A fuel cell is electrochemical energy conversion device, using hydrogen as a fuel for production of electrical energy. Fuel cells are compact, efficient and environmentally friendly. Fuel cell power systems are foreseen to have applications in various fields such as electric vehicles, and as distributed generation sources interfaced with electric utilities. Since fuel cells produce variable, low voltage dc, a power electronic interface is required to adapt the output to common ac loads or power grid. In this paper design of a DC/DC stepup converter for 1.2 kW Fuel cell is discussed.
