DC/DC Converter FCDC/DC Buck-Converter for Fuel Cell Systems
Last Updated on Thursday, 19 November 2009 12:37
As a result of a researching project with the University of Applied Sciences FH Stralsund we developed a DC/DC-Buck-converter for fuel cell systems. The converter delivers selectable output voltages and can be equipped with different battery charging methods. It is possible to connect the converter to miscellaneous battery systems like lead-type batteries, NiMH or even modern LiIon type accumulators.
