“…Chen et al [ 30 ] proposed a new single-inductor quadratic converter using average-current-mode control without slope compensation, which minimises several power management problems, such as efficiency, EMI, size, transient response, design complexity, and cost. Jahanmahin et al [ 31 ] proposed an improved configuration for DC-DC buck and boost converters, which is a novel method for increasing output power by utilising two storage elements and reducing the output ripple voltage for buck and boost converters.…”

Power electronics and fuel cell technologies play an important role in the field of renewable energy. The demand for fuel cells will increase as fuel cells become the main power source for portable applications. In this application, a high-efficiency converter is an essential requirement and a key parameter of the overall system. This is because the size, cost, efficiency, and reliability of the overall system for portable applications primarily depend on the converter. Therefore, the selection of an appropriate converter topology is an important and fundamental aspect of designing a fuel cell system for portable applications as the converter alone plays a major role in determining the overall performance of the system. This paper presents a review of power electronics applications in fuel cell systems, which include various topology combinations of DC converters and AC inverters and which are primarily used in fuel cell systems for portable or stand-alone applications. This paper also reviews the switching techniques used in power conditioning for fuel cell systems. Finally, this paper addresses the current problem encountered with DC converters and AC inverter.
