Abstract
A system of a plurality of series-connected converter devices for a fuel cell apparatus and a method for controlling the system are provided. The system includes a fuel cell apparatus controller, the plurality of converter devices, a series connection unit, a Mux control unit, a power control unit, and a master controller. The output ends of the plurality of converter devices are connected in series by the series connection unit. The master controller reads signals from the power control unit and the Mux control unit and determines accordingly which converter devices need to be turned on to meet the requirement of a load. The method includes the steps of estimating a load, determining the number of the converter devices to be turned on, calculating an output power, discharging, and charging. Thus, the plurality of converter devices is controlled to output the required power of the load.
