Title
A Dual-Source Inductive Power Transfer System Optimized With Large Misalignment Tolerance
Abstract
The emergence of wireless charging for electric vehicles greatly facilitates automatic charging while increases the reliability of charging process. In this study, a 3 kW dual-source inductive power transfer system is investigated, specially optimized for large misalignment tolerance. A bipolar-solenoid inductive coupled transformer and closed-loop control strategies are introduced. To achieve constant current charging and maximized efficiency in transverse misalignment, control methods that employ primary-side phase shift H-bridge inverter and secondary-side buck converter are proposed. Simulation and experimental results validate the feasibility of the proposed control method. An experimental prototype is set up and a peak DC-DC efficiency of 87.3% is achieved at 200mm air gap, and a minimal efficiency of 81.5% is measured within 270mm misalignment. Overall, the proposed system structure and control method provides a practical method to overcome the main drawback incurred by misalignment, which is a significant efficiency drop outside the nominal operation point.
