Reliability Analysis Framework for a Grid-Tied PV-Battery System: Influence of PV and Battery Degradation on Reliability of Power Electronic Systems Universiteit Hasselt
This paper presents a flexible framework to evaluate the reliability of power electronic systems used within a grid-connected PV-battery system. As a practical example to show the capability of this framework, the life consumption (LC) of power semiconductors (IGBTs and diodes) is determined considering both solar panel and lithium-ion battery degradation. Different panel degradation rates can be defined to the framework. The battery degradation ...
