Abstract
Alternative energy products are an increasingly common sight on military bases in the United States. Energy product reliability affects the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of these systems, which must be tested by outside entities to ensure quality. The purpose of this thesis is to perform component level reliability testing on a high voltage power capacitor used in an electrical vehicle solar charging system. A component level characterization was performed to better understand the physical attributes of these capacitors. This investigation identified the expected component lifetime and conditions in which this component will become less reliable. Results are compared to those published by the manufacturer.
