Impacts of PV array sizing on PV inverter lifetime and reliability

Abstract: In order to enable a more wide-scale utilization of PV systems, the cost of PV energy has to be comparable with other energy sources. Oversizing the PV array is one common approach to reduce the cost of PV energy, since it increases the PV energy yield during low solar irradiance conditions. However, oversizing the PV array will increase the loading of PV inverters, which may have undesired influence on the PV inverter lifetime and reliability. In that case, it may result in a negative impact on the overall PV… Show more

“…The lifetime of VSI depends on the operating environment and load. P pv at input terminals reduces the life of VSI; however, the ESS, acting as a buffer, absorbs sudden changes in the power to increase the life of VSI [15,16]. Figure 10 shows the VSI loading with and without MESS.…”

“…The inverter rated by their continuous wattage output.In terms of cost, thelarger they are, the more they cost. The inverter size is chosen so that its cost and inverter -related losses are minimized, i.e.it nominal power should be as small as possible, to provide high conversion effi ciency during normal operation [16]. From the Table 2, the total power of the household is 2,495 W, then due to a normal surge of fan and washing machine, the additional power of 1100 W at the start, making 3595 W. Thus the capacity for an inverter to be used must be 3595W.…”
