Fuel cell (FC) energy systems are gaining prominence due to their clean and efficient operation, driving extensive research and technological advancements. These systems offer versatile applications, including grid integration, remote electrification, and stationary power generation, necessitating efficient power conversion solutions. This study aims to evaluate a Reduced Device Count (RDC) Multilevel Inverter (MLI) against a conventional MLI in a 6 kW Proton-based Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) set-up. The alleged RDC MLI reduces the number of power components while maintaining or enhancing performance. MATLAB/Simulink (2016a) simulations and OPAL-RT OP-4510 hardware validation confirm that the RDC MLI effectively reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and improved efficiency related to conventional topologies, demonstrating its suitability for FC-based applications.

摘要

Fuel cell (FC) energy systems are gaining prominence due to their clean and efficient operation, driving extensive research and technological advancements. These systems offer versatile applications, including grid integration, remote electrification, and stationary power generation, necessitating efficient power conversion solutions. This study aims to evaluate a Reduced Device Count (RDC) Multilevel Inverter (MLI) against a conventional MLI in a 6 kW Proton-based Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) set-up. The alleged RDC MLI reduces the number of power components while maintaining or enhancing performance. MATLAB/Simulink (2016a) simulations and OPAL-RT OP-4510 hardware validation confirm that the RDC MLI effectively reduces Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and improved efficiency related to conventional topologies, demonstrating its suitability for FC-based applications.
