研究目的
To develop and apply accelerated stress tests (ASTs) that replicate field failure modes in photovoltaic (PV) modules in a shorter time frame, enabling the improvement of module designs, materials, and processes for enhanced reliability and longevity.
研究成果
Accelerated stress tests are crucial for identifying and mitigating field failure modes in PV modules, enabling the development of more reliable and longer-lasting modules. However, careful consideration must be given to the design of these tests to ensure they accurately replicate field conditions and failure mechanisms without introducing artifacts.
研究不足
The chapter notes the difficulty in accelerating some processes without changing the failure mechanisms, the specificity of acceleration factors to certain climates and module technologies, and the challenges in achieving high acceleration rates for UV exposure without distorting the degradation mechanisms.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The chapter outlines the rationale behind selecting specific ASTs to replicate field failure modes, including the theoretical basis for each test and detailed procedures.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Focuses on PV modules and their components, with criteria for selecting modules for testing based on observed field failures.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Mentions the use of environmental chambers for thermal cycling, damp heat, and humidity freeze tests; UV light sources for UV exposure tests; mechanical load testers for static and dynamic load tests; and ice balls for hail tests.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Describes step-by-step processes for each AST, including setting stress levels (temperature, humidity, load, etc.), duration of exposure, and monitoring for failure modes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Discusses the interpretation of test results to identify failure modes and assess the effectiveness of module improvements.
