Abstract
A new ZCS-PWM dc-dc full-bridge boost converter is proposed in the paper. The proposed converter is well-suited to be used as a fuel cell converter where low input voltage / high output voltage conversion is required. In the paper, the operation of the proposed converter is explained in detail, and its features and design are discussed. The feasibility of the converter is confirmed with results that are obtained from an experimental prototype.
