Abstract
Due to low stack voltages and voltage regulation, converters must, in general, be used to interface fuel cell to the power-train of electric vehicles. This paper considers three converter topologies based, principally, on interleaving techniques. Analysis of steady state operation is used to compare the topologies such that design choices may be assessed prior to the prototyping
