Analyzing Trends in Photovoltaic Systems for the Implementation of Zero-Energy Buildings

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify research trends by analyzing research papers on photovoltaic systems for the realization of ZEB in the Korea architecture field. Method: To this end, domestic journals have been classified by year, journal, keyword, and subject for the past five years, and in-depth analysis has been conducted using Voyant Tools. Result: As a result of the research trend analysis, it was confirmed that research on the application of photovoltaic systems in the field of architecture is continuously being conducted. Most of the papers have been published by the Korean Solar Energy Association. Seventeen degree theses were also investigated. As for the thesis keywords, Energy, ZEB, and BIPV were the most frequently appearing. Through this study, the level of development and the possibility of development of photovoltaic system technology for implementing ZEB in the architecture field were identified, and the direction and basic technology of the PV installation optimal decision-making system to be developed in future research were confirmed.
