With the beginning of more stringent regulations related to fuel economy, global warming, and emissions as well as conventional energy resource limitations; electric, hybrid, and fuel-cell vehicles have been attracting increasing attention from vehicle constructors, consumers and governments. Especially, Proton exchange membrane fuel cell vehicles (PEMFCVs) based automobile industry has gained attention in the last few years due to rising public concern about urban air pollution and consequent environmental problems. However, design of power trains is difficult in fuel cell electric vehicle and maintaining on board hydrogen tanks as challenge in the system. Alternative power trains for automotive applications aim at improving an emissions and fuel economy. This paper provides an overview of a background of fuel cell vehicles history, different types of fuel cells based on the types of electrolyte used in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA), different types of powertrains have been used in the automobile industry especially in hybrid sector, achievements of fuel cell based automobiles in Indian terrain, various research challenges and comparing among the Internal Combustion Engines (ICE), Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs), FCHEV. Moreover, fuel cell

“…Therefore, the DC-DC converter can boost a low terminal voltage up to a high DC voltage. [4]- [6] Full-bridge converters, push-pull converters, and boost converters have been widely used as a DC-DC converters for fuel cell stacks. The full-bridge converter has the disadvantage of a high switching loss due to its large number of switching units.…”

This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a 2-stage DC-DC converter and a 3-phase PWM inverter. The 2-stage DC-DC converter boosts the fuel cell stack voltage of 26-48V up to 400V, using a hard-switching boost converter and a high-frequency unregulated LLC resonant converter. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. Based on the simulation results, a laboratory experimental set-up was built with a 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack to verify the feasibility of hardware implementation. The developed power conditioning system shows a high efficiency of 91%, which is a very positive result for the commercialization.

-This paper proposes a grid-tied power conditioning system for fuel cell, which consists of three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter and three-phase PWM inverter. The three-phase current-fed DC-DC converter boosts fuel cell voltage of 26-48 V up to 400 V with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) scheme, while the three-phase PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operation of the proposed power conditioning system with fuel cell model is verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation is verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype with 1.2 kW proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack. The proposed power conditioning system can be commercialized to interconnect the fuel cell with the power grid.
