Critical components test and reliability issues for Photovoltaic Inverter

Marcantonio Catelani, Lorenzo Ciani, Alberto Reatti

Abstract

Reliability requirements are very interesting aspects for plant based on PV panel. In fact these plants are planned to operate for many years. One of the most critical subsystem in the PV plants is represented by the inverter. The analysis of its critical components is a very important task that can be obtained by means a well-designed test plan. This approach allows to improve complex system maintenance policies and, at the same time, to achieve a reduction of unexpected failure occurrences in the system during its functioning in the field.
