A lightweight modular multilevel converter-type fuel cells (MMC-FCs) system based on the partial power conversion (PPC) of FCs is proposed, so as to realize the power control of the FC system which is incorporated into a hybrid medium- and low-voltage network. The MMC-FCs on the AC side based on the synchronous switching network of a high-frequency link (HFL) can realize the coupling cancellation of the sub-module (SM) fundamental frequency and double-frequency ripple power, and reduce the demand of SM capacitance by [2(1–m2/4)3/2fSM]/[(1+2m2)πfF] times. As a result, the volumes of SMs are reduced, and the lightweight of SMs are realized by improving the power density. The FC system uses partial power control to incorporate the DC low-voltage bus, which reduces the partial power capacity and loss of the FC converter. Meanwhile, the FC converter is reused with the AC HFL square wave power signal to reduce the power conversion stages, thus further improving the lightweight of the system. The structure of MMC-FCs, SM filtering principle, FC PPC mechanism, SM capacitance, FC PPC voltage and other parameters are analyzed and designed in detail. Finally, through an evaluation on volume and losses, the effectiveness of the proposed MMC-FCs scheme was verified by simulation and experimental results.
