    摘要: Control methods for operating a power converter circuit, consisting of a full bridge DC/DC converter stage and a full bridge DC/AC inverter stage, for use in automobiles and other vehicles. The DC/DC converter is operated by pulse width modulation and by “soft switching” and “synchronous switching” which involves turning MOSFET switches OFF and ON at strategic times to gain improvements in system performance. The DC/DC converter is also operated at a relatively high and relatively constant duty cycle, and is controlled in such a way as to make the output operate as a current source. The DC/AC inverter has a cycle by cycle overload current protection scheme.

    摘要: A DC Link for use with a multi-phase DC to AC converter provides soft-switch opportunities to the main inverter devices only when such opportunities are required. A quasi-resonant rail swings from source to ground potential either with or without the assistance of an auxiliary switch. The quasi-resonant rail swings from ground to source potential with the assistance of an auxiliary switch. Low switch stresses are characteristic in both the main inverter switch devices and the DC link switch devices. Main power is carried predominantly through a DC link switch thereby minimizing power handling requirements of DC link reactive components.

    摘要: A system for co-generation of electricity combining a hydrocarbon catalytic reformer, an SOFC assembly and a generator driven by a gas turbine. The fuel cell assembly recycles a high percentage of anode exhaust gas into the reformer. Oxygen for reforming is derived from water in an endothermic process. The stack exit temperature is normally above 800° C. DC power from the fuel cell assembly and AC power from the gas turbine generator are directed to a power conditioner. Anode exhaust gas including carbon monoxide and hydrogen is divided into a plurality of portions by which heat may be added to the reforming, gas turbine, and cathode air heating processes. Water may be recovered from the exhaust. A power system in accordance with the invention is capable of operating at a higher total efficiency than either the fuel cell component or the gas turbine component alone.

    摘要: Propulsion control system and method are provided for use in vehicles including a propulsion motor that is powered by a fuel cell. The fuel cell unit produces a compatible voltage for the propulsion motor, thereby removing the need for a dc/dc boost converter. A buck/boost converter and a standard 12 volt battery are used to start the fuel cell. An inverter receives dc electric voltage from the fuel cell and outputs ac electric voltage to the propulsion motor. A vehicle controller receives a voltage input from the fuel cell unit and outputs a current reference to a comparing device. The comparing device compares the current reference from the vehicle controller to an actual current of the fuel cell unit and then outputs a signal to a PI control which outputs a control signal to a fuel cell controller, whereby the power output of the fuel cell is controlled based on the actual current of the fuel cell.
