نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a high-efficient, low cost inverter system suitable for solid oxide fuel cell applications. The proposed inverter provides a solution for the lowvoltage/high-current fuel cell source by using power modules that are parallel connected in the input and series connected in the output of DC-DC boost modules. The inverter topology is analyzed and outlined. A prototype is developed to experimentally prove the application of the proposed
