In this paper, the design and evaluation of isolated soft switching current LCC-T Resonant DC-DC Converter for PV/Fuel cell applications. For the front end inverter switches, zero voltage switching (ZVS) is used for conversion. For voltage double diodes, Zero-Current Switching (ZCS) is used. Earlier, DC-DC converter provides high harmonic currents, so to overcome that, proposed converter is introduced. The proposed converter will improve the content of harmonic current based on the input variations and wide load. To get the required output voltage, transformer ration will be reduced. Because of the, for PV/ Fuel cell applications have better foot Print and high potential. The proposed converter operates in two modes mainly; they are constant frequency mode and constant duty cycle mode. These modes mainly depend on the load demand. At last from results it can observe that gives satisfying proposed theory.

Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) are emerging clean energy vehicles. A new soft switching current buck DC/DC circuit topology for FCEV was proposed. The characteristics and working process of the circuit topology were analyzed. By appending inductor, capacitor, diode in basic buck circuit, the converters main power switch and diode current were working in soft switching status, and the converters EMC and reliability were improved greatly. The circuit was simulated with Orcad software and its switch waveform, efficiency curve of 90kW DC/DC converter developed based on the topology was given. The converter has been used in the domestic fuel cell city buses successfully and proved to operate with reliability.
