Abstract

This paper simulates a Three-Phase Inverter (TPI) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells with fewer switches. It can also serve as a source for the production of stable electrical energy. Unlike the traditional 6-key 3-phase inverter, this paper proposes a 3-phase inverter with fewer switches. For real-time implementation, this can reduce the amount of computation. Fewer switches with lower switching losses, easy understanding control algorithm, and smaller in interface circuitry.

Keywords
