A single-bridge interleaved three-level LLC resonant converter with current sharing capability for fuel cell system.

This paper propose a wide gain single-bridge interleaved three-level LLC resonant converter with current sharing capability. This novel converter offers numerous advantages, including low cost, low current ripple, reduced voltage and current stress, widely gain range, high efficiency, good current sharing capability and versatile application scalability. Utilizing the three-level inverter + full-wave rectifier LLC converter as a representative case, the paper conducts an in-depth analysis and research on the proposed method. Finality, a 600 W experimental prototype was constructed and tested. Experimental results reveal that the proposed converter exhibits lower current ripple and a broader gain range. Moreover, the converter shows good current sharing capability (with a resonant element tolerance of 10%, the current error between the two phases does not exceed 12%) and high efficiency (peaking at 95.8%).
