Abstract
A high-efficiency high step-up DC-DC converter is proposed for fuel cell power systems. The proposed system consists of an input-current doubler, an output-voltage doubler, and an active-clamp circuit. The input-current doubler and the output-voltage doubler provide a much higher voltage conversion ratio without using a high turns ratio in the transformer and increase the overall efficiency. A series-resonant circuit of the output-voltage doubler removes the reverse-recovery problem of the rectifying diodes. The active-clamp circuit clamps the surge voltage of switches and recycles the energy stored in the leakage inductance of the transformer. The operation principle of the converter is analyzed and verified. A 1 kW prototype is implemented to show the performance of the proposed converter. The prototype achieved a European efficiency of 96% at an input voltage of 30 V.
