Fuel Cells (FCs) and Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) systems are becoming very popular due to their environmental friendliness and immense applications. This extended review paper commenced by introducing the rampant South Africa's electricity crisis as the basis for the study, followed by some structural analyses of up to forty-four miscellaneous power electronics converters case studies applicable to fuel cells including at least sixteen FCs energy management systems (EMS) applicable case studies. The review rationale is to determine innovative best practices that can be applied to devise an efficient power converter and EMS for an energy efficient FC CCHP system. From these analyses, it is realized that each power converter and EMS scheme has its merits and demerits depending on the targeted applications and most importantly the research project objectives − that is, whether the goals are to reduce costs, enhance efficiency, reduce size, boost performance, simplicity, durability, reliability, safety etc. Therefore, the conclusion drawn is, there is no "one size fits all" approach, as all the various reviewed case studies reported relatively good results based on their chosen schemes for their targeted applications. Notwithstanding, this review highlights are, i) the interleaved boost converter and variants as well as ii) the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique; are the most widely used schemes, as they are reasonably effective and simple to implement. The contributions brought forward are i) an apt single reference study that presents a quick topological insight and synopsis of assorted FCs power converters as well as EMS and ii) our proffered FC CCHP system undergoing research to offer an innovative energy efficient solution for basic household energy needs such as electricity, heating, cooling and lighting.

“…However, these converters do not give high output voltage in real-time due to the presence of parasitic elements and also have high electric stress on power semiconducting devices. To increase the voltage gain, transformer-based converters are used by adjusting the turn ratio and are widely reported in the literature [2]. But these converters have setbacks due to the cost and size of the transformer.…”

Non-Isolated High Gain Quadratic Boost Converter Based on Inductor’s Asymmetric Input Voltage

This paper introduces the concept of inductors asymmetric input voltage to derive a new high voltage gain converter. The proposed converter has continuous input, positive output, and high-power density features suitable for renewable energy applications. The operating principle, steady-state performance, practical voltage gain, small-signal analysis, and efficiency of the converter are presented in this work. A comprehensive comparison is made with the high voltage gain converters available in literature in terms of component count, voltage gain, effectiveness index, voltage and current stress on the power devices, per unit switching device rating, and other features like output polarity and availability of common ground. The proposed topology possesses a higher effectiveness index and lower switching device power rating (SDP), resulting in a good form factor. To validate the performance of the proposed converter, the experiments are conducted on the 150 W laboratory prototype, and corresponding results are presented in this work.INDEX TERMS DC-DC converter, high voltage gain, quadratic converter, steady-state analysis, voltage stress.
