内容介绍：

Fuel cells are static energy conversion devices that convert the chemical energy of fuel (hydrogen) directly into electrical energy. They are clean and efficient power generation technologies, promising for static power generation such as distributed generation applications as well as transportation electrification such as fuel cell vehicles. For distributed generation applications, fuel cells have modular structures and can be placed near loads at different levels: houses, commercial buildings, or distribution centers. They can also be integrated with other renewable energy, such as wind or solar, to form a hybrid renewable energy system. For fuel cell vehicles, fuel cell stacks also normally work with battery and/or ultracapacitors to provide electric propulsion.

In this talk, the fundamentals and different types of fuel cells will be reviewed. After the introduction of power management of hybrid energy systems with fuel cells, the focus is given on load transient mitigation, which is important for both stationary and vehicle applications of fuel cells. Different load mitigation approaches and ripple reduction methods via DC/DC converters are discussed for fuel cell systems. DC/DC converters for fuel cell vehicles and a recent 180 kW DC/DC converter developed at Wayne State University will be introduced as an example for achieving high efficiency as well as low input current ripples.
