Fuel Cell Systems for Telecommunications.

Standalone power systems for telecommunications are becoming an emergent need, due to environmental problems and their current tendency to be localized in remote places. Along with photovoltaic and wind generators, fuel cells are one of the most mature technologies to be employed in this kind of systems. As they are expensive and complex systems, it is important to simulate their behaviour to study different operating modes. This paper intends to propose a simulation of a fuel cell system with a voltage-fed full-bridge converter in the Matlab-Simulink^© environment fulfilling the strict telecommunications equipment requirements.
