Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Fuel cell power conditioners often require high step-up voltage gains to accommodate low input fuel cell voltages into high voltage busses. Traditional non-isolated DC-DC boost converters are unable to offer such as gains because of several parasitic elements and non-ideal behaviour of power semiconductors and driving circuits. Moreover, paralleled converters are also desirable to simplify power-up scaling and to reduce input/output current ripples. In this context, a very versatile non-isolated, high step-up voltage gain, interleaved boost converter is presented in this work. Steady-state analysis, simulation and evaluation of different converter structures are discussed in detail. Finally, a 500-W experimental prototype for Nexa Ballard 1.2 kW fuel cell specifications has been implemented and tested to verify the performance. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
