This paper presents a simplification method for photovoltaic (PV) mission profiles to be used in reliability modelling. The method is based on the formulation of a shorter, representative mission profile formed using select days from the mission profile. The method is thoroughly explained and is applied to a number of PV mission profiles as a demonstration. Unlike the previously published simplification method from the same authors, this method is applicable to PV profiles from any climate.

The methodology is demonstrated with three applications of the method. The time reduction yielded by the method is useful in enabling simulation sweeps of parameter variation for sensitivity analysis, in finding design values for system lifetime or profitability, and for other analyses.

本文提出了一种用于可靠性建模的光伏 (PV) 任务剖面的简化方法。该方法基于使用从任务配置文件中选择的日期形成的较短的、具有代表性的任务配置文件的制定。该方法得到了彻底的解释，并被应用于许多 PV 任务剖面作为演示。与同一作者先前发表的简化方法不同，该方法适用于任何气候的 PV 剖面。

该方法通过该方法的三个应用来演示。该方法所产生的时间减少对于启用参数变化的模拟扫描以进行灵敏度分析、寻找系统寿命或盈利能力的设计值以及其他分析很有用。
