Generally, the power generating from the Fuel cell is an electrochemical reaction between H2 and oxygen andit generates electric energy, and the by-product is water vapour. However, the output from the fuel cellsystemsis very low, then it becomes necessary to connect more number of cells in series to improve theoutput. The proposed method electrically divides the fuel cell stack into different sections, and each stack ispowered by a direct boost inverter. This paper proposes a concept of high voltage dc-dc boost convertertopology for a three phase systemto a typical output voltage from the fuel cell as a stand-alone supply. Themain advantage of the proposed boost inverter method include ability to deliver the operations of bothboosting and inversion of the power in only one stage, compactness, and economical. The output voltage fromthe fuel cell is a voltage controlled method and output from the battery is a current controlled method.Analysis, and Simulation are taken from a 1kW prototype.
