Abstract
Recently, a fuel cell with low voltage and high current output characteristics is remarkable for new generation system. It needs both a dc-dc boost converter and dc-ac inverter to be used in fuel cell generation system. Therefore, this paper presents dc-dc active clamp current-fed half-bridge converter with ZVS for fuel cell generation system. The proposed converter has outstanding advantages over the conventional dc-dc converters with respect to high efficiency and high component utilization. The Fuel Cell generation system consist of active clamp current-fed half-bridge converter to boost the Fuel Cell(PEMFC) voltage(28∼43[Vdc]) to 380[Vdc]. A single phase full-bridge inverter is implemented to produce 220[Vac], 60[Hz] AC outputs.
