wind load caused by flow separation at the edge of the photovoltaic module. This study discusses the flow characteristics in term of velocity and frequency analysis. Moreover we suggest a distance between a photovoltaic module and a wind turbine to avoid partially the negative effect caused by the photovoltaic module.

The lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE) can be observed in semiconductors by irradiating a light spot position between electrodes on sample's surface. Because lateral photovoltaic voltage (LPV) is sensitively changed by light spot position, a LPE device has been tried as a position-sensitive detector. This study discusses the correlation between LPV and conductivity in p-type silicon and nano-structured Au deposited p-type silicon (nano-Au silicon), respectively. Conductivity measurement of the sample was carried out using the four-wire method to eliminate contact resistance, and conductivity dependence on LPV was simultaneously measured by changing the light irradiation position. The result showed a strong correlation between conductivity and LPV in the p-type silicon sample. The correlation coefficient was 0.87. The correlation coefficient between LPV and conductivity for the nano-Au silicon sample was 0.41.

The photovoltaic behaviors ahve been observed with a sandwich-type cell, consisting of a junction between .betha.-carotene and stannic oxide conducting layer to provide a junction electrode. In the stannic oxide and .betha.-carotene junction it was found that its electromotive forse decreased to a value smaller than the original one. This is due to a space charge formation. Photovoltage reached approximately 40mV with an irradiation energy of 250Kcal/M$^{2}$hr. It appeared that a magnitude of the photovoltaic response was proportional to the logarithm of irradiance. The time constant of the photovoltaic effect was shown to be approximately 0.7 sec. The wavelength dependence of the photovoltaic behavior was very anomalous. It is assumed that such an anomalous photoresponse depends on a internal capacitance due to some bubble during process to make a cell.

The thermal distribution of 2D and 3D p-n photovoltaic diode structures with and without surface texturing has been studied. By analysis of the numerical simulation results of the I-V characteristics and lattice temperature distributions the effect of different texturing structures on the characteristics of silicon p-n photovoltaic devices has been studied systematically. The efficiency of the device having surface texturing shows more than ~2% enhancement compared to the reference devices which did not have texturing. In addition, the effect of the density of the texturing groove has been studied and it has been confirmed that the texturing structure not only improves the light trapping but also plays an important role in the heat radiation.

The most powerful energy resource in nature is solar energy which becomes directly converted to electric power in worldwide. Most of the photovoltaic power plants are commonly installed on sunny side of the ground. Thus the installation of photovoltaic power plant could produce an unexpected adverse effect by sacrificing the productivity from green field or forest. To avoid these adverse effect floating photovoltaic plant has been devised and installed on inland reservoir. The photovoltaic plant could utilize ignored water surface without sacrificing the productivity of the ground. Additionally the photovoltaic efficiency has been reenforced by the cooling effect induced by the circulating air flow from water surface. The floating photovoltaic plant could be furnished solar tracking ability by tilting the system operated with the aid of the ballast system. This report is provided to introduce the design of the floating structure with solar panel which furnished solar tracking ability with the aid of ballast system.

To survive in outdoor environments, photovoltaic modules rely on packaging materials to provide requisite durability. We analyzed the properties of encapsulant materials that are important for photovoltaic module packaging. The properties of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate(EVA) sheet in photovoltaic encapsulant materials have to meet conditions that are high optical transmittance, good adhesion and high cross-linking rate. The objective of this paper is to understand the property evaluation methods of EVA sheet. Through this research, we could confirm that properties of EVA sheet have an effect on durability and operating efficiency of photovoltaic module.

Floating photovoltaic systems have been developed by the construction process such as design, construction, operation and management. Therefore, the power of floating photovoltaic systems has been calculated by using simple formulas and the optimal tracking interval is set by operation experience. But, flow characteristics have a decisive effect on it unlike land based PV systems. In this paper, a tracking floating photovoltaic system is modeled by using Matlab/simulink. The modeling for the floating photovoltaic system is verified through applying the flow characteristics based on actual operating data of 100㎾ class tracking floating photovoltaic.

To combine to the power transmission, photovoltaic inverter is demanded, because the photovoltaic system is generated direct current power. However, photovoltaic inverter is sensitive to high temperature. In the temperature rising such as at noon and on summer, efficiency of machine is decreased due to the loss increment. Because this problem causes national energy loss according to the expanding the photovoltaic industry, countermeasure is demanded. There, in this paper, we installed a cooling system using a thermoelement regardless of the temperature. Also, we analyze the cooling effect according to the position of two fans which improve the effect maximize.
