A comparative study DC-DC power converter between boost converter and series parallel-loaded resonant converter (S-PRC) for micro-fuel cells / Mohd Suhaizil Yaakop
Micro-Fuel cells (u-FCs) are an emerging technology that has attracted lots of attention and research efforts. The fuels used are cheap and abundant, and the fast recharging mechanism makes u-FCs attractive replacements to many of today's energy sources. This project is aimed to compare two pow...
