As one can observe that in above circuit the circuit is not
connected to fuel cell module. The voltage has to be pre regulated
to using a boost converter and then soft switching technique is
applied to the converter. This topology requires clamping circuit.
The soft switching full-bridge DC/DC converter is composed of
two H-bridge converters with an intermediate high-frequency
transformer to boost the voltage to the appropriate level as seen
in Fig.6. Capacitors placed in parallel with the MOSFET
switches enable the converter to have ZVS turn-on and zero
current switching (ZCS) turn-off. On the other side this circuit
uses clamping circuit which causes the poor dynamic response.
Wide input range converter:

circuit uses three bridges at the front end; it results in complex
control and has major issue of circulating current among the
bridges conducted by semiconductor devices. If one bridge fails,
the modulation fails, i.e., the pulsating dc voltage does not
contain six-pulse information anymore, and hence, the inverter is
not able to produce balanced three-phase output.
III. CONVERTER TOPOLOGY
By taking the positive aspects from each of the above
mentioned schemes a novel converter is proposed; It uses
interleaved connection at the front to widen the input range, uses
a full bridge converter in that cascaded connection and further to
improve current rating at secondary or input of inverter, it uses
the hybrid modulation scheme proposed in the front end
multiphase dc but as we use an interleaved connection reduces
the complexity of modulation scheme. In addition, the circulating
current between the bridges is eliminated because of the proposed
modulation scheme. The proposed circuit is shown in figure
below.
