Abstract |
Recently, a fuel cell is remarkable for new generation system. The fuel cell is characterized by low voltage and high current. Therefor, for connecting to general load, it needs both a step up converter and an inverter. The proposed system consists of an isolated DC-DC converter to boost the fuel cell voltage to 380[Vdc] and a PWM inverter with LC filter to convert the dc voltage to single phase 220[Vac]. Also, bi-directional DC-DC converter for fuel cell generation system is composed to improve load response characteristic. In this paper, full bridge converter and the single phase inverter are designed and installed for fuel cell. Simulation and experiment verify that fuel cell generation system could be applied for the distributed generation. |
