The reliability of photovoltaic (PV) generators is strongly affected by the performance of Direct Current/Alternating Current (DC/AC) converters, being the major source of PV underperformance. However, generally, their reliability is not investigated at component level: thus, the present work presents a reliability analysis and the repair activity for the components of full bridge DC/AC converters. In the first part of the paper, a reliability analysis using failure rates from literature is carried out for 132 inverters (AC rated power of 350 kW each) with global AC power of 46 MW in a large scale grid-connected PV plant. Then, in the second part of the work, results from literature are compared with data obtained by analyzing industrial maintenance reports in the years 2015–2017. In conclusion, the yearly energy losses involved in the downtime are quantified, as well as their availability.

Optimal Formula

Let [Formula: see text] be a non-complete graph, a subset [Formula: see text] is called a [Formula: see text]-component cut of [Formula: see text], if [Formula: see text] is disconnected and has at least [Formula: see text] components. The cardinality of the minimum [Formula: see text]-component cut is the [Formula: see text]-component connectivity of [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-component connectivity is a natural extension of the classical connectivity. As an application, the [Formula: see text]-component connectivity can be used to evaluate the reliability and fault tolerance of an interconnection network structure based on a graph model. In a previous work, E. Cheng et al. obtained the [Formula: see text]-component connectivity of the generalized exchanged hypercube [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we continue the work and determine that [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we show that every optimal [Formula: see text]-component cut of [Formula: see text] is trivial for [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
