Summary: In response to stricter regulations on pollutant and carbon emissions set by the International Maritime Organization, the shipping industry is looking for new marine power plants that are highly efficient and have low emissions. Among the alternatives, fuel cells are considered the most practical technology due to their ability to generate electricity efficiently with minimal pollutants and carbon emissions. Comprehensive reviews on the maritime applications of fuel cells are scarce, so a collection of news reports and literature from the past sixty years was done to summarize the current status and future prospects of marine fuel cells. Several countries in Europe, North America, and Asia have heavily invested in research and development of marine fuel cells, resulting in tangible achievements such as industrialized fuel cell systems and practical demonstration applications. While the current focus of global research is on proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), the demand for marine fuel cells is expected to steadily grow in the future, leading to solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) becoming mainstream in the next research stage due to their higher power capabilities and fuel diversity. Despite some challenges, with the collaborative efforts worldwide, SOFCs have the potential to drive the upgrade and modernization of marine power systems.

Summary: This article proposes a new simple pulse multiplication circuit (SPMC) with low current stress to upgrade a normal 20-pulse autotransformer rectifier (20PAR) to a 40PAR. The SPMC includes two tapped interphase reactors and two additional diodes with lower conduction losses. Compared to conventional pulse multiplication circuits, the proposed SPMC does not require a zero-sequence blocking transformer, making it simpler to implement. Simulation and experimental results show that the input current's total harmonic distortion using 40PAR is less than 3%, meeting the DO-160G requirements for aviation applications.
