dc.description.abstract | One of the challenges in accurately applying metrics for life
cycle assessment lies in accounting for both irreducible and
inherent uncertainties in how a design will perform under
real world conditions. This paper presents a preliminary
study that compares two strategies, one simulation-based
and one set-based, for propagating uncertainty in a system.
These strategies for uncertainty propagation are then
aggregated. This work is conducted in the context of an
amorphous photovoltaic (PV) panel, using data gathered
from the National Solar Radiation Database, as well as
realistic data collected from an experimental hardware setup
specifically for this study. Results show that the influence of
various sources of uncertainty can vary widely, and in
particular that solar radiation intensity is a more significant
source of uncertainty than the efficiency of a PV panel. This
work also shows both set-based and simulation-based
approaches have limitations and must be applied
thoughtfully to prevent unrealistic results. Finally, it was
found that aggregation of the two uncertainty propagation
methods provided faster results than either method alone. | en_US |
