On the choice of semiconductor converter circuit for matching fuel-cell and load voltages
Various power circuit options for DC semiconductor converters to match fuel-cell and load voltages are considered. The main characteristics of converters with and without galvanic coupling of power circuits of fuel cell and load are compared taking into account mutual arrangement of fuel-cell outputs and external characteristics of load including the required range of load voltage variations. Advantages and disadvantages of the DC converter power circuits are assessed.
