    The distribution of onshore wind power generation in Korea is being delayed, and location problems are considered as the primary cause. To solve this problem, an onshore wind power siting atlas has been developed, which shows the environment, forest, and resource location of onshore wind power overall. The local government may determine matters regarding the separation distance, height, and arrangement, for a specific building or structure. With the gradual spread of wind power generation, the interest of local governments has increased. The number of local governments applying the setback regulation for wind power generation has increased from 20 in 2018 to 52 in 2022, which is approximately 1.6 times in 4 years. The setback regulation has emerged as a central issue in the onshore wind power siting problem because the application targets and setback distance standard vary depending on the local government. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of the setback regulation of the local governments on the onshore wind power location. Based on the onshore wind farm siting atlas, a geographic database, containing spatial data representing 60 influencing factors and 6 setback regulation scenarios, was constructed. The onshore wind power location change according to the setback regulation was analyzed by actualizing the separation distance and analyzing scenarios. - COLLAPSE

    This study entailed an economic feasibility analysis for a 100 kW agrophotovoltaic model based on the empirical data of a 20 kW independent pillar type agrophotovoltaic system and crop growth evaluation data. The blueberry growth investigation indicated the absence of any significant difference in transverse diameter, longitudinal diameter, sugar content, and acidity of the experimental and control groups. However, the sugar content of the second harvested blueberries was higher than that of the first harvest. In addition, the number of fruit set in the experimental group was 663.1, and that in the control group was 767.1. This is attributable to the delayed blooming time of blueberry flowers owing to the decrease in solar radiation caused by the shading of the agrophotovoltaic modules. The average income per 20a of blueberries, a high value-added crop, was calculated to be 20,517,000 won. The average annual power generation of 100 kW agrophotovoltaic, total generation cost, and net profit were calculated to be 130,481 kWh, 22,313,000 won, and 9,872,000 won, respectively. In addition, the revenue from the high-value-added crops of the agrophotovoltaic system was 20,517,000 won, and the net profit through power generation was calculated as 9,872,000 won, thereby indicating higher profits through crops. - COLLAPSE

    This study entailed computational simulations and empirical measurements on solar radiation changes in farmland owing to shade generated from the lower part of an independent pillar-type agrophotovoltaic system structure with improved performance and economic feasibility. The computational simulation and empirical results show a relatively low average solar radiation incident ratio at positions 3–7. In particular, at position 5, the average solar radiation incident ratio exhibits the lowest value, as indicated by the computer simulation and demonstration results. Consequently, three types of improved models were devised to improve the long-term shading area at positions 3–7. The average solar radiation incident ratio on the direct rear side of the module in Model 1 is lower than that of the existing system, whereas that on the direct rear side of Model 2 is 74.4%, which is the highest value. Furthermore, the corresponding value on the direct rear side of the module in Model 3 is 70.0%, which was higher than that of the existing system. Therefore, Models 2 and 3 demonstrate that the growth environment of crops could be improved using an agrophotovoltaic system. - COLLAPSE

    A building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system is a renewable energy system that generates electricity and functions as a building envelope for zero energy buildings (ZEBs). BIPV can be applied to roofs, façades, and window systems. In particular, a semi-transparent BIPV applied to window systems is designed to satisfy the thermal performance requirements of national standards. The solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) is used to estimate the solar radiation that passes through the glass relative to the amount of solar radiation hitting the glass. The SHGC of a semitransparent BIPV system change with the PV cell ratio, design, and electrical performance of the system. However, studies on the performance evaluation of SHGC for semitransparent BIPV systems are scarce. In this study, a method for evaluating the SHGC of a semitransparent BIPV system was investigated. The results indicate that SHGC values for the semi-transparent BIPV system should be studied for different operating conditions as indicated by maximum power point (MPP) and open circuit (OC) values. This is because the SHGC of the system changes with the power generation of the PV cells. - COLLAPSE

    This study entailed investigations on the current status of monitoring systems or platforms that provide important operating data usable as reference data in the design stage of photovoltaic (PV) power generation facilities. Thus, insights into the operating characteristics of such facilities were gained. This survey of the literature identified the features, namely, ‘renewable energy cloud platform,’ ‘renewable energy integrated monitoring system (REMS),’ and ‘public data portal’; a quantitative analysis was performed using the obtained dataset. The quantitative analysis confirmed that inaccuracies and data errors occasionally occur in individual monitoring systems. Nevertheless, by using a large amount of high-accuracy long- term data, a clear standard for daily operating hours, which can be the most important data in the design of PV power generation facilities, was devised. - COLLAPSE
