Modelling and Simulation of Current Fed Interleaved Isolated DC-DC Boost Converter for Fuel Cell Applications
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this a paper, a current fed, interleaved, high gain, DC-DC converter is proposed for fuel cell applications. The converter also provides electrical isolation between the load and the source by using a transformer. The input features two current fed, full bridge inverters in parallel while the output features two full bridge diode rectifiers in series. By using this topology, the high input current is shared between the two inverters. These enables the use of lower current rating semiconductor devices, reduces switching stresses and reduces the size of magnetic components. It also results in reducing the input current ripple and the output voltage ripple.
