Comparative Analysis of Fuel Cell-Based Three-Phase Interleaved Boost Converter Using PI Controller

Fuel cell electric vehicles, often known as FCEVs, are electric vehicles that are powered by fuel cells. In this study, different types of fuel cells, including a 6-kW proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), perform well and are modeled and analyzed to inform the design of an interleaved boost converter. Power generated by fuel cells is both eco-friendly and efficient. However, the output voltage cannot be kept constant because of variations in operating circumstances; a converter is required. When developing a boost converter for a high-power application, the most difficult task is figuring out how to manage the high current that is being input while still maintaining a high output voltage. An interleaved boost dc-dc converter is provided here for the purpose of increasing the voltage for high-power applications. Based on different types of fuel cells the interleaved boost converter voltage of 140V and its efficiency has increased by 94%. To verify the designs, MATLAB/Simulink was used.
