Abstract

In this research paper, we present a novel high-gain DC-DC converter designed for fuel cell applications in submarines. Fuel cells offer significant advantages for submarine power systems due to their high efficiency, silent operation, and capability to function without atmospheric oxygen. The proposed converter enhances the low voltage output of fuel cells to meet the higher power demands of submarine systems. This paper details the structure of the converter, operational modes, and simulation results. The converter demonstrates substantial improvements in voltage gain and efficiency, making it a suitable solution for advanced submarine power applications.
