Abstract :
This paper presents the study and implementation of an electronic load for fuel cell testing. In a typical fuel cell electrical testing, it is necessary to draw a controllable dc current from it, thus an electronic load based on the boost converter is connected to the cell to control its output current. The design procedure and simulation results are presented. In order to validate the design method and verification of the effectiveness of the converter in this application, experimental results are also presented.
