Abstract

Renewable energy generation is rapidly growing in the automobile sector and power sector industry. This paper gives the insights about fuel cell operation and its classification based on the electrolyte. The fuel cell voltage decreases bit by bit with expansion in current because of losses associated with fuel cell. It is difficult in handling large rated fuel cell based power system without regulating mechanism. In this paper, the challenges to improve the dynamics of controller in fuel cell based applications are mentioned. The issue connected with fuel based structural planning and the arrangements are widely investigated for all sorts of utilization. In order to improve the reliability of fuel cell based automobile system, the integration of energy storage system through soft switching bi-directional dc/dc converter for controlling charging and discharging of the current and advanced research methods are focused in this paper. Analysis modelling and design of soft switching bi-directional dc/dc converter has been carried out through the MATLAB/SIMULINK for the parametric of the filter elements.
