Abstract

Power electronics plays an important role in providing an interface between fuel cells and loads. Furthermore, power electronic converters ensure that the power is reliably and efficiently delivered to the load in the required DC or AC form. In this paper, major types of fuel cells are presented Basic structures, operating principles, and different applications of fuel cells are described In addition, current status and future trends in the areas of power electronics for fuel cell applications are explained. A review of fuel cell power electronic system topologies and basic requirements are given as well.
