Abstract
In this paper, the design methodology of a parallel-resonant [Formula: see text] converter for fuel cell applications in the electric vehicle is proposed in order to achieve high efficiency. Although the converter is unidirectional, it is interposed between the fuel cell and the DC link. Additionally, the converter is made up of two full bridges, an [Formula: see text] resonant filter and a planar transformer. The use of a high-frequency transformer enables to minimize the converter size and the weight, to produce a higher voltage in the secondary side from an input voltage (fuel cell) and to isolate the full bridges. Furthermore, the rectifier diodes operate with a zero-current switching. Therefore, an experimental converter prototype has been designed, simulated, built and tested in the laboratory. Finally, a prototype having 30[Formula: see text]V as an input and 150[Formula: see text]V as an output with 500[Formula: see text]W is designed to demonstrate and analyze the proposed converter.
