Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic testing technology, and in particular to a reliability testing method, apparatus, computer equipment, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] The photovoltaic (PV) junction box is a key component of a PV module, responsible for transmitting the current generated by the PV cells. PV junction boxes typically contain one or more bypass diodes to prevent hot spot effects that could lead to power generation efficiency loss and module safety risks. Currently, most junction boxes are designed for ground-mounted power stations and rooftop distributed PV systems. Their covers and cable interfaces have poor sealing, resulting in poor long-term waterproofing. In humid climates with high rainfall, as well as in floating and offshore PV scenarios, there is a significant risk of waterproofing failure and water ingress into the junction box.

[0003] Currently, related technologies only test junction boxes in normal working environments to determine their test parameters in harsh working environments. There are no corresponding reliability testing methods for working environments such as (on water) offshore photovoltaic systems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] At a preset temperature, the sample to be tested is placed in a container of a preset depth, and the container is continuously filled with the solution so that the sample to be tested is immersed in the solution for a second preset time.

[0018] After the second preset time period, the solution is continuously drained to allow the soaked sample to dry for a third preset time period.

[0019] The sum of the second preset duration and the third preset duration is the total duration of each soaking cycle.

[0020] In one embodiment, the cyclic impact on the sample to be tested within a first preset time period includes:

[0025] When the appearance of the initial sample meets the first preset condition, the initial sample is placed in a container and a solution is added until the solution covers the initial sample, and a test voltage is applied to the initial sample to perform a wet leakage test.

[0026] The resistance between the sample and the solution is obtained during the wet leakage current test. When the resistance meets a second preset condition, the initial sample is used as the sample to be tested.

[0027] In one embodiment, the step of testing the sample after the aging test to determine whether the sample meets the qualification conditions includes:

For example, without departing from the scope of this application, a first preset duration may be referred to as a second preset duration, and similarly, a second preset duration may be referred to as a first preset duration.

[0053] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising / including” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof. Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0054] Figure 1 Here is a flowchart of a reliability testing method according to one embodiment, with reference to... Figure 1 The reliability testing method of this embodiment is applied to photovoltaic junction boxes, and the reliability testing method includes steps 102 to 106.

[0055] Step 102: Provide a sample of the photovoltaic junction box to be tested, which meets the preset qualification conditions.

[0056] Optionally, the method for preparing the photovoltaic junction box sample includes: attaching the junction box to a small glass plate in the order of positive and negative electrodes, and connecting the junction boxes with a busbar. For example, three junction boxes can be connected together, and silicone is used to cover and seal the surface of the busbar. The preset qualification conditions may include: whether the appearance of the sample is qualified, and whether the resistance of the sample under test in a wet leakage current test is qualified. Optionally, when the box body of the sample under test does not show deformation or discoloration, and the test resistance is greater than 2000MΩ, the sample under test can be judged to be qualified.

[0057] It is understandable that the value of the test resistance in the preset qualification conditions can be adjusted according to the type and concentration of the solution. Optionally, in order to ensure more accurate test resistance, a constant temperature device can be added during the test to reduce the influence of solution temperature changes on the test resistance, thereby improving the accuracy of sample qualification judgment.

[0058] Step 104: The test area of ​​the sample to be tested is brought into contact with the test solution, and a test current is passed through the sample to perform an aging test for a preset duration.

[0059] The area to be tested can be a part of the sample or the entire sample; no specific limitation is made here.

[0060] Optionally, the test solution can be water or a saline solution with a concentration of 10-50 g / L, and the test current is the rated current of the sample under test. The aging test can be performed in 1000-hour increments to simulate the working environment of the photovoltaic junction box sample on water or at sea. It is understood that the concentration of the test solution and the preset duration of the aging test can be tightened as needed. The saline concentration here simulates the salinity range of visible sea areas, and the tightened test simulates a more severe marine testing environment.

[0061] The test current applied to the sample under test can be selected based on the state of the diode connected to the sample under test in the photovoltaic junction box. When the diode is forward conducting, a forward current is applied, and when the diode is reverse cut off, a reverse voltage is applied.

[0062] Step 106: Test the sample after the aging test to determine whether the sample meets the qualification conditions.

[0063] Among them, the detection of the sample after aging test may include: detecting the appearance of the sample and performing a wet leakage test on the sample. When the box body of the sample after aging test does not show deformation or discoloration, and the test resistance of the wet leakage test is greater than 2000 MΩ, it can be determined that the sample to be tested is qualified. The relevant description of the qualification conditions can be referred to the above description and will not be elaborated here. It can be understood that when the sample still meets the qualification conditions after aging test, it can be determined that the sample has long-term reliability in the working environment of immersion in water or under the impact of water waves; if not, it means that the sample is damaged in the working environment of immersion in water or under the impact of water waves.

[0064] The reliability test method provided in this embodiment can evaluate the long-term reliability of the photovoltaic junction box in the working environment of immersion in water or under the impact of water waves by providing a sample to be tested of a photovoltaic junction box that meets the preset qualification conditions, contacting the area to be tested of the sample to be tested with a test solution, and passing a test current through the sample to be tested for an aging test for a preset duration, and then detecting the sample after the aging test to determine whether the sample to be tested meets the qualification conditions.

[0065] Figure 2 It is a specific flowchart of step 104 in an embodiment. Refer to Figure 2 , step 104 includes sub-step 202.

[0066] Step 202: Immerse the sample to be tested in a solution with a preset depth at a preset temperature, and at the same time continuously pass a test current through the sample to be tested for an aging test according to the first preset duration.

[0067] Optionally, immerse the sample to be tested in water with a depth of 0.5 m - 2 m or in a saline solution with a concentration of 10 - 50 g / L, and at the same time pass a test current and continue for 1000 h for an aging test.

[0068] Among them, the preset temperature is room temperature, for example, it can be 10°C - 30°C, the first preset duration is a single duration for aging the sample to be tested, which can be 1000 h, and the test current is the rated current of the sample to be tested, so as to simulate the working environment of the photovoltaic junction box sample in water or at sea.

[0069] In one of the embodiments, at room temperature, immerse the sample to be tested in water with a depth of 1 m, and at the same time pass the rated current and continue for 1000 h for an aging test.

[0070] In one of the embodiments, at room temperature, immerse the sample to be tested in a saline solution with a depth of 1 m and a concentration of 35 g / L, and at the same time pass the rated current and continue for 1000 h for an aging test.

[0071] Figure 3Here is a flowchart of step 104 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 3 Step 104 also includes sub-step 302.

[0072] Step 302: At a preset temperature, the solution is continuously flowed over the surface of the sample, and at the same time, a test current is continuously applied to the sample to be tested for aging test according to a first preset time.

[0073] The test current is the rated current of the sample under test.

[0074] Optionally, water or saline solution with a concentration of 10-50 g / L is continuously flowed over the surface of the sample to be tested, subjecting it to water flow impact. The water flow rate is 10 ml / min to 110 L / min, and a rated current is applied simultaneously for 1000 hours to conduct an aging test.

[0075] In one embodiment, the sample to be tested is subjected to a water flow impact at room temperature, with a water flow rate of 100 L / min, while a rated current is applied, for 1000 h to conduct an aging test.

[0076] In one embodiment, at room temperature, a 35 g / L salt solution is continuously flowed over the surface of the sample to be tested to create a water flow impact at a flow rate of 100 L / min, while a rated current is applied simultaneously for 1000 h to conduct an aging test.

[0077] Figure 4 Here is a flowchart of step 104 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 4 Step 104 also includes sub-step 402.

[0078] Step 402: At a preset temperature, the sample to be tested is immersed in a cycle for a first preset time, while a rated current is applied during the cycle to perform an aging test.

[0079] Optionally, the sample to be tested is placed in a tank with a depth of 0.5m-2m, and the tank is filled with water or salt water (with the same concentration range as the salt water concentration mentioned above) for 40 minutes. Then the water or salt water is drained for 20 minutes. The soaking and non-soaking time is a total of 60 minutes, which constitutes one cycle. A total of 1000 cycles are performed. During this period, the rated current is applied to conduct an aging test to simulate the working environment of the photovoltaic junction box sample at high and low tides at sea.

[0080] Figure 5 Here is a flowchart of step 104 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 5 Step 104 also includes sub-step 502.

[0081] Step 502: At a preset temperature, the sample to be tested is subjected to cyclic impact for a first preset time period, while a rated current is applied during the cycle.

[0082] The cyclic impact test within the first preset duration can be understood as subjecting the test sample to continuous impact from the aforementioned water or salt water for one consecutive preset time period, and then exempting the test sample from the impact from the aforementioned water or salt water for another consecutive preset time period. This continuous preset time period followed by another consecutive preset time period constitutes one cycle, and the test is repeated in multiple cycles. Optionally, the test sample is subjected to continuous impact from the aforementioned water or salt water for 40 minutes, followed by 20 minutes without impact, for a total of 60 minutes, constituting one cycle. A total of 1000 cycles are performed, during which a rated current is applied for aging testing to simulate the photovoltaic junction box sample operating in a marine environment during high and low tides.

[0083] Figure 6 Here is a flowchart of step 402 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 6 Step 402 includes sub-steps 602 to 604.

[0084] Step 602: At a preset temperature, place the sample to be tested into a container of a preset depth and continuously fill the container with solution so that the sample to be tested is immersed in the solution for a second preset time.

[0085] The preset depth is 0.5m-2m, the solution is water or salt water of the same concentration as above, and the second preset time is the soaking time of the sample to be tested in one cycle, which can be 40min.

[0086] Step 604: After the second preset time, the solution is continuously vented to allow the soaked sample to dry for the third preset time.

[0087] The sum of the second preset duration and the third preset duration is the total duration of each soaking cycle.

[0088] The third preset duration is the time to soak the sample in one cycle and then drain it, which can be 20 minutes.

[0089] In one embodiment, at room temperature, the sample to be tested is placed in a 1m deep tank, the tank is filled with water for 40 minutes, and then the water is drained for 20 minutes; the soaking and non-soaking time is a total of 60 minutes, which constitutes one cycle, and a total of 1000 cycles are performed, during which the rated current is applied to carry out the aging test.

[0090] In one embodiment, at room temperature, the test sample is placed in a 1m deep tank, and the tank is filled with 35g / L salt water for 40 minutes. Then the water is drained for 20 minutes. The total soaking and non-soaking time is 60 minutes, which constitutes one cycle. A total of 1000 cycles are performed, during which the rated current is applied to conduct an aging test.

[0091] Figure 7 Here is a flowchart of step 502 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 7 Step 502 includes sub-steps 702 to 704.

[0092] Step 702: At a preset temperature, the solution is continuously flowed over the surface of the sample to be tested, so that the sample to be tested is continuously impacted by the solution for a second preset time.

[0093] Step 704: Allow the sample to stand after being impacted by the solution for a third preset time period.

[0094] The solution is water or saline solution of the above concentration. The second preset time is 40 min, which represents the duration of the solution continuously flowing over the surface of the sample in one cycle. The third preset time is 20 min, which represents the duration of the sample after being impacted by the solution being left to stand in one cycle.

[0095] In one embodiment, at room temperature, the sample to be tested was subjected to water flow impact for 40 minutes at a water flow rate of 100 L / min; then left to stand (without impact) for 20 minutes. The total duration of water flow impact and no impact was 1 hour, constituting one cycle. A total of 1000 cycles were performed, during which a rated current was applied for aging testing.

[0096] In one embodiment, at room temperature, the sample to be tested was subjected to a saline flow shock for 40 minutes, with a saline concentration of 35 g / L and a water flow rate of 100 L / min; then left to stand (without shock) for 20 minutes. The water flow shock and no shock were combined for 1 hour, constituting one cycle. A total of 1000 cycles were performed, during which a rated current was applied for aging testing.

[0097] Figure 8 Here is a flowchart of step 102 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 8 Step 102 includes sub-steps 802 to 806.

[0098] 802. Perform a visual inspection on the initial sample.

[0099] Optionally, the initial sample can be visually inspected or its appearance can be observed on a monitor; no specific limitations are made here.

[0100] 804. When the appearance of the initial sample meets the first preset condition, the initial sample is placed in a container and a solution is added until the solution covers the initial sample. A test voltage is then applied to the initial sample to perform a wet leakage test.

[0101] The first preset condition is that the sample box is not deformed. When the initial sample box is normal, it is placed in the container and the above solution is added. Then, a test voltage is applied to the initial sample to perform a wet leakage test.

[0102] Optionally, the initial sample can be subjected to a wet leakage current test according to IEC 62790. The test voltage can be selected from 1000V, 1500V, or 2000V depending on the sample model. The 62790 standard is the IEC standard for photovoltaic junction boxes. This standard sets out the performance requirements and tests for junction boxes used in ground power stations and residential rooftop applications. Since the marine environment is more severe, qualified products tested under this standard have better waterproof performance.

[0103] 806. Obtain the resistance between the sample and the solution during the wet leakage current test. When the resistance meets the second preset condition, the initial sample is used as the sample to be tested.

[0104] The resistance between the sample and the solution is the insulation resistance. The second preset condition is that the insulation resistance is greater than 2000MΩ. The instrument used to test the resistance can be an insulation resistance tester, which is not specifically limited here.

[0105] Optionally, the allowable range of the insulation resistance threshold of the second preset condition can be selected according to the type and concentration of the solution, and the second preset condition can be adjusted accordingly.

[0106] Figure 9 Here is a flowchart of step 106 in one embodiment, see reference. Figure 9 Step 106 includes sub-steps 902 to 906.

[0107] Step 902: Perform an appearance inspection on the sample after the aging test.

[0108] Step 904: When the appearance of the sample meets the first preset condition, the sample is placed in a container and a solution is added until the solution covers the initial sample, and a test voltage is applied to the sample to perform a wet leakage test.

[0109] Step 906: Obtain the resistance between the sample and the solution during the wet leakage current test. When the resistance meets the second preset condition, the sample to be tested is determined to meet the qualification condition.

[0110] The first and second preset conditions are the same as the judgment preset conditions of the sample to be tested, and the test methods are also the same, in order to determine whether the sample to be tested still meets the qualified conditions after aging test (simulating water or marine environment operation), thereby determining whether the sample has long-term reliability in working under water immersion or water wave impact environment.
