Abstract: Photovoltaic integrated greenhouse has become an important form of deep coupling between new energy power generation and facility agriculture. Greenhouse photovoltaic power generation will affect the light environment, thermal environment, and water environment of facility agriculture. The precise coupling modeling method of greenhouse photovoltaics and loads is to carry out the basis for the calculation of comprehensive economic benefits of greenhouse photovoltaics. This paper studies the deep coupling modeling method of greenhouse photovoltaic and greenhouse load, and accurately calculates the changes in the light environment, thermal environment, and water environment regulation load of facility agriculture caused by the laying of greenhouse photovoltaics. Firstly, the greenhouse photovoltaic power generation model and the environmental regulation load model of facility agriculture are established; secondly, the coupling relationship between greenhouse photovoltaic power generation and facility agricultural load is described, and on this basis, the comprehensive economic benefits evaluation model of photovoltaic power generation is proposed. The 10kV medium-voltage distribution network and facility agricultural greenhouse that exist in the northern region are used as the research objects. It verifies the validity of the photovoltaic comprehensive economic benefits evaluation model proposed in this paper.

Abstract:
The widespread use of building integrated photovoltaics appears likely as a result of the continuing decline in photovoltaic manufacturing costs, the relative ease in which photovoltaics can be incorporated within the building envelope, and the fact that buildings account for over 40% of the U.S. energy consumption. However, designers, architects, installers, and consumers need more information and analysis tools in order to judge the merits of building-integrated solar photovoltaic products. In an effort to add to the knowledge base, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has undertaken a multiple-year project to collect high quality experimental performance data. The data will be used to validate computer models for building integrated photovoltaics and, where necessary, to develop algorithms that may be incorporated within these models. This paper describes the facilities that have been constructed to assist in this effort. The facilities include a mobile tracking photovoltaic test facility, a building integrated photovoltaic test bed, an outdoor aging rack, and a meteorological station.

Abstract. Photovoltaics, a clean energy source, have received widespread attention worldwide recently. Many countries are carrying out photovoltaic construction, while also compiling and analyzing their photovoltaic development status. The same goes for China. In northwestern China, a considerable number of cities lack electricity. Meanwhile, its vast plains and abundant sunlight are conducive to the construction of photovoltaics. Therefore, the northwestern China has vigorously carried out photovoltaic construction nowadays. With the support of high-resolution and multi-temporal remote sensing images, we are able to analyze the development status of photovoltaics in these regions. We chose six provinces in northwestern China as our research areas and took three steps to complete our studies. Firstly, we extracted patterns of photovoltaics using deep learning methods. Secondly, based on the patterns and national land use survey data, we calculated the distribution and development status of photovoltaics in each province. Thirdly, we present the statistical results in figures and charts, showing the photovoltaic construction status and its development trend. We finally made conclusions and discussions about our insufficiency in work and future plans for further study.

Abstract:
Abstract The development of distributed power in Hunan Province is mainly photovoltaic, with an average annual growth rate of 16.4% in the past five years. By the end of October 2022, Hunan’s distributed photovoltaic installed capacity is 3.06 million kilowatts, accounting for 54.6% of the total photovoltaic installed capacity, which exceeds the centralized photovoltaic installed capacity. Due to the rapid large-scale development of distributed photovoltaics, it is common that the actual operation scale exceeds the contemporaneous planning. In addition, Hunan distributed photovoltaic access is concentrated in northern and southern Hunan, while in southern Hunan, due to a large number of local clean energy, a large number of distributed photovoltaic access will increase the output of terminal power supply, which can seriously cause the grid power flow to reverse. This paper takes the power grid topology in southern Hunan as an example of carrying out the bearing capacity assessment of regional distributed photovoltaic access to the power grid. This method guides the rational layout of distributed photovoltaics and stably ensures the operation of the Hunan power grid.

Abstract:
As an essential part of renewable energy, the solar photovoltaic technic grows rapidly with two main types: off-grid and grid-connected systems. This paper focuses on grid-connected solar photovoltaic power plants and introduces the main physical principles of solar photovoltaics. Typical components of solar photovoltaic power plants are also presented, along with their functions. The extraordinary environmental impact and the relatively low and decreasing cost of grid-connected solar photovoltaics reflect its excellent development potential. Compared with other energy, grid-connected solar photovoltaics provides an alternative to conventional fossil fuel generation. With the improvement of silicon purification technology and the working efficiency of solar batteries, the scale of grid-connected solar photovoltaics power plants will be further expanded.

Abstract:
Among the wide range of third-generation photovoltaic power generation technologies, there is a widely used type of photovoltaic - heterojunction photovoltaic cells. Although each of the different types of heterojunction photovoltaics has been studied in depth, no one has considered the direct application of the different types of heterojunction photovoltaics at the application level. This paper introduces the composition and advantages of heterojunction photovoltaic cells, and briefly introduces graphene/n-type amorphous silicon heterojunction photovoltaic, organic compound/inorganic heterojunction photovoltaic, and inorganic/inorganic heterojunction photovoltaic represented by CuO and Zn2O, and summarizes the different photovoltaic conversion efficiencies, preparation methods, and other key information of these cells, and compares these information. In particular, whether the photovoltaic conversion efficiency can reach the shockley-queisser limit is examined. Among them, the photoconversion efficiency of graphene/n-type amorphous silicon heterojunction and simple metal oxide heterojunction was not very satisfactory, and finally the heterojunction PV cell constructed by the byorganic cavity-conducting material led by Graezel et al. was chosen among the different research directions of organic/inorganic heterojunction PV cells. Cavity-conducting material combined with a titanium dioxide nanofilm with adsorbed dye as a relatively ideal heterojunction PV cell for comparison was examined in this paper, which provides a proposal for the commercial development of new heterojunction PV cells in the future.

Abstract:
As more renewable energy sources are connected to the electrical grid, it has become important that these sources participate in providing system support. It has become needful for grid-connected solar photovoltaics to participate in support functions like frequency support. However, photovoltaic systems need to implement a maximum power tracking algorithm to operate at maximum power and a method for de-loading photovoltaic systems is necessary for participation in frequency support. Some conventional maximum power tracking techniques are implemented in real time and will not adjust their output fast enough to provide system support while other may respond fast but are not very efficient in tracking the maximum power point of a photovoltaic system. This paper presents an offline method to estimate the maximum power voltage and current based on the characteristics of the photovoltaics module available in the datasheet and using the estimated values to operate the photovoltaics at maximum power. The performance of this technique is compared to the conventional technique. This paper also describes how the photovoltaic system can be de-loaded.

Abstract:
Renewable energy technologies like photovoltaics may be considered an indispensable component of a low-carbon electricity mix, but social acceptance should not be taken for granted. For instance, in Greece there are still claims, especially in rural areas, regarding the land use and the competition against more traditional economic activities such as grazing. An argument in favor of confining to roof-mounted photovoltaic installations is the additional infrastructure requirements for ground-mounted larger-scale photovoltaics. These requirements reduce and could potentially negate their environmental benefits. The aim of this study is to investigate the life cycle environmental impacts of commercial ground-mounted photovoltaic farms and compare them against residential roof-mounted photovoltaic installations. Data were gathered for a 500 kW ground-mounted photovoltaic installation and for five roof-mounted installations of 10 kW capacity, each from the same area at the prefecture of Pella in Northern Greece. An LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) was performed and results show that panel production is the main contributor for both types and that ground-mounted photovoltaics—when no transmission/distribution infrastructure is considered—have lower impacts than the roof-mounted residential photovoltaic installations for all impact categories except terrestrial ecotoxicity. However, when located further than 10.22 km from grid connection, ground-mounted photovoltaics have higher impacts for almost all environmental impact categories.

Abstract:
Spectrum-splitting is a multijunction photovoltaic technology that can effectively improve the conversion efficiency and reduce the cost of photovoltaic systems. Microscale PV design integrates a group of microconcentrating photovoltaic (CPV) systems into an array. It retains the benefits of CPV and obtains other benefits such as a compact form, improved heat rejection capacity, and more versatile PV cell interconnect configurations. We describe the design and performance of a two-junction holographic spectrum-splitting micro-CPV system that uses GaAs wide bandgap and silicon narrow bandgap PV cells. The performance of the system is simulated with a nonsequential raytracing model and compared to the performance of the highest efficiency PV cell used in the micro-CPVarray. The results show that the proposed system reaches the conversion efficiency of 31.98% with a quantum concentration ratio of 14.41x on the GaAs cell and 0.75x on the silicon cell when illuminated with the direct AM1.5 spectrum. This system obtains an improvement over the best bandgap PV cell of 20.05%, and has an acceptance angle of +/- 6 deg allowing for tolerant tracking.

Abstract:
Two basic types of photovoltaic (PV) array simulator have been designed and tested. The first involves the use of a pilot panel and variable light source. It is implemented with analogue circuits. A stability analysis based on Popov's method is presented for this simulator with resistance-inductance (R-L) loads. In the second, characteristic array curves are stored in the memory of a microprocessor-based simulator. The design of both simulators is based on the transfer function method. By using the computing facility available, a stability study for the Type I simulator and some dynamic simulations are carried out. Both simulators are capable of driving a special load, namely, an experimental solar pumping system. The experimental results for both types of' simulator are satisfactory in terms of steady state precision and dynamic behaviour when used with this load. Compared with previously-reported PV array simulator designs [6,7,8,9,18], the two simulators described here have the following distinctive features: 1. A new method of sample curve generation for the Type II simulator results in relatively short sampling period and small memory size. 2. The sample curves of the type II simulator are based directly on the real PV array to be simulated. They are more accurate than the sample curves in references [6,7,9]. 3. Different loads (R, R-L and an experimental solar pumping system) have been considered in the design and have been tested in laboratory. 4. A stability analysis and some dynamic simulations are presented for the type I simulator. An analysis of this type has not been reported in previous studies [6,7,8,9,18].

Abstract:
2013 - 2014
A photovoltaic field is typically composed by series-connected panels, thus composing strings, which are then connected in parallel. By this way, the current and the voltage values of the photovoltaic generator are adapted to operating range of the power electronics systems that transform the generated energy, conveying it to the load and to the electrical grid. The performance of the photovoltaic systems are reduced when a partial shading of the field occurs. In this case, the modules could work under very different conditions from each other, so that the system components may not be able to maximize the generated energy and/or the operating constraints of power electronics systems are not respected. The reconfiguration of the electrical connections among the panels leads to maximize the performance of the photovoltaic systems but it requires additional hardware and it causes further energy consumptions that have to be minimized by executing the reconfiguration procedure only when the shading phenomena occur. The choice of the electrical configuration of the panels is determined by an appropriate algorithm and then it is actuated by a matrix of relays... [edited by author]

Abstract:
Organic Photovoltaic devices (OPV) are considered to be attractive candidates for clean and renewable energy source because of their potential for low cost of fabrication, easy processing, and their mechanical flexibility. The device efficiency of OPV cells are limited by several factors. Among them are: (i) donor-acceptor interface, (ii) morphology of the materials, (iii) electrode-organic semiconductor (OSC) interface and (iv) device architecture such as active material thickness and electrode separation. Although, the donor-acceptor interface has been studied in detail, the commonly prevalent vertical OPV device structure does not allow a good understanding of the other key issues as the vertical structure limits one of the electrode to be a transparent electrode as well as introducing inseparable relation between the electrodes separation and the active material thickness. In addition, it is also well known that the charge transport in OSC is anisotropic and the charge mobility is better in lateral direction rather than vertical direction. In order to address some of these issues, we fabricated OPV devices in a planar device structure where cathode and anode of dissimilar metals are in-plane with each other and their photovoltaic behaviors were studied. We used poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-pheny1 C61-butyric acid methy1 ester (P3HT:PCBM) blend as an active material. In particular, we present a detailed study about the effects of the structural parameters such as the channel length, the active layer thickness, and the work function of the electrodes on the open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), fill factor (FF) and the power conversion efficiency (PCE). In order to determine the suitable anode and cathode for the planar organic photovoltaic (P-OPV) structure, we first fabricated and measured organic field effect transistor (OFET) devices with different contacts and studied the effect of barrier height at the P3HT:PCBM/electrode interface on the device output and transport properties. The study showed a clear effect of varying the contact material on the charge injection mechanism and on the carriers mobilities. The results have also shown that Au with high hole mobility and on current in the p-channel can be used as an anode (holes extractor) in the P-OPV device while In, Cr, and Ti that showed a reasonable value of electron mobility can be good candidates for cathode (electron extractor). We also found that, Ag, Al, and Mg showed large barrier which resulted in large threshold voltage in the I-V curve making them undesired cathode materials in the P-OPV device. We then fabricated P-OPV devices with Au as an anode material and varied the cathode material to study the effect of the interface between the P3HT:PCBM layer and the cathode material. When Al, Mg, or Ag used as a cathode material no PV behavior was observed, while PV behavior was observed for In, Cr, and Ti cathode materials. The PV behavior and the characteristic parameters including Voc, Isc, FF and PCE were affected by varying the cathode material. The results have shown that the P-OPV device performance can be affected by the cathode material depending on the properties and the work function of the metal. We have also studied the effect of varying the P3HT:PCBM layer thickness at a fixed channel length for Cr and Ti cathode materials and Au as anode. While Voc and FF values do not change, Isc and PCE increase with increasing the layer thickness due to the increase of the light absorption and charges generation. Moreover, we studied the effect of varying the channel length at a fixed film thickness; and showed that the values of Isc and PCE increase with decreasing channel length while Voc and FF maintain the same value. In this thesis we will also present the results on experimentally defining and testing the illuminated area in the P-OPV device by using different measurement set-ups and different electrodes patterns. The results prove that the illuminated area in the P-OPV device is the area enclosed between the two electrodes. Lastly, we will present the effect of the P3HT:PCBM ratio on the P-OPV device performance. We show that 1:2 ratio is the optimized ratio for the P-OPV device. The detailed results in this thesis show a potential opportunity to help improving and understanding the design of OPV device by understanding the effects of the device structural parameters.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This project investigated the feasibility of incorporating photovoltaic cells into plastic roof tiles using injection moulding. Such tiles have the potential to provide robust and distributed electricity contained within the building envelope. Current-voltage curves of amorphous silicon modules were measured under illumination using the PVPM 2540C power measuring instrument, both before and after moulding. The efficiency after moulding was reduced by 53% to 88%, with modules that were heated for longer being degraded more. Thus the duration of exposure to high temperatures affected the extent of performance reduction during moulding. This suggested that faster moulding at a lower temperature or faster cooling could solve the problem. Economic feasibility was examined by calculating the levellised cost of electricity provided by the tiles. A large-scale development in the Western Cape was simulated using a typical meteorological year of weather data and using the anisotropic diffuse irradiance model of Perez et al. (1988). Avoided costs due to replaced roofing, avoided costs due to electricity distribution infrastructure, and Clean Development Mechanism credits were accounted for. The cost of energy calculated was R11/kWh in 2010 rands, which did not compete with the price of conventional grid-based electricity at R1.8/kWh. The importance of the cost of balance-of-system components, such as the inverter, and not only of the photovoltaic modules, was highlighted for future cost reductions. Several clear guidelines for manufacturing photovoltaic roof tiles were discovered. The most important of these was that many bypass diodes make the system more robust.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie projek het die haalbaarheid van die integrasie van fotovoltaïse selle in plastiek dakteëls deur spuitvorming ondersoek. Sulke dakteëls het die vermoë om robuuste en verspreide elektrisiteit te lewer, sonder om die gebou se vorm te verander. Stroom-spanning kurwes van struktuurlose silikon eenhede is onder verligting gemeet met die PVPM 2540C kragmeet instrument, voor en na spuitvorming. Die doeltreffendheid na spuitvorming is met 53% tot 88% verminder, met groter vermindering in die eenhede wat langer warm was. Dus het die duur van blootstelling aan hoë temperature die mate van vermindering van doeltreffendheid beïnvloed. Dit het suggereer dat óf vinniger spuitvorming by laer temperature óf vinniger verkoeling die probleem kan oplos. Ekonomiese haalbaarheid is ondersoek deur die koste van die elektrisiteit wat deur die dakteëls gelewer is te bereken. ’n Groot behuisingsontwikkeling in die Wes-Kaap is gesimuleer deur ’n tipiese weerkundige jaar van weerdata en die anisotroop model vir verspreide ligstraling van Perez et al. (1988) te gebruik. Vermyde kostes van vervangde dakteëls, vermyde kostes van elektrisiteit distribusie infrastruktuur en krediete van die Meganisme vir Skoonontwikkeling is in ag geneem. Die elektrisiteitskoste was R11/kWh in 2010 se randwaarde, wat nie mededingend met die R1.8/kWh koste van gewone netwerk elektrisiteit was nie. Die belang van die kostes van die res van die installasieonderdele, soos die wisselrigter, en nie net die fotovoltaïse eenhede nie, is beklemtoon vir kostevermindering in die toekoms. Verskeie duidelike riglyne vir die vervaardiging van fotovoltaïse dakteëls is voorgestel. Die belangrikste van hierdie was dat meer omloopdiodes die installasie meer robuust maak.

Abstract:
It is experimentally confirmed that the response speed of photo-induced deformation lags far behind the photovoltage and it is difficult to control the magnitude of the photo-induced electric field in PLZT ceramic due to the serious residual photovoltage. The primary purpose of this article is to control the photovoltage of PLZT for a photovoltaic-electrostatic driven servo system proposed in this paper. The control equations of photovoltage for photovoltaic-electrostatic driven servo system are derived based on the mathematical model of PLZT with coupled multi-physics fields. Parameters of photovoltage of PLZT ceramic during the illumination phase and light off phase are identified through the static experiment. Based on simple on-off control strategy, real-time switching the UV light via an optical shutter is adopted to achieve the desired photovoltage. Then, the closed-loop photovoltage control experiments for photovoltaic-electrostatic driven servo system based on PLZT ceramic are carried out. The experimental results show that the photovoltage can be successfully controlled at the target degree by switching the UV light with an optical shutter. The control strategy can be applied in the photovoltaic-electrostatic driven servo system to achieve the target degree of angular or displacement deflection.

Abstract:
Building integrated photovoltaics, the integration of photovoltaic cells into one or more exterior building surfaces, represents a small but growing part of today’s $2 billion dollar photovoltaic industry. A barrier to the widespread use of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is the lack of validated predictive simulation tools needed to make informed economic decisions. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has undertaken a multi-year project to compare the measured performance of BIPV panels to the predictions of photovoltaic simulation tools. The existing simulation models require input parameters that characterize the electrical performance of BIPV panels subjected to various meteorological conditions. This paper describes the experimental apparatus and test procedures used to capture the required parameters. Results are presented for custom fabricated mono-crystalline, polycrystalline, and silicon film BIPV panels and a commercially available triple junction amorphous silicon panel.

Abstract:
Abstract The photovoltaic industry is experiencing rapid growth. Industry analysts project that photovoltaic sales will increase from their current $1.5 billion level to over $27 billion by 2020, representing an average growth rate of 25% [1]. To date, the vast majority of sales have been for navigational signals, call boxes, telecommunication centers, consumer products, off-grid electrification projects, and small grid-interactive residential rooftop applications. Building integrated photovoltaics, the integration of photovoltaic cells into one of more of the exterior surfaces of the building envelope, represents a small but growing photovoltaic application. In order for building owners, designers, and architects to make informed economic decisions regarding the use of building integrated photovoltaics, accurate predictive tools and performance data are needed. A building integrated photovoltaic test bed has been constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology to provide the performance data needed for model validation. The facility incorporates four identical pairs of building integrated photovoltaic panels constructed using single-crystalline, polycrystalline, silicon film, and amorphous silicon photovoltaic cells. One panel of each identical pair is installed with thermal insulation attached to its rear surface. The second paired panel is installed without thermal insulation. This experimental configuration yields results that quantify the effect of elevated cell temperature on the panels’ performance for different cell technologies. This paper presents the first set of experimental results from this facility. Comparisons are made between the electrical performance of the insulated and non-insulated panels for each of the four cell technologies. The monthly and overall conversion efficiencies for each cell technology are presented and the seasonal performance variations discussed. Daily efficiencies are presented for a selected month. Finally, hourly plots of the power output and panel temperatures are presented and discussed for the single-crystalline and amorphous silicon panels.

Abstract:
Solar energy will be an important source of energy for a sustainable energy system whether or not it is directly collected (solar thermal, photovoltaics) or indirectly collected (wind, wave, etc). This project focused on increasing the efficiency of the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity, which is also known as photovoltaics (PV). It has long been known that photovoltaic cells perform less efficiently at higher temperatures. In fact, solar modules under concentration are frequently cooled either actively or passively. The current study, however, focused on cooling modules under no concentration. The goal of the current project was to answer the question: Can the energy gained by cooling a photovoltaic module with groundwater be greater than the energy used by the cooling system and is there an economic benefit? A digital simulation of a simple photovoltaic module under groundwater cooling was performed in order to answer the research question. The simulation was performed for Phoenix, AZ and assuming certain control parameters it was found that the overall system produced over 9% more electricity than a system without groundwater cooling. While the groundwater cooled system increased overall electrical production, the economics of the system will also be presented. Recently, an Arizona utility APS introduced time of use pricing for electricity. Because groundwater cooling provides the most benefit during very hot days with high electrical demand, cooling is more economically attractive. A simple economic analysis will be presented including estimated costs of the cooling system and added value of the excess electrical energy produced under different APS rate plans.

Abstract:
Abstract A barrier to the widespread application of building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is the lack of validated predictive performance tools. Architects and building owners need these tools in order to determine if the potential energy savings realized from building integrated photovoltaics justifies the additional capital expenditure. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) seeks to provide high quality experimental data that can be used to develop and validate these predictive performance tools. The temperature of a photovoltaic module affects its electrical output characteristics and efficiency. Traditionally, the temperature of solar cells has been characterized using the nominal operating cell temperature (NOCT), which can be used in conjunction with a calculation procedure to predict the module’s temperature for various environmental conditions. The NOCT procedure provides a representative prediction of the cell temperature, specifically for the ubiquitous rack-mounted installation. The procedure estimates the cell temperature based on the ambient temperature and the solar irradiance. It makes the approximation that the overall heat loss coefficient is constant. In other words, the temperature difference between the panel and the environment is linearly related to the heat flux on the panels (solar irradiance). The heat transfer characteristics of a rack-mounted PV module and a BIPV module can be quite different. The manner in which the module is installed within the building envelope influences the cell’s operating temperature. Unlike rack-mounted modules, the two sides of the modules may be subjected to significantly different environmental conditions. This paper presents a new technique to compute the operating temperature of cells within building integrated photovoltaic modules using a one-dimensional transient heat transfer model. The resulting predictions are compared to measured BIPV cell temperatures for two single crystalline BIPV panels (one insulated panel and one uninsulated panel). Finally, the results are compared to predictions using the NOCT technique.

Abstract:
Opto-mechanical actuators do not require hard-wired connections to control light source. Accordingly, the control commands will not be influenced by undesirable electric noises. Without accessorial devices and connecting wires, photonic control which conforms to the lightweight trend of space structure has great research value. PLZT photostrictive actuator can only induce actuation strain along its polarized direction, so it has the deficiency of one-way actuation. In this paper, the novel hybrid photovoltaic/piezoelectric actuation mechanism is proposed to remedy this deficiency. The ultraviolet light-driven PLZT induced voltages are used to drive piezoelectric actuator. Based on the equivalent electrical model, constitutive model is established to define the time history of actuation strain of piezoelectric actuator driven by photovoltage. Experimental platform is established to verify this established constitutive model. A logical switch is designed to realize positive and negative connection switch between PLZT photovoltaic generator and piezoelectric actuator. It is experimentally validated that the piezoelectric actuator can induce both positive and negative control forces.

Abstract:
When ultraviolet light illuminates on polarized PLZT ceramic, a large voltage can be generated between the electrodes due to the anomalous photovoltaic effect. The shape control of flexible shell can be realized by using hybrid photovoltaic/piezoelectric actuation. In this paper, a novel non-contact deflection closed-loop control model of cantilever beam based on hybrid photovoltaic/piezoelectric actuation can be proposed. The photovoltage of PLZT ceramic irradiated by ultraviolet light is applied to drive PVDF actuator. The closed-loop control equations of deflection of cantilever beam is derived based on the mathematical model of PLZT ceramic with coupled multi-physics fields and the constitutive model of cantilever beam. Then, parameters of deflection control equations of cantilever beam during illumination phase and light off phase are identified through the deflection static experiment. After that, the deflection closed-loop control experiment of cantilever beam based on hybrid photovoltaic/piezoelectric actuation mechanism is carried out to verify the control model. The experimental results show that the deflection of cantilever beam with a simple on-off control method can achieve the target value by applying UV light to PLZT ceramic. It also should be noted that, the deflection curve of cantilever beam illuminated by strong UV light has an undesirable fluctuation.

Abstract:
A study of the state of solar energy development in Taiwan has been performed. In this work, general energy use, solar research issues, and solar manufacturing status and applications were surveyed in late 2011. It was found that there are active research efforts underway in a variety of solar technologies, primarily in photovoltaics, and to a limited extent in solar domestic water heating. Significant manufacturing capabilities in photovoltaic cells have developed within the last decade, and this has grown rapidly, such that Taiwan has edged out Germany for the number two spot in the list of top manufacturers. Very little in the line of photovoltaic installations are found on the island, however. Another characteristic in terms of solar water heating manufacturing and application is that not much is found in Taiwan in contrast to what has taken place on the mainland of China. Some government efforts to stimulate the Taiwanese consumer market both in photovoltaics as well as water heating are outlined, but goals for the PV installations seem overly optimistic based upon recent history.
