This paper presents an algorithm for reliability analysis and energy management of Power Conditioning System for grid connected PV power generation using a high frequency AC (HFAC) microgrid system. The scheme is designed involving several electrical and electronics components. This analysis excludes redundancy of components. In the microgrid, connected loads are subjected to variable operating conditions of voltage and current. In this analysis component stress and temperature cycles are incorporated in an order to predict the life time and effective design methodologies.
