In Korea, the concept of zero-energy buildings is one of the means to reduce carbon emissions in the construction sector. Photovoltaic (PV) power systems are the most commonly installed renewable energy systems in residential buildings. However, the installed PV capacity in apartment houses is limited because of difficulty in securing PV installation area and inability to process the surplus PV power. Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are emerging as a means for the storage and reuse of surplus PV power. In this study, the energy-saving effect of a residential BESS connected to a rooftop PV system was analyzed for eight households in a multi-family house. The data of the main load power (grid supply) and PV+BESS power from households collected from August to October 2021 were analyzed. During the operation of the BESS, the surplus PV power was stored in the battery, and the PV+BESS power was continuously supplied to the load by discharging the battery regardless of the PV power time. Based on the average representative data for 6 days, the power saving rate was approximately 26.0% for the rooftop PV system and approximately 41.8% for the BESS.","PeriodicalId":276437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Solar Energy Society","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129846023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the number of ESS explosion accidents has been rapidly increasing over the past two to three years, a failure diagnosis study on ESS fire safety should be preceded for its continuous use. When the ESS is operated at high temperature for a long time, aging is caused owing to deterioration, and hence, stable operation is required. Among the recent 28 fires, 15 of them occurred during charging and resting. Because rapid temperature and humidity changes occur during charging and discharging, it is important to predict the trend of change. This study predicts ESS operation patterns through an artificial intelligence-based prediction algorithm, and also diagnoses ESS failures through a supervised learning-based confusion matrix. When a failure pattern is found in the ESS, a method to reduce damage through air conditioner control is studied.","PeriodicalId":276437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Solar Energy Society","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123654677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, bifacial photovoltaic modules for solar power generation have been researched for their optimal application, as they can generate electricity from two sides using only a single frame. In addition, because the price of a bifacial photovoltaic module is approximately 20% higher than that of a single-sided module, installing bifacial photovoltaic modules in suitable locations on buildings can be economical. To date, most studies have primarily focused on how to increase the amount of power generation from rear cells by arranging materials with high reflectivity on the floors of buildings. In point of fact, when bifacial photovoltaic modules are arranged in an east-west orientation, the maximum amount of power can be obtained in the mornings and afternoons. However, when these modules are installed in buildings in this orientation, a shadow is produced on the building surface according to the trajectory of the sun. In addition, when photovoltaic modules are used in the building envelope, the amount of power generation is often reduced because of this shadow. Nevertheless, even when considering this reduction in power generation, if the total power generation is higher than when photovoltaic modules are installed only vertically, the self-sufficiency rates of buildings can be improved. In this study, the shadow of a bifacial photovoltaic module was simulated using vertical photovoltaic modules to consider the possibilities of architectural application of bifacial photovoltaic modules.","PeriodicalId":276437,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Solar Energy Society","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124215381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, the pollutants decreased by compared to 56% ~ 78% in previous studies. The flush-out had a reduction effect on the pollutants even at low temperatures. When compared with field measurement results, the effect of the pollutants reduced by flush-out temperature was different; however, it was confirmed that the flush-out has some effect of reducing pollutants even at low temperatures. By comparing the current results with those of field and chamber experiments conducted in previous studies with a t-test, the p-value was 0.05 or higher, indicating that the number of temperature-induced ventilations in the entire dataset was not a significant factor in the pollutant reduction effect.
