Abstract
This paper presents a simple 3 level DC-DC boost converter for fuel cell applications to boost voltage from 48 V DC to 210 V DC. The main advantages of this converter are its simple design, presence of a single switching element for easy controllability, compact size, low cost and high power density. It is basically a simple boost converter with 3 stage voltage multiplier connected to the output side. Simulation and Hardware results for a power level of 250 W are provided in this paper.
