摘要：Interleaved boost converter is well suited for high power and high performance applications. This paper investigates the performance of three-phase uncoupled and directly coupled Interleaved Boost Converter (IBC) for fuel cell applications. By employing directly coupled inductors for IBC, the overall current ripple can be effectively reduced which increases the lifetime of fuel cells. In this paper, a three phase interleaved boost converter using CoolMOS and Silicon Carbide (SiC) diode has been proposed for fuel cells compared to the classical IBC reported in the literature. Mathematical analysis of overall current ripple and the design equations for IBC has been presented. Analysis based on the relationship between current ripples and operating conditions such as duty cycle and coupling coefficient has been investigated for uncoupled and directly coupled IBC. The performance parameter of IBC such as switching losses and efficiency has been studied. Simulation of IBC interfaced with Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been studied using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Experimental prototype has been built to validate the results.
