Predicting Early EVA Degradation in Photovoltaic Modules From Short Circuit Current Measurements

Autor: Alan P. Morrison, Paul Leahy, Hussain Al Mahdi

Publikováno v: IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics. 11:1188-1196

One of the common failures in photovoltaic modules is the degradation of the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) encapsulant due to prolonged ultraviolet exposure and other environmental stress factors, such as temperature and humidity. Experimental studies

Publikováno v: Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy. 235:494-505

A probabilistic method for modelling empirical site-specific wind turbine power curves is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the Gaussian mixture model machine learning algorithm. Unlike standard wind turbine power curve models, it has a
