Abstract

This thesis primarily focuses on reduction and the complexity of a fuel cell controller and research carried out in the modeling of a renewable energy sources like fuel cell. A fue l cell, one of the recently identified electrical energy resource, provides clean power with high efficiency which undergoes certain chemical reactions to produce electrical power using hydrogen as the fuel and oxygen as an oxidizing agent. Apart from its high efficiency, the fuel cell does not require charging and recharging like batteries since they use the chemical energy without combustion. The goal of this thesis is to examine the possibility of FPGA based hardware prototyping for a complex fuel cell s ystem, so that we can use this system controller efficiently for controlling the voltage. The overall work in this thesis aims to promote professional activity in the area of fuel cell controller and low power electronics used in the modern age, with an im portant focus on the design, development, simulation, and verification, and to examine the possibility of using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) for the rapid prototyping of a PI+PWM digital electronic controller, which is made up of two main componen t, fuel cell stack and boost converte
