Abstract

Fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are gaining significance due to their potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Their efficient fuel cell cycle makes them ideal for last-mile transportation, offering zero emissions and longer range compared to battery electric vehicles. Additionally, the generation of electricity through fuel cell stacks is becoming increasingly popular, providing a clean energy source for various applications. This paper focuses on utilizing the energy from fuel cycle bicycles when it's not in use and feeding it into the home DC grid. To achieve this, a dual-phase DC to DC converter is proposed to boost stack voltage and integrate with the 24 V DC home grid system. The converter design is simulated using the PSIM platform and tested in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environment with real-time simulation capabilities.

摘要

燃料电池汽车（FCV）因其具有减少温室气体排放和降低对化石燃料依赖的潜力而日益重要。其高效的燃料电池循环使其成为最后一英里运输的理想选择，与电池电动汽车相比，可实现零排放且续航里程更长。此外，通过燃料电池堆发电越来越受欢迎，可为各种应用提供清洁能源。本文重点研究在不使用时利用脚踏式燃料电池自行车的能量并将其馈入家用直流电网。为此，提出了一种双相直流-直流转换器，以提高电池堆电压并与24V直流家用电网系统集成。该转换器设计使用PSIM平台进行了仿真，并在具有实时仿真能力的硬件在环（HIL）环境中进行了测试。
