Up to a certain point in time, the entire lifetime of a PV inverter was predicted based on the failure rates of individual components and handbooks provided by the manufacturers. In recent years, the prediction of the reliability and lifetime of power converters has been done through physics-of-failure assessments.
With this in mind, this report showcases and describes an approach to help assess and predict the reliability of PV inverters. To predict reliability, thermal cycling is considered as a prominent stressor in the inverter system.
The new generation of PV inverters are becoming more efficient, with efficiencies greater than 97% The efficiency is brought about by changing the topology of the power converter or control scheme or by better circuit board layout techniques.
Averaged model of a single-phase PV inverter The average model is implemented in PLECS. The model uses the same parameters as the homegrown inverter except for the input voltage source, which is replaced with the PV current source. The model is designed for the same switching frequency, DC-link voltage and AC grid voltage.
2.1 Introduction PV inverters consist of multiple components , including power semiconductors, sensors, resistors, magnetics, control circuits, and auxiliary power supplies. All these components introduce some amount of power loss in the converter. Most of the time these losses dissipate as heat and lead to an increase in local temperature.
To predict the reliability, thermal cycling is considered as a prominent stressor in \the inverter system. To evaluate the impacts of thermal cycling, a detailed linearized model of the PV inverter is developed along with controllers.
