Generally, the power generating from the Fuel cell is an electrochemical reaction between H2 and oxygen and it generates electric energy, and the by-product is water vapour. However, the output from the fuel cell systemsis very low, then it becomes necessary to connect more number of cells in series to improve the output. The proposed method electrically divides the fuel cell stack into different sections, and each stack is powered by a direct boost inverter. This paper proposes a concept of high voltage dc-dc boost converter topology for a three phase systemto a typical output voltage from the fuel cell as a stand-alone supply. The main advantage of the proposed boost inverter method include ability to deliver the operations of both boosting and inversion of the power in only one stage, compactness, and economical. The output voltage from the fuel cell is a voltage controlled method and output from the battery is a current controlled method. Analysis, and Simulation are taken from a 1kW prototype.

High Voltage Gain

The interest toward the application of fuel cells is increasing in the last years mainly due to the possibility of highly efficient decentralized clean energy generation. The output voltage of fuel-cell stacks is generally below 50 V. Consequently, low-power applications with high output voltage require a high gain for proper operation. A zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) dc–dc converter with high voltage gain is proposed for fuel cell as a front-end converter. It consists of a ZVS boost converter stage and a ZVS half-bridge converter stage and two stages are merged into a single stage. The ZVS boost converter stage provides a continuous input current and ZVS operation of the power switches. The ZVS half-bridge converter stage provides a high voltage gain. The principle of operation and system analysis are presented. Theoretical analysis and simulation result of the proposed converter were verified.

AbstractHigh switching frequency and high voltage gain DC-DC boost converters are required for electric vehicles. In this paper, a new high step-up boost converter (HSBC) is designed for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) applications. The designed converter provides the better high voltage gain compared to conventional boost converter and also reduces the input current ripples and voltage stress on power semiconductor switches. In addition to this, a neural network based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller is designed for the 1.26 kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Radial basis function network (RBFN) algorithm is used in the neural network controller to extract the maximum power from PEMFC at different temperature conditions. The performance analysis of the designed MPPT controller is analyzed and compared with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Alternate Source

Due to the rapid developments in the field of electric vehicles (EVs), it is necessary to find the alternate source to power the EVs. The energy sources, such as fuel cell (FC) and solar photovoltaics (PV), are preferred; however, these sources produce low output voltage, and it is not sufficient to drive the EVs. The DC–DC converters are used to boost the voltage to the required voltage of the EVs; in addition, the EVs also require multiple output terminals to deliver the power to various parts of the system. Hence, in this paper, a new DC–DC converter topology is proposed to produce the three different output voltages from the single input source. The proposed converter has features such as high voltage gain with less duty cycle, reduced number of components, less power loss, and hence the efficiency. Moreover, the converter is operated with a single MOSFET switch with low [Formula: see text] due to its less voltage stress and high voltage gain. The required voltage gain is achieved by the super-lift (SL) technique, and the converter is also provided with a passive clamp circuit to recover the leakage energy of the coupled inductor. The theoretical analysis of the proposed converter is verified through the experimental prototype of 300 W, and the result proves the converter may be suitable for EV applications and the applications which require multi-level output voltage with a high voltage gain.

In this paper, a new transformerless buck–boost converter is introduced. The proposed converter voltage gain is higher that of the conventional buck–boost converter. In the presented converter, only one power switch is used. The switch voltage stress is low, therefore, the low on-state resistance of the power switch can be selected to decrease losses of the switch. The presented converter topology is simple, hence the control of the converter will be simple. The mathematical analyses and principle of the proposed converter are explained. The validity of the proposed converter is confirmed by the experimental results.
