In recent years, photovoltaic (PV) power generation has attracted considerable attention as a new eco-friendly and renewable energy generation technology. With the recent development of semiconductor manufacturing technologies, PV power generation is gradually increasing. In this paper, we analyze the types of defects that form in PV power generation panels and propose a method for enhancing the productivity and efficiency of PV power stations by determining the defects of aging PV modules based on their temperature, power output, and panel images. The method proposed in the paper allows the replacement of individual panels that are experiencing a malfunction, thereby reducing the output loss of solar power generation plants. The aim is to develop a method that enables users to immediately check the type of failures among the six failure types that frequently occur in aging PV panels—namely, hotspot, panel breakage, connector breakage, busbar breakage, panel cell overheating, and diode failure—based on thermal images by using the failure detection system. By comparing the data acquired in the study with the thermal images of a PV power station, efficiency is increased by detecting solar module faults in deteriorated photovoltaic power plants.

Hybrid energy storage systems (HESS) are an effective way to improve the output stability for a large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power generation systems. This paper presents a sizing method for HESS-equipped large-scale centralized PV power stations. The method consists of two parts: determining the power capacity by a statistical method considering the effects of multiple weather conditions and calculating the optimal energy capacity by employing a mathematical model. The method fully considers the characteristics of PV output and multiple kinds of energy storage combinations. Additionally, a pre-storage strategy that can further improve stability of output is proposed. All of the above methods were verified through a case study application to an 850 MW centralized PV power station in the upstream of the Yellow river. The optimal hybrid energy storage combination and its optimization results were obtained by this method. The results show that the optimal capacity configuration can significantly improve the stability of PV output and the pre-storage strategy can further improve the target output satisfaction rate by 8.28%.

Abstract Adopted in 2009, the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources sets out the rules for how Poland is to achieve the 15% target of total primary energy from renewables by 2020. However, there are fears that the goals set out in this Directive may not be met. The share of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in national energy consumption (150 TWh) is estimated at 8.6 TWh in 2009 and 12 TWh in 2011 (5.7 and 8% respectively). The level of RES in Poland until 2005 was approx. 7.2%. The analysis of RES technologies currently in use in Poland shows that in terms of the share in the total capacity, the 750 hydro-electric power plants which are currently in operation (with the overall capacity of almost 0.95 GW) are second only to wind power stations (2 GW). The authors have studied the Nysa Klodzka River in terms of possible locations for hydro-electric facilities. Eight locations have been identified where power plants might be constructed with installed capacities ranging from 319 to 1717 kW. The expected total annual electric power generation of these locations would stand at approx. 37.5 GWh.
