Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, as shown by C31, when the output current reaches A3, the supplied fuel is substantially completely consumed
Therefore, from the point of view of complete fuel combustion, it is advisable to set the operating point of the fuel cell at a point where the output current is greater than A3. Provides a stable output voltage

Abstract

There is provided a power supply in which power generation of a fuel cell can be stabilized without using the output voltage or current from the fuel cell as a negative feedback signal. The power supply comprises a fuel cell (110), a DC / DC converter (120) for delivering the output voltage from the fuel cell (110) to a load unit (200) while regulating the voltage based on a PWM signal, a switching controller (130) for generating a PWM signal being delivered to the DC / DC converter (120), a voltage measuring instrument (140) for measuring the output voltage Vout from the DC / DC converter (120), and a secondary battery (150) connected in parallel with the load unit (200). The DC / DC converter (120) calculates the duty ratio of the PWM signal by performing a predetermined operation using the voltage Vout and a target battery voltage Vt.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a power supply device including a fuel cell. Background technique [0002] In recent years, fuel cells that can sustain power for a long time have attracted attention as power sources for electronic devices such as notebook computers and mobile phones. A variety of fuel cells have been developed, but as a power source for portable electronic devices such as notebook computers that require miniaturization, fuel cells of the type that directly supply power without reforming the fuel through a reformer, such as direct Methanol type fuel cells (direct methanol fuel cell) (hereinafter referred to as "DMFC") are expected to be high. [0003] In addition, the DMFC includes a fuel cycle type in which unused fuel cells are recovered and reused in supplied methanol, and a fuel non-cycle type in which unused methanol is not used any more. For the fuel cycle type, the operating point can be stabiliz...
