Generalization of a DC–DC Modular Converter Topology for Fuel Cell Applications

This article presents a new modular dc–dc converter topology. As a modular topology, the converter can be used for several energy sources. Each converter module is based on a three-level dc–dc converter, which contains two output capacitors. The first module shares the second capacitor in common with the first capacitor of the next module. In this way, the N-module can be utilized for an N-energy ...
