The converter is controlled by means of a sliding mode control strategy, employing two different sliding surfaces for the charging and discharging operation mode. The proposed scheme is validated by means of simulations.","PeriodicalId":149421,"journal":{"name":"2008 13th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126599969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tests were conducted using the hybrid PWM method proposed in [1]. The HPWM reduces computational overhead in space vector computation and introduces k0 factor. The proper shaping of k0 allows either reducing switching losses in power devices or minimizing current ripple in the load. However in some cases modulation of k0 is ineffective.

As a first approach, the problematic of fault tolerance for multi-stack PEM fuel cell power systems dedicated to battery-hybrid transportation systems will be considered from both sides which closely interact: the fuel cell generator in case of faulty working and the power converter interface. For the first case, the use of antiparallel by-pass diodes have proved to be a solution and are tested on series assembly of 2-cell (experimental validation) and 20-cell (simulation) PEM fuel cell stacks. For the second one, the technological choice of an interleaved multi-phase boost converter interface with backup strategies and fault-tolerance management will be detailed. One of the great issues of these converter architectures is also to give new possibilities for power management and coordination with the battery inside this hybrid transportation system.","PeriodicalId":149421,"journal":{"name":"2008 13th International Power Electronics and Motion Control Conference","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122699853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
