RESTREPO, Andrés Fernando; RAMOS-PAJA, Carlos Andrés  and  FRANCO, Edinson. POWER CONTROL OF A BIDIRECTIONAL DC BUS FOR FUEL CELLS APPLICATIONS. Rev.EIA.Esc.Ing.Antioq [online]. 2012, n.18, pp.159-170. ISSN 1794-1237.

This paper proposes a power system for fuel cell applications able to transfer energy from the power source to the load, and to charge an auxiliary storage device using regenerative power flows generated by the load. The solution is based on a closed loop bidirectional DC/DC converter, where additional devices have been also designed to experimentally test the solution in a safe and realistic environment: a fuel cell emulator and an electronic load.

Keywords : regenerative power flow; DC-DC bidirectional converter; auxiliary storage; electronic load; fuel cell emulator.
