ABSTRACT
Renewable energy generation is quickly rising in the power sector industry and extensively used for two groups: grid
connected and standalone system. This paper gives the insights about fuel cell process and application of many power
electronics systems. The fuel cell voltage drops bit by bit with increase in current because of losses related with fuel cell. It is
difficult to control large rated fuel cell based power system without regulating tool. The issue associated with fuel based
structural planning and the arrangements are extensively examined for all sorts of applications. In order to increase the
reliability of fuel cell based power system, the combination of energy storage system and advanced research methods are
focused in this paper. The control algorithms of power architecture for the couple of well-known applications are discussed.

I. INTRODUCTION
The price of fossil fuel is increasing step by step because of
absence of accessibility. The power system industries are
restructuring to renewable energy based power generation
as an alternate solution. By considering environmental
factors, the fuel cell based energy generation is a most
suitable renewable system than solar and wind energy
system [1]. Recently, fuel cells are rapidly developed and
commercially available with high, medium and low power
range applications. In order to reduce the cost of fuel cell,
researchers havebeen focused to improvethe reliabilityand
efficiency of the fuel cell based power system [2]. The
analysis report shows that the fuel cell market is increasing
every year [3].
The first fuel cell was accidentally invented in 1839 by Sir
William Robert Grove, however, no down to earth's
utilization was found for one more century [2]. General
Electric Company (GE) started creating fuel cell in the 1950s
and was granted the agreementfor the Geminispacemission
in 1962. The 1 kW Gemini energy unit framework had a
platinum stacking of 35 mg Pt/cm2 and execution of 37
mA/cm2 at 0.78 V [3]. In the 1960s enhancements were
made by joining Teflon in the impetus layer specifically
contiguous the electrolyte, as was finished with the GE fuel
cell unit at the time. Extensive upgrades were made from the
mid-1970s, forward to the reception of the completely
fluorinated Nafion layer.
The department of energy (DOE) and national energy
technology laboratory (NETL) are mainly concentrated on
developing fuel cell based power plants for standalone and
grid connected applications [4].
The overall commercialization of fuel cell has not yet come.
The two biggest obstructions for commercialization is life
time and expense [5]. The lifetime needed by a commercial
fuel cell is more than 5000 working hours for light-weight
vehicles and more than 40,000 working hours of stationary
power with not as much as a 10% decay [6], [7]. At present,
most power devices display real execution rot after around a
thousand hours of operation [8], [9]. The DOE targets are to
accomplish an existence time of 40,000 h by 2011 with 40%
effectiveness for distributed power and 5000-h life by 2015
to 60% efficiency for transportation. Fuel cell technologyhas
many advantages as compared with the other conventional
renewable energy sources.
II. TYPES AND OPERATION OF FUEL CELLS
Water electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases is
a well-known established process. Basically, the principle of
a water electrolyser is to convert water and DC electricity
into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, that is to say the reverse
of a hydrogen fuel cell. This process was firstly
demonstrated by Nicholson and Carlisle in 1800. In the
1820s Faraday clarified the principles and in 1934 he
introduced the word “electrolysis”.Electrolysiswasnotused
commercially to produce hydrogen from water until1902 by
the Oerlikon Engineering Company. During thesameperiod,
Nernst developed the high-temperature electrolyte ZrO2
with 15% Y2O3, this being the basis for solid oxide
electrolysis (SOEC) and solid oxidefuelcells(SOFC).In1951,
the first commercially available high pressure electrolyser
(30 bar) was presented by Lurgi. Nowadays, low
temperature electrolysis technologyis availablewithatleast
13 manufactures (3 using alkalineelectrolysersand 10 using
polymer membranes).Ontheotherhand, SOEC technologyis
still under development. This technology attracted great
interest in the 1980s because of the studies curried out by
Donitz and Erdle [3], where they reported the first SOEC
results within the HotElly project from Dornier System
GmbH using electrolyte supported tubular SOEC. In this
program, single cells have been operated during long-term
periods with current densities of −0.3Acm−2 and 100%
Faraday efficiency at a voltage as low as 1.07V. In addition,
Westinghouse Electric Corporation Research and
Development Centre contributed to the development of
SOEC. They reported Area Specific Resistance (ASR) values
of about 0.6 cm2 per cell in a seven-cell stack at 1003 ◦C [4].
Research in high temperature electrolysis has increased
significantly in recent years, as will be described in the
present review.

2.2. Fuel cell operation
The working principle of the fuel cell is simple, however, it
has complicated design. Fuel cell essentially comprises of
cathodes, electrolyte and fuel. The positive and negative
terminals are known as cathode and anode, respectively.
These are two terminals are contacted with the electrolyte
inside and external electric circuit. The fuel is continuously
fed tothe anode while oxidant suppliedtocathode.Generally,
the fuel is pure hydrogen or contains some hydrogen gases
like methanol, ethanol and natural gases. The oxidants are
pure oxygen or contains oxygen gaseslikeairorhalogenslike
chlorine [20], [21], [22].
In mostof the cases, the combustion of Hydrogenandoxygen
produces the water and it will split into two electrochemical
reactions at theelectrodeindependently,whicharetermedas

III. RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN FUEL CELLS
The optimal selection of size of the fuel cell is important to
locatethe fuel cell in distributedsystemtomeetthepeakload
demands for different applications of utilities [21]. The
various intermediate ranges of differentfuelcellsavailablein
markets from 0.5 kW to 2 MW are given in this classical
paper [10]. Particularly the research is focusing on PEM,

MCFC and SOFCfuelcells, toreduce the cost of thefuelstacks
and toincrease their life spanmorethan 40,000 h.Atpresent
a 7 kW capacity PEMFC development is carried out by plug
power for residential applications and 250 kW capacity is
under tested condition by Ballard power generation system.
The Department of Energy (DOE) and Fuel Cell Energy, Inc.
have researched MCFCs heavily for stationary power
applications. A 1.2 MW system is largest distributed
generation power plantlocated atSanta Clara, CA and forthe
commercialization purpose the developmentof250,300and
400 kW capacity MCFC for cogeneration is researched in
various countries such as Europe, Holland, Italy, Germany
and Spain [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [13]. The SOFC has
likewise achieved success in stationary power applications.
Siemens Westinghouse has developed and tested a 250 kW
hybrid system that has achieved efficiency of 52% and the
efforts are also going on to develop the SOFCs in different
ratings as 1 and 25 kW. They are also developing a high
efficiency 5 kW SOFC-GT system to reduce its high
installation cost. More over further research is focusing on
PEMFC and PAFC systems for the combined heat and power
generation [13], [17], [18], [19].Theresearchisalsofocusing
on developmentof 100 kW to1 MW DMFC and otherfuelcell
types such as DFAFC, DEFC, PCFC and DBFC for commercial
applications [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [20].
3.1. I–V characteristics of fuel cells
The fuel cell voltage is usually very small, around 1.2 V. Due
to their low output voltage it becomes necessary to stack
many cells that need to be connected in cascaded series and
parallel form to increaseits power capacity. A typicalfuelcell
polarization characteristic with electrical voltage against
current density is shown in Fig. 1[22]. It can be seen that a
linear region exists because as the current density increases
the voltage drops due to its ohmic nature. This region is
called ohmic polarization, it is mainly due to internal
resistance offered by various components. At low current
level, the ohmic loss becomes less significant; the increase in
output voltage is mainly due to activity of the chemical
reactions (time taken for warm up period). So this region is
also called active polarization. At very high current density
thevoltage fall down significantlybecauseofthereductionof
gas exchange efficiency, it is mainly due to over flooding of
waters in catalyst and this region is alsocalled concentration
polarization.
Fig.1. Typical fuel cell polarization curve
The performance of the fuel cell is improved by
thermodynamics and electrical efficiency of the system. The
thermodynamicefficiencydepends upon thefuelprocessing,
water management and temperature control of the system.
But the electrical efficiency depends on the various losses
over the fuel cells like ohmic loss, activation loss and
concentration loss. In reality, the fuel cells differ in terms of
characteristics, material used in construction and their
suitability of applications. This includes military, space,
portable devices, residential, stationary and transportation
applications [5], [13].
IV. POWER-CONDITIONING UNITS (PCUS)
Looking to the drooping characteristics of fuel cell the
development of power-conditioning units (PCUs) plays an
important role to interface the fuel cell system with
standalone/grid-connected system. The available fuel cell in
the market is only in the range of 25–50 V due to its higher
production cost. The generated fuel cell voltage is converted
into directly ac supply by using single stage dc/ac inverter
topologies or by a combination of a dc/dc converter in series
with dc/acinverter formingmultistage conversion asshown
in Fig. 2[35].
Fig.2. Schematics of fuel cell power electronic-conditioning
systems
The selection of power-conditioning unit is based on some
significantfactors like lower cost, higher efficiency, electrical
isolation, ripple free and reliable operation. The efficiency of
the power-conditioning unit depends upon the conduction
and switching losses. Theconductionlossescanbeeffectively
reduced by reducing the usage of components and their
operatingranges. The switchinglossescanbereducedbysoft
switchingtechniques either by zerovoltagecrossing(ZVS)or
zero current crossing (ZCS) techniques. The major
advantages of soft switching technique over hard switching
conditions are to reduce the losses over the device by about
20–30% [36]. In order toreducethecostandtoincreasetheir
reliability the selection of topology must have reduced
component count. More over an electrical isolation is
required to protect the fuel cell stacks under overload
conditions.
With the ideologies of fuel cell requirements and operations,
several dc/dc converters and dc/ac inverter topologies are
researched [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [4
4], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51]. In dc/dc converters

the efficiency of the conventional boost converter is always
greater than the other converter topologies like push pull,
half bridge, full bridge, etc., because it has reduced
component counts and simplicity in control. But for the
protection point of view electrical isolation is not possible in
boostconverter as shown in Fig. 3. Howeverforisolationand
high boost ratio, push pull, half bridge and full bride can be
considered as candidate topologies [37]. Fig. 4 shows a push
pull converter is used to reduce the conduction loss in
switchesby operatingonlyoneswitchatanytimetointerface
the fuel cell voltage to dc bus. But the major problem is the
transformer saturation which results in converter failure
because the two half portions of the center tap transformer
windings cannotbeequalorsymmetricallywound.Therefore
it is suitable for low and medium power applications
only [38]. Though the half bride converter as shown in Fig.
4 is suitable for high power applications, it requires large
value of secondary/primary transformation ratio to deliver
thedesired output voltage or itrequires large value ofdclink
capacitors to eliminate the transformer saturation that
increases cost of theconverter [36].Thefullbridgeconverter
as shown in Fig. 5 is suitable for high power applications
compared to half bridge. Though it has more components, it
has an advantage of reduced device current ratings,
transformer turns ratio and the voltage and current stresses
are small compared with other topologies [40], [41].

Development of dc/ac inverters topologies are also studied
based on their relative characteristics under operating
conditions. From this paper [38], [42], it is clear that for
single phase loads single phase 3 wire inverter shown in Fig.
7 is the bestchoice compared to single bus inverter with two
paralleled half bridgeinverter anddualbusinverterwithtwo
split half bridge topologies, because it satisfies the ultimate
basic requirements of reduced components, simple design
and control.

V. FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS
Fuel cells are used in manyapplicationsincluding distributed
generation (DG), automotive application and
telecommunication application. In all these applications, the
technical, economic and environmental advantages of fuel
cells are exploited. Some of the specific applications of fuel
cell are explained in the next subsections.
A. Fuel cell vehicle
Fuel cells are a promising innovation in transportation.
The main objective of the automotive industry is to improve
the fossil fuel efficiency andreducetheharmful gasemission.
Because of this fact, the growth of fuel cell rapidly increases
in e-vehicles applications [24]. A fuelcell vehicle isbecoming
popular and attracts more due to the absence of internal
combustion engines. Also, it has the advantages of
simple construction with more reliable and pollution free.
The main challenge of fuel cell based vehicleistoconvertand
control of the electrical power to mechanical power. Fig.
3 shows the fuel cells are becoming more attractive in the
automotive industry. The main challenge in usingfuelcellfor
vehicle application is to convert the power generated to
mechanical power and controlling of the generated electric
power. Fig. 3shows the generalized block diagram of a heavy
duty fuel cell powered transit bus [25].
B. Telecommunication
Fuel cells are popular in telecommunication systems [31],
[32]. The fuel cell framework is currently under test by the
distinctive telecom organization in worldwide for backup
application. Giuseppe Gianolo et al. have been proposed a
new system named electro7 fuel cell power system for
telecommunication application [33].

C. Underwater vehicle
Recently, the fuel cells are used in submarines and ships. In
ships, the fuel cells can be used as an advanced electric ship
demonstrator (AESD). However, thespaceoccupied byafuel
cell system is large and it has to be taken care. Due to higher
environment temperature caused by fuel cells, the special
consideration needs to be provided forothersensitivemajor
components and ship's crew. The choice of fuel cell must be
able to withstand the under level temperature and humidity
of ship fuel, however, such a fuel cells are industrially
accessible [34]. PEMFC is appropriate for maritime
applications in light of its low working temperature, quick
switch-on/switch-off conduct, and long service life. PEMFC
module could be incorporated into the Advanced Electric
Ship Demonstrator. The combination of the energy unit
modules into AESD obliges a strong force moulding
framework [35].
VI. CONCLUSIONS
This paper presents a detailed review of the fuel cell, which
includes the chemical and electrical aspects of the fuel cell.
Moreover, the working principles of the fuel cells and the
different types of fuel cells available in the markethavebeen
reported. The investigation has been made against different
applications of the fuel cells. The current and research
challenges in the fuel cells and its solutions are addressed
with reference of the recent articles. Different typologies of
the power electronic converters that can be used forfuel cell
applications are discussed. The issuesofstandaloneandgrid
connected fuel cell based power system are mentioned.
The literature review clears that the fuel cells are used in
many applications which includes Electric vehicles, power
generation and in space ships, etc.Asaddressedtheresearch
challenges in this paper are to be incorporated for better
utilization of the fuel cell technology efficiently. In addition,
it is identified that the low voltage output is the main
drawback of fuel cell in electrical application and in order to
mitigate this issue a higher gain and efficient power
electronic converters has to be developed. Furthermore,itis
evident that by the year of 2030, the fuel cell replaces the
conventional internal combustion engines in all commercial
vehicles.

Fuel Cell System and Their Technologies A Review

  • 1. International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (IJTSRD) Volume: 3 | Issue: 2 | Jan-Feb 2019 Available Online: www.ijtsrd.com e-ISSN: 2456 - 6470 @ IJTSRD | Unique Reference Paper ID - IJTSRD20316 | Volume – 3 | Issue – 2 | Jan-Feb 2019 Page: 153 Fuel Cell System and Their Technologies: A Review Rameez Hassan Pala M.Tech Scholar, Electrical Engineering Department, Yamuna Institute of Engineering & Technology, Yamunanagar, Haryana, India ABSTRACT Renewable energy generation is quickly rising in the power sector industry and extensively used for two groups: grid connected and standalone system. This paper gives the insights about fuel cell process and application of many power electronics systems. The fuel cell voltage drops bit by bit with increase in current because of losses related with fuel cell. It is difficult to control large rated fuel cell based power system without regulating tool. The issue associated with fuel based structural planning and the arrangements are extensively examined for all sorts of applications. In order to increase the reliability of fuel cell based power system, the combination of energy storage system and advanced research methods are focused in this paper. The control algorithms of power architecture for the couple of well-known applications are discussed. KEYWORDS: Distributed generation; Renewable energy sources; Fuel cell systems; Power-conditioning units; dc/dc converters; dc/ac inverters I. INTRODUCTION The price of fossil fuel is increasing step by step because of absence of accessibility. The power system industries are restructuring to renewable energy based power generation as an alternate solution. By considering environmental factors, the fuel cell based energy generation is a most suitable renewable system than solar and wind energy system [1]. Recently, fuel cells are rapidly developed and commercially available with high, medium and low power range applications. In order to reduce the cost of fuel cell, researchers havebeen focused to improvethe reliabilityand efficiency of the fuel cell based power system [2]. The analysis report shows that the fuel cell market is increasing every year [3]. The first fuel cell was accidentally invented in 1839 by Sir William Robert Grove, however, no down to earth's utilization was found for one more century [2]. General Electric Company (GE) started creating fuel cell in the 1950s and was granted the agreementfor the Geminispacemission in 1962. The 1 kW Gemini energy unit framework had a platinum stacking of 35 mg Pt/cm2 and execution of 37 mA/cm2 at 0.78 V [3]. In the 1960s enhancements were made by joining Teflon in the impetus layer specifically contiguous the electrolyte, as was finished with the GE fuel cell unit at the time. Extensive upgrades were made from the mid-1970s, forward to the reception of the completely fluorinated Nafion layer. The department of energy (DOE) and national energy technology laboratory (NETL) are mainly concentrated on developing fuel cell based power plants for standalone and grid connected applications [4]. The overall commercialization of fuel cell has not yet come. The two biggest obstructions for commercialization is life time and expense [5]. The lifetime needed by a commercial fuel cell is more than 5000 working hours for light-weight vehicles and more than 40,000 working hours of stationary power with not as much as a 10% decay [6], [7]. At present, most power devices display real execution rot after around a thousand hours of operation [8], [9]. The DOE targets are to accomplish an existence time of 40,000 h by 2011 with 40% effectiveness for distributed power and 5000-h life by 2015 to 60% efficiency for transportation. Fuel cell technologyhas many advantages as compared with the other conventional renewable energy sources. II. TYPES AND OPERATION OF FUEL CELLS Water electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen gases is a well-known established process. Basically, the principle of a water electrolyser is to convert water and DC electricity into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, that is to say the reverse of a hydrogen fuel cell. This process was firstly demonstrated by Nicholson and Carlisle in 1800. In the 1820s Faraday clarified the principles and in 1934 he introduced the word “electrolysis”.Electrolysiswasnotused commercially to produce hydrogen from water until1902 by the Oerlikon Engineering Company. During thesameperiod, Nernst developed the high-temperature electrolyte ZrO2 with 15% Y2O3, this being the basis for solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) and solid oxidefuelcells(SOFC).In1951, the first commercially available high pressure electrolyser (30 bar) was presented by Lurgi. Nowadays, low temperature electrolysis technologyis availablewithatleast 13 manufactures (3 using alkalineelectrolysersand 10 using polymer membranes).Ontheotherhand, SOEC technologyis still under development. This technology attracted great interest in the 1980s because of the studies curried out by Donitz and Erdle [3], where they reported the first SOEC results within the HotElly project from Dornier System GmbH using electrolyte supported tubular SOEC. In this program, single cells have been operated during long-term periods with current densities of −0.3Acm−2 and 100% Faraday efficiency at a voltage as low as 1.07V. In addition, Westinghouse Electric Corporation Research and Development Centre contributed to the development of SOEC. They reported Area Specific Resistance (ASR) values of about 0.6 cm2 per cell in a seven-cell stack at 1003 ◦C [4]. Research in high temperature electrolysis has increased significantly in recent years, as will be described in the present review.

Types of fuel cell Fuel cells are mainly classified according to the electrolyte and types of fuel used. The main categories of fuel cells available in the market are explained below. 2.1.1. Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) Acid polymer is used as the electrolyte and pure hydrogenis used as fuel. The operating temperature of the PEMFC is below 100°C.

Fuel cell operation The working principle of the fuel cell is simple, however, it has complicated design. Fuel cell essentially comprises of cathodes, electrolyte and fuel. The positive and negative terminals are known as cathode and anode, respectively. These are two terminals are contacted with the electrolyte inside and external electric circuit. The fuel is continuously fed tothe anode while oxidant suppliedtocathode.Generally, the fuel is pure hydrogen or contains some hydrogen gases like methanol, ethanol and natural gases. The oxidants are pure oxygen or contains oxygen gaseslikeairorhalogenslike chlorine [20], [21], [22]. In mostof the cases, the combustion of Hydrogenandoxygen produces the water and it will split into two electrochemical reactions at theelectrodeindependently,whicharetermedas two cell reaction. The basic reaction taking place in a fuel cell is given in Eqs. (1), (2), (3). The overall reaction of the water electrolysis is: 222 2 1 OHOH +→ (1) The reactions in the cathode and anode sides are: −− +→+ 2 22 )(2 OgHeOH (2) −− +→ eOO 2 2 1 2 2 (3) III. RECENT DEVELOPMENT IN FUEL CELLS The optimal selection of size of the fuel cell is important to locatethe fuel cell in distributedsystemtomeetthepeakload demands for different applications of utilities [21]. The various intermediate ranges of differentfuelcellsavailablein markets from 0.5 kW to 2 MW are given in this classical paper [10]. Particularly the research is focusing on PEM,

The Department of Energy (DOE) and Fuel Cell Energy, Inc. have researched MCFCs heavily for stationary power applications. A 1.2 MW system is largest distributed generation power plantlocated atSanta Clara, CA and forthe commercialization purpose the developmentof250,300and 400 kW capacity MCFC for cogeneration is researched in various countries such as Europe, Holland, Italy, Germany and Spain [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [13]. The SOFC has likewise achieved success in stationary power applications. Siemens Westinghouse has developed and tested a 250 kW hybrid system that has achieved efficiency of 52% and the efforts are also going on to develop the SOFCs in different ratings as 1 and 25 kW. They are also developing a high efficiency 5 kW SOFC-GT system to reduce its high installation cost. More over further research is focusing on PEMFC and PAFC systems for the combined heat and power generation [13], [17], [18], [19].Theresearchisalsofocusing on developmentof 100 kW to1 MW DMFC and otherfuelcell types such as DFAFC, DEFC, PCFC and DBFC for commercial applications [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [20]. 3.1. I–V characteristics of fuel cells The fuel cell voltage is usually very small, around 1.2 V. Due to their low output voltage it becomes necessary to stack many cells that need to be connected in cascaded series and parallel form to increaseits power capacity. A typicalfuelcell polarization characteristic with electrical voltage against current density is shown in Fig. 1[22]. It can be seen that a linear region exists because as the current density increases the voltage drops due to its ohmic nature. This region is called ohmic polarization, it is mainly due to internal resistance offered by various components. At low current level, the ohmic loss becomes less significant; the increase in output voltage is mainly due to activity of the chemical reactions (time taken for warm up period). So this region is also called active polarization. At very high current density thevoltage fall down significantlybecauseofthereductionof gas exchange efficiency, it is mainly due to over flooding of waters in catalyst and this region is alsocalled concentration polarization. Fig.1. Typical fuel cell polarization curve The performance of the fuel cell is improved by thermodynamics and electrical efficiency of the system. The thermodynamicefficiencydepends upon thefuelprocessing, water management and temperature control of the system. But the electrical efficiency depends on the various losses over the fuel cells like ohmic loss, activation loss and concentration loss. In reality, the fuel cells differ in terms of characteristics, material used in construction and their suitability of applications. This includes military, space, portable devices, residential, stationary and transportation applications [5], [13]. IV. POWER-CONDITIONING UNITS (PCUS) Looking to the drooping characteristics of fuel cell the development of power-conditioning units (PCUs) plays an important role to interface the fuel cell system with standalone/grid-connected system. The available fuel cell in the market is only in the range of 25–50 V due to its higher production cost. The generated fuel cell voltage is converted into directly ac supply by using single stage dc/ac inverter topologies or by a combination of a dc/dc converter in series with dc/acinverter formingmultistage conversion asshown in Fig. 2[35]. Fig.2. Schematics of fuel cell power electronic-conditioning systems The selection of power-conditioning unit is based on some significantfactors like lower cost, higher efficiency, electrical isolation, ripple free and reliable operation. The efficiency of the power-conditioning unit depends upon the conduction and switching losses. Theconductionlossescanbeeffectively reduced by reducing the usage of components and their operatingranges. The switchinglossescanbereducedbysoft switchingtechniques either by zerovoltagecrossing(ZVS)or zero current crossing (ZCS) techniques. The major advantages of soft switching technique over hard switching conditions are to reduce the losses over the device by about 20–30% [36]. In order toreducethecostandtoincreasetheir reliability the selection of topology must have reduced component count. More over an electrical isolation is required to protect the fuel cell stacks under overload conditions. With the ideologies of fuel cell requirements and operations, several dc/dc converters and dc/ac inverter topologies are researched [35], [36], [37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42], [43], [4 4], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50], [51]. In dc/dc converters

But for the protection point of view electrical isolation is not possible in boostconverter as shown in Fig. 3. Howeverforisolationand high boost ratio, push pull, half bridge and full bride can be considered as candidate topologies [37]. Fig. 4 shows a push pull converter is used to reduce the conduction loss in switchesby operatingonlyoneswitchatanytimetointerface the fuel cell voltage to dc bus. But the major problem is the transformer saturation which results in converter failure because the two half portions of the center tap transformer windings cannotbeequalorsymmetricallywound.Therefore it is suitable for low and medium power applications only [38]. Though the half bride converter as shown in Fig. 4 is suitable for high power applications, it requires large value of secondary/primary transformation ratio to deliver thedesired output voltage or itrequires large value ofdclink capacitors to eliminate the transformer saturation that increases cost of theconverter [36].Thefullbridgeconverter as shown in Fig. 5 is suitable for high power applications compared to half bridge. Though it has more components, it has an advantage of reduced device current ratings, transformer turns ratio and the voltage and current stresses are small compared with other topologies [40], [41]. Fig.3. Non-isolated dc/dc boost converter. Fig.4. Push pull converter. Fig.5. Isolated half bridge dc/dc converter. Fig.6. Isolated full bridge dc/dc converter. Development of dc/ac inverters topologies are also studied based on their relative characteristics under operating conditions. From this paper [38], [42], it is clear that for single phase loads single phase 3 wire inverter shown in Fig. 7 is the bestchoice compared to single bus inverter with two paralleled half bridgeinverter anddualbusinverterwithtwo split half bridge topologies, because it satisfies the ultimate basic requirements of reduced components, simple design and control. Fig.7. Single bus inverter with two paralleled half bride topology. V. FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS Fuel cells are used in manyapplicationsincluding distributed generation (DG), automotive application and telecommunication application. In all these applications, the technical, economic and environmental advantages of fuel cells are exploited. Some of the specific applications of fuel cell are explained in the next subsections. A. Fuel cell vehicle Fuel cells are a promising innovation in transportation. The main objective of the automotive industry is to improve the fossil fuel efficiency andreducetheharmful gasemission. Because of this fact, the growth of fuel cell rapidly increases in e-vehicles applications [24]. A fuelcell vehicle isbecoming popular and attracts more due to the absence of internal combustion engines. Also, it has the advantages of simple construction with more reliable and pollution free. The main challenge of fuel cell based vehicleistoconvertand control of the electrical power to mechanical power. Fig. 3 shows the fuel cells are becoming more attractive in the automotive industry. The main challenge in usingfuelcellfor vehicle application is to convert the power generated to mechanical power and controlling of the generated electric power. Fig. 3shows the generalized block diagram of a heavy duty fuel cell powered transit bus [25]. B. Telecommunication Fuel cells are popular in telecommunication systems [31], [32]. The fuel cell framework is currently under test by the distinctive telecom organization in worldwide for backup application. Giuseppe Gianolo et al. have been proposed a new system named electro7 fuel cell power system for telecommunication application [33].

Underwater vehicle Recently, the fuel cells are used in submarines and ships. In ships, the fuel cells can be used as an advanced electric ship demonstrator (AESD). However, thespaceoccupied byafuel cell system is large and it has to be taken care. Due to higher environment temperature caused by fuel cells, the special consideration needs to be provided forothersensitivemajor components and ship's crew. The choice of fuel cell must be able to withstand the under level temperature and humidity of ship fuel, however, such a fuel cells are industrially accessible [34]. PEMFC is appropriate for maritime applications in light of its low working temperature, quick switch-on/switch-off conduct, and long service life. PEMFC module could be incorporated into the Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator. The combination of the energy unit modules into AESD obliges a strong force moulding framework [35]. VI. CONCLUSIONS This paper presents a detailed review of the fuel cell, which includes the chemical and electrical aspects of the fuel cell. Moreover, the working principles of the fuel cells and the different types of fuel cells available in the markethavebeen reported. The investigation has been made against different applications of the fuel cells. The current and research challenges in the fuel cells and its solutions are addressed with reference of the recent articles. Different typologies of the power electronic converters that can be used forfuel cell applications are discussed. The issuesofstandaloneandgrid connected fuel cell based power system are mentioned. The literature review clears that the fuel cells are used in many applications which includes Electric vehicles, power generation and in space ships, etc.Asaddressedtheresearch challenges in this paper are to be incorporated for better utilization of the fuel cell technology efficiently. In addition, it is identified that the low voltage output is the main drawback of fuel cell in electrical application and in order to mitigate this issue a higher gain and efficient power electronic converters has to be developed. Furthermore,itis evident that by the year of 2030, the fuel cell replaces the conventional internal combustion engines in all commercial vehicles. REFERENCES [1] G The fuel cell industry review.
