Abstract

Using heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer (HJT) modules as the research object, the accelerated aging test under various damp-heat (DH) conditions is carried out. Based on the aging test data, the Peck model was used to describe the power degradation process, and then combining the wiener process and the Peck model, calculating the lifetime probability density function to obtain the mean values of the operation time under the double 85 experimental conditions. The reliability function is derived by integrating the probability density function, which describes the failure distribution characteristics of the HJT modules. Finally, the parameters of Peck-Wiener model are used to establish the module lifetime prediction under arbitrary temperature and humidity, which reveals that the predicted lifetime of the module is 33 years in Daqing, where the temperature and humidity are low. And the lifetime is greatly reduced in Hainan, where the relative humidity exceeds 80%. Meanwhile, the prediction results at 50 ℃/45% RH are compared with the actual environmental dataset, which verifies the effectiveness and high accuracy of the Peck-Wiener model developed in this thesis.
