To guarantee life time more than 20 years for manufacturer without stopping photovoltaic(PV) system, it is really important to test the module in realistic time and condition compared to outside weather. In here, we tested PV modules in highly stressed condition compared to IEC standards. In IEC 61215 and IEC 61646 standards, damp-heat, thermal cycle(TC200) and mechanical test are main test items for evaluating long-term durability of PV module in controlled temperature and humidity condition. So in this paper, we have lengthened the test time for TC200 and damp-heat test and increased the loading stress on surface of module. Through this test, we can get some clue of proper the method for measuring realistic life cycle of PV modules and suggested the minimum time for PV test method. The detail description is specified as the following paper.

The aim of the present study is to determine clinical efficacy and adverse reaction of yugan-tang. We compared symptoms and liver function test results of 160 patients with damp-heat type liver disease in before and after taking yugan-tang. The patients took 200ml yugan-tang two times daily for three months. Then we analyzed these datas statistically. The overall therapeutic effect was "markedly improved" in 70 of 160 patients (43.75%) and "improved" in 75 of 160 patients (46.88%). yugan-tang markedly improved damp-heat type liver disease, especially jaundice, abdominal distention, hypochondriac pain, nause, vomiting and anorexia. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level and total bilirubin (TBIL) level were within normal limits at baseline. But albumin-globulin ratio (A/G) level was not changed markedly. I think that yugan-tang is worth applying widely to clinic.

To analyze the phenomenon of corrosion in the PV module, we experimented damp heat test at $85^{\circ}C$/85% relative humidity(RH) and $65^{\circ}C$/85% RH for 2,000 hours, respectively. We used 30 mini-modules designed of 6inch one cell. Despite of 2,000 hours test, measured $P_{max}$ is not reached failure which is defined less than 80% compared to initial $P_{max}$. Therefore, we calculate proper curve fitting over 2,000 hours. Data less than 80% $P_{max}$ is found and B10 lifetime is calculated by the number of failure specimens and weibull distribution. Using B10 lifetime that the point of failure rate 10% and Peck's model, the predictable equation of lifetime was derived under temperature and humidity condition.

To guarantee 20-25 years to the lifetime of the PV modules without failure, reliability test of the module is very important. Field-aged test of the outdoor environment is required. However, due to time constraints, accelerated testing is required to predict the lifetime of PV modules and find causes of failure. Failure is caused by many complex phenomena. In this study, we experimented two accelerated tests about corrosion and fatigue, respectively. First, temperature cycling test for fatigue were tested and Coffin-Manson equation was analyzed. Second, damp heat test for corrosion were tested and Eyring equation were analyzed. Finally, using two-mode failure model, we suggest a new lifetime model that analyze the phenomenon by combining two kinds of data.

Output power of photovoltaic (PV) modules installed outdoors decreases every year due to environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and ultraviolet irradiations. In order to promote the installation of PV modules, the reliability must be guaranteed. One of the important factors affecting reliability is intermetallic compounds (IMC) layer formed in ribbon solder joint. For this reason, various studies on soldering properties between the ribbon and cell have been performed to solve the reliability deterioration caused by excessive growth of the IMC layer. However, the IMC layer of the PV module interconnected by multi-wires has been studied less than using the ribbon. It is necessary to study soldering characteristics of the multi-wire module for improvement of its reliability. In this study, we analyzed the growth of IMC layer of the PV module with multi-wire and the degradation of output power through damp-heat test. The fabricated modules were exposed to damp-heat conditions (85 ºC and 85 % relative humidity) for 1000 hours and the output powers of the modules before and after the damp-heat test were measured. Then, the process of dissolving ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) as an encapsulant of the modules was performed to observe the IMC layer. The growth of IMC layer was evaluated using OM and FE-SEM for cross-sectional analysis and EDS for elemental mapping. Based on these results, we investigated the correlation between the IMC layer and output power of modules.

유기 태양전지는 다른 무기계 태양전지에 비해 물질 자체의 쉬운 가공성과 유연한 특성으로 차세대 플렉시블 태양전지로 각광받고 있지만 상대적으로 짧은 수명으로 상용화에 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 유기 태양전지의 짧은 수명의 원인으로는 수분과 산소에 의한 광활성층의 화학적 열화 및 표면의 변화, 전극의 열화, 전자-전공 수송층의 흡습현상 등이 있다 [1]. 본 연구에서는 이러한 이론적인 열화 메커니즘에 기초하여 일정한 수분과 산소 분위기에서 각 단위층들이 열화되는 현상을 광학적, 화학적 분석을 통해 짧은 수명의 원인을 밝혀내고자 한다. 유기 태양전지의 가혹시험은 $85^{\circ}C$의 온도와 85%의 습도 조건에서 이뤄졌으며, 가혹시간에 따른 열화현상 비교를 위해 0, 50, 100, 250, 500 h 동안 시험을 진행하였다. C-O, C=O 결합 형성에 의한 광활성층의 ${\pi}$공액의 변형은 FT-IR(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy)과 XRD (X-ray diffraction) 측정을 통해 분석하였고 변화된 표면 형상은 FE-SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) 측정을 통해 관찰하였다.

Usage of heavy metal element (Pb, Hg and Cd etc.) in electronic devices have been restricted due to the environmental banning of the European Union, such as WEEE and RoHS. Therefore, it is needed to develop the Pb-free solder plated ribbon in photovoltaic (PV) module. This study described that degradation characteristics of PV module under damp heat (DH, $85^{\circ}C$ and 85% R.H.) condition test for 1,000 h. Solar cell ribbons were utilized to hot dipping plate with Pb-free solder alloys. Two types of Pb-free solder plated ribbons, Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu (SAC305) and Sn-48Bi-2Ag, and an electroless Sn-40Pb solder hot dipping plated ribbon as a reference sample were prepared to evaluate degradation characteristics. To detect the degradation of PV module with the eutectic and Pb-free solder plated ribbons, I-V curve, electro-luminescence (EL) and cross-sectional SEM analysis were carried out. DH test results show that the reason of maximum power (Pm) drop was mainly due to the decrease fill factor (FF). It was attributed to the crack or oxidation of interface between the cell and the ribbon. Among PV modules with the eutectic and Pb-free solder plated ribbon, the PV module with SAC305 ribbon relatively showed higher stability after DH test than the case of PV module with Sn-40Pb and Sn-48Bi-2Ag solder plated ribbons.

태양광 모듈에서 태양전지를 연결해주는 인터커넥터로 리본 솔더로 SnPbAg가 사용되고, 옥외 태양광 발전에 장기간 노출시 리본의 부식으로 인한 열화가 흔히 관찰된다. 이러한 부식현상으로 인하여 리본과 태양전지의 접합이 약해져 접촉저항이 증가하고, 또한 리본 자체의 직렬 저항이 증가하게 되어 태양전지의 전압 전류 곡선에서 충진률 손실로 출력이 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 리본의 부식을 완화시킬 수 있는 방법으로 희생양극법을 이용하여 순수 알루미늄 및 아연, 알루미늄, 아연 그리고 마그네슘의 합금을 이용한 5가지 희생양극 소재의 부식에 의한 열화 저감을 연구하였다. 전기화학적 방법으로 희생양극 소재의 개방회로 전위와 폐쇄회로 전위를 측정하였고, 포텐시오다이나믹 분극 곡선을 측정하고, 영저항전류계를 이용하여 리본과 소재간의 갈바닉 전류를 측정하였다. 또한, 아세트산과, NaCl에 리본과 희생양극 소재의 부착 전후의 침지시험과 4셀 미니모듈로 제작한 후 1500시간 고온고습 시험 전후 출력을 평가하였다. 그 결과 Al-3Mg와 Al-3Zn-1Mg의 희생양극 소재가 부식속도가 느리고, 출력저하를 저감시킬 뿐만 아니라 장기 안정성에도 효과적인 것으로 평가된다.

In this paper, we examined 10 domestic samples of three different model using thermal, humidity freeze, thermal-endurance and damp heat test under IEC61215 photovoltaic module environmental endurance test condition. Three was almost no changes on power generation. Insulation resistance capacity was much higher than judgement standard but, showed unstable results depending on environmental test items. On external appearance test, there were two models which showed bubble, humidity penetration, seal melted frame phenomenon. From this results, the degree of aging under the external environment is a main cause that shortens photovoltaic module life time. So it is considered that the efforts for finding optimum condition of manufacturing process should be needed.

To assess the usefulness of tongue inspection for evaluating the Pattern identification in oriental medicine, we observed stroke patient's tongue and tongue coat and compared it with Pattern identification. The test group was composed of 85 acute stroke stage patients(within 72 hours of onset). Subjects were randomly selected from stroke patients admitted in the KyungHee University, Hospital of Oriental Medicine from December 1 1998 to June 30 1999. We took pictures of patient's tongue and tongue coat within 72hours from onset and checked Pattern identification at the same time. Tongues colored pale rose or red greatly outnumbered other colors. Tongue shape tended to be prickly or fissured, and tongue condition tended to be unflexible or deviated. Regarding tongue coat color, there were great amounts of yellow or clark yellow tongue coats, which were moist, thick or greasy in substance. The red tongue was significantly related to Fire-heat and deficiency of Yin syndrome, while faint white tongue to Damp syndrome(P=0.006). In terms of tongue coat, thin coat was related to Wind and Fire-heat syndromes, thick coat to Damp and Blood stasis syndrome, respectively (P=0.002). In conclusion, we thought that tongue inspection could be a useful Oriental medicine diagnosis in stroke.
