High efficiency power electronic converter for fuel cell system application
This paper discusses the efficiency of two power electronic converters connected in cascade in aim to generate the maximum power from the fuel cell and regulate the load voltage under different working conditions and load variations. The first converter is an interleaved boost proposed to minimize t...
