Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Design of fuel cells supporting system for power autonomous systems and microgrids is proposed. The technique is based on the approach of multilevel single-phase DC/AC converter. Designed system includes fuel cells stack, 5-level single-phase DC/AC converter based on half-bridge structural elements to generate upper levels. Control system is designed and developed using PIC18 microcontroller. To find the switching angles with minimized THD for output voltage of the converter the genetic algorithm approach is applied and simulated.
