Enhancing Misalignment Tolerance in Inductive Power Transfer System to Maintain Stable Power Transfer and Improve the Efficiency for Battery Charging

Abstract:   (1312 Views)
This paper proposes an inductive power transfer (IPT) system to maintain stable power transfer and improve efficiency for battery charging performance across a wide range of coupling coefficient variations. The proposed IPT system uses series-series (S-S) and series-inductor-capacitor-inductor (S-LCL) compensation. In both compensation configurations, the rectifier operates in half-bridge (HB) and full-bridge (FB) modes. By using the correct switching pattern between compensation networks and the rectifier, four transfer power-coupling coefficient (P-k) curves are created. A 400 W prototype simulated in MATLAB demonstrates that, with the proposed method, output power fluctuation is limited to only 3% for coupling coefficients varying from 0.1 to 0.4, with system efficiency ranging from 80% to 95.9%. Compared to other methods, the proposed structure provides stable power transfer over an ultra-wide coupling variation and does not require special coil design, clamp circuit design, or complex control.
Keywords: Inductive Power Transfer (IPT), transfer power-coupling coefficient (P-k), Misalignment Tolerance, Power Fluctuation, Coupling Variation.
