Abstract
Usage of fuel cell is now in increasing trend as it becomes an invariable component of electric vehicle technology. This paper deals with high efficient and elevated gain DC/DC converter for fuel cell applications toward future renewable energy system. High efficiency is obtained by employing single switch in the converter. Extended voltage gain with reduced voltage stress is obtained by proposed a hybrid converter which combines self-lift Cuk-boost topology. The proposed topology is inherently suitable for half-bridge inverter topology which requires galvanic isolation and three-wire supply. Simulation has been carried out to verify the proposed converter with variable load using MATLAB–Simulink environment. Comparison has been done with ideal DC supply and fuel cell supply.
