N2 - This paper presents a comparative study of the DC-DC converters used in heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles for different input fuel cell stack configurations and voltages in terms of various important metrics including efficiency, cost, weight and power density. Contrary to conventional use of an interleaved boost topology, the analysis presented in this paper demonstrates that improved converter metrics can be achieved for an interleaved buck topology that uses a different input fuel cell stack. An insight to the optimal choice of number of interleaved phases for each metric is also presented. Results presented in the tables and plots convey the findings.
