Abstract

This paper addresses challenges in identifying the optimum isolated topology for fuel cell power conversion based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. Based on commercially available passive and active components and analytic equations, Pareto-front is generated to aid the topology and component selection. The Pareto-front for cost, efficiency is generated using a Monte-Carlo-based algorithm. It is shown that the classical isolated buck and boost converters are hard to beat on price but using advanced topologies may yield improved converter efficiency.
