Current Ripple

Mass commercialization of fuel cells (FC) and its usage in transportation requires that the FC technology to be competitive with regard to performance and cost, while meeting efficiency and emissions targets. Therefore, fuel cell output current ripple that may shorten FC lifespan, worsen FC efficiency and reduce the FC output capacity need to be addressed. In this paper, an improved multi-device interleaved boost converter (MDIBC) with novel multiplex controller topology is designed to further reduce the input current and output voltage ripples, without increasing the number of MDIBC switching devices. The Matlab/Simulink behaviour model of the improved MDIBC with novel multiplex controller and conventional MDIBC circuit are developed in the simulation studies. The proposed improved MDIBC design is then compared with the conventional MDIBC and its performance is verified.

This paper deals with analysis of the four phase interleaved DC-DC converter for higher power application. The interleaved topology is widely used due to  its advantage as lower input current ripple which means volume reduction of the input capacitor. The current ripple equation of an input current for the boost operation mode and the ripple current in the individual phase of the interleaved converter using uncoupled inductor are shown. The theoretical equations are supplemented by the simulation results using the Spice simulator and by measurement on the interleaved converter.
