Abstract

Three phase current source inverters (CSI) and voltage source inverters linked with a DC to DC boost converter (VSI+BC) are appropriate solutions to convert electrical energy for distributed fuel cell generation systems. The performance of CSI´s and VSI+BC´s in this application is shown and both topologies are compared to each other concerning their power semiconductor design rating and their semiconductor power losses
