Abstract

For fuel cell applications, a unique isolated boost DC-DC converter with three switches is presented in this work. These are the primary attributes of the recommended converter: 1) Constant current input; 2) reduction in an active switch, addition of a diode, and a capacitor; 3) voltage waveforms on the transformer's primary and secondary sides remain intact when the duty cycle is altered; and 4) removal of the snubber circuit are some of the effects that should be observed. The operating principles, analysis, procedure for designing the converter's parameters, and simulation results are exhibited in this work.
