Wide Range High Gain Converter for H2 based Vehicle
PI: Dr. Ali. T. Al-Awami
This poster presents a wide-range high-gain DC-DC converter designed for hydrogen-based vehicles. The proposed converter overcomes the limitations of conventional boost converters, which face significant challenges at high voltage levels, such as high duty ratios, excessive component stress, and increased switching losses. By incorporating extended design elements and double duty cycles, this converter achieves high voltage gain with reduced stress on components, continuous input current, and a flexible operating range. The converter's performance is validated through experiments on a 600W prototype, demonstrating its effectiveness for high-voltage applications.
