AB  - Recently, the fuel cell electric vehicles have
attracted many research interests. This study examines the
performance of MPPT-FC generators to provide power in
electronic devices by increasing the voltage level of the
boost DC/DC converter. In this model, the maximum
power in Fuel Cell generators (FC) based on integrated
control algorithms of boost DC/DC converter are used. In
MPPT method, the rapid changes raise in power output of
fuel cells but it shortens the life of fuel cells and the
destruction of these cells and reduction in system
performance. To fix the problem, air production control
system has been designed to improve quality of output
power and avoid the phenomenon of lack of receiving
energy during rapid power transitions. This has been
obtained by modeling and simulating power of the fuel
cells from the vehicles with experimental data in the same
models. Use of power of fuel cells has been targeted in
reducing cost and reducing consumption of micro
controllers in use of boost DC/DC converter in MPPT-FC
models. These micro controllers aim at using the
measurements from power of fuel cells to determine ratio
coefficient of control signals in boost DC/DC converter.
Then, a DC-DC boost converter positioned to divide the
current in high power application in fuel cell is
recommended and then MPPT controller is designed and
simulated for a boost DC/DC converter used in electrical
devices of fuel cell and the simulated circuit with and
without presence of MPPT has been compared and results
from simulation for various loads have been examined.
Ultimately, the obtained results are analyzed.
