Concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) modules - Thermal cycling test to differentiate increased thermal fatigue durability

IEC 62108:2016 defines a test sequence that will quickly uncover CPV module failures that have been associated with field exposure to thermal cycling for many years. This document was specifically developed to relate to thermal fatigue failure of the HCPV die-attach, however, it also applies, to some extent, to all thermal fatigue related failure mechanisms for the assemblies submitted to test.

Konzentrator-Photovoltaik (CPV)-Module - Temperaturwechselprüfung für CPV-Module zur Bewertung erhöhter Temperaturwechselbeständigkeit

Modules photovoltaïques à concentration (CPV) - Essai de cycles thermiques pour la détermination de la durabilité renforcée à la fatigue thermique

L'IEC 62108:2016 définit une séquence d’essais permettant de détecter rapidement les défaillances du module CPV associées à une exposition aux cycles thermiques sur le terrain pendant de nombreuses années. Le présent document a été conçu dans le but spécifique de traiter des défaillances de fatigue thermique de la fixation de puce photovoltaïque à haute concentration (HCPV : high concentrator photovoltaic). Cependant, il s'applique également, dans une certaine mesure, à tous les mécanismes de défaillance liés à la fatigue thermique des ensembles soumis à l'essai.

Koncentratorski fotonapetostni moduli (CPV) - Ciklični temperaturni preskus razvrstitve glede na povečano odpornost proti temperaturni utrujenosti

Ta dokument določa preskusno zaporedje, ki bo hitro odkrilo okvare koncentratorskih fotonapetostnih modulov zaradi večletne izpostavljenosti cikličnim temperaturam na terenu. Ta dokument je bil razvit posebej za okvare zaradi temperaturne utrujenosti vezij HCPV, vendar se lahko v določeni meri uporablja tudi za vse mehanizme odpovedi v zvezi s temperaturno utrujenostjo pri preskušanih sestavih.
Preskus ugotavljanja primernosti koncentratorskih fotonapetostnih modulov iz standarda IEC 62108 že vključuje pospešeno ciklično temperaturno zaporedje v enem delu preskušanja, vendar pa parametri tega preskusa označujejo samo kvalifikacijsko raven izpostavljenosti. Ta preskusni postopek uporablja večjo obremenitev in omogoča primerjalno preskušanje za razvrščanje koncentratorskih fotonapetostnih modulov glede na povečano odpornost proti cikličnim temperaturam in povezanim mehanskim obremenitvam.
