State Space Averaged Modeling and Power Loss Computations for Fuel Cell Powered Four-Phase Interleaved Boost Converter

Abstract:

This paper investigates the state space averaging of a four-phase Interleaved Boost Converter (IBC) powered by fuel cells. The state space averaging technique is a method to model the converter as time independent which is defined by a set of differential equations which will be useful for designing the controllers [18]. In this paper, mathematical models developed using state space averaging technique are presented for the proposed IBC. The power loss calculations are also computed. Simulation of IBC with fuel cell as the source is carried out in MATLAB and the results are presented and discussed.
