Abstract
This paper deals with the comparison analysis of the proposed six-phase interleaved boost converter (IBC) for fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) application. Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor and inverse coupled inductors have been used to improve converter’s performance. According to the comparison analysis, the proposed converter’s input current ripple has been reduced, while fuel cell stack’s life span can be extended. Then, the total volume and weight of magnetic component has been decreased due to the inverse coupled inductor. Furthermore, benefiting from the SiC semiconductor, high switching frequency has been selected and low switching loss has been obtained. The power loss of the proposed converter has been reduced, while the reliability, efficiency, thermal performance, and power density have been increased.
