Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 電子工程系 === 98 === Recently, clean energy resources, such as wind turbines, photovoltaic systems or fuel cells, have been exploited for developing renewable electric power generation systems. Among them, the rapid advances in fuel cell technology have enabled the significant developments in fuel cell power system. The fuel cells feature numerous advantages, such as high energy density, high current output ability, and high-efficiency operation. However, the fuel cell stacks present a low voltage output and a wide range of voltage variations under different load, temperature, humidity and electrochemical reaction conditions. A step-up power converter is therefore applied to obtain a high output voltage from the fuel cell system. A high-performance isolated multi-phase power converter for fuel cell power systems is studied and implemented. A digital controller is also designed to perform the interleaved operation of the paralleled multi-phase power modules. Finally, a 10-kW converter prototype is implemented and tested to verify the feasibility of the studied topology and control strategy.
