“…Fuel-cell stacks (FCS) are increasingly becoming popular, as a clean source of power, in standalone applications such as electric vehicles, data centers, telecommunication towers, low power low voltage dc grids (LVDCG) etc. [1][2][3] However, the low output voltage and slower dynamic response against rapid load variation is still a matter of concern. 1 List of Symbols and Abbreviations: THGBIBC, transformerless high-gain battery-integrated boost converter; FCS, fuel-cell stack; SEs, switching elements; CBC, conventional boost converter; APS, auxiliary power source; BPCS, battery pulse charging scenario; BPDS, battery pulse discharging scenario; IBS, isolated battery scenario; LVDG, low voltage dc grid; RGA, relative gain array; CCM, continuous-conduction mode; ESR, equivalent series resistance; Vg, fuel-cell stack voltage; i g , fuel-cell stack current; i L1 , i L2 , inductors (L 1 and L 2 ) currents; D 1 , D 2 , duty ratio of switches S 1 , S 2 ; V cx , V c0 , voltages across the capacitors (C x ,C 0 ); i cx , i co , current through capacitors (C x , C 0 ); η, efficiency.…”
