Misalignment induces large variations in coupling coefficients between the primary and secondary sides of the coupler, resulting in proportionally large power fluctuations. The design uses a reversed coupled filter inductor to improve misalignment performance. Compared to previously proposed designs, the proposed LCC-P topology offers good performance, while reducing the size and complexity of the vehicle side coupler. Additionally, all the coils in the coupler are unipolar, further reducing the overall system complexity. A prototype is designed and constructed to validate the proposed solution. Experiments have achieved 3kW power transfer with 95.8% efficiency.","PeriodicalId":142939,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"31 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125703749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a design concept of modularized and reconfigurable MHz WPT is proposed to improve the system power level and design flexibility. With this method, the system requirements (power, efficiency and transfer distance) can be easily satisfied by the combination of modules. The design concept will be detailed explained through the analysis of the system architecture and the mathematical model. Finally, the influence of proximity effect and mutual inductance divergence achieves briefly analysis according to the simulation and test. And the modularized design concept is basically verified by the power and efficiency test results of four different combinations of UMs.","PeriodicalId":142939,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132536979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modules can also be connected in series on the load side, forming a Multi-Input Single-Output (MISO) system. A centralised Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller based on power and the voltage-dependent algorithm is designed to regulate the duty cycles of boost converters for dynamic maximum power tracking. Comprehensive simulations are conducted for both SISO and MISO configurations with two low power PV modules, and the results showed that each PV module could operate independently, and it is feasible to add the output voltages up on the load side for increased power transfer capability. The centralised controller adjusts the duty cycles of the connected PV modules smoothly, and a maximum power of 38.1W is achieved from two PV modules.","PeriodicalId":142939,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131226534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Generally, in a single-receiver WPT system, similar shapes (e.g. spiral) of the transmitting coil and the receiving coil help to improve the cross coupling. However, in multi-receiver cases, traditional spiral receiving coils limit the maximum number of receivers, and the coil coupling varies obviously as position changes. This paper proposes a hybrid coupler of a spiral transmitting (Tx) coil and solenoid receiving (Rx) coils, which can effectively increase the upper limit of the number of receivers, and is also suitable for some receivers with special shapes (e.g. tubular). In addition, a new design method for the impedance matching network (IMN) of MHz WPT systems, which improves the robustness of the systems when the number of receivers varies, is also proposed.","PeriodicalId":142939,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117008163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This can be used as a design criterion for an electrified road, where the installed primary coils have to be compatible to the vehicle coil. In this paper, the two SAE systems are compared to each other regarding the coupling factor stability with a compatible primary side for dynamic wireless charging, i. e., charging while in motion. Therefore, two coil designs have been built up in laboratory, each consisting of three identical primary air coil pads compatible with the corresponding SAE secondary side. The results indicate that the coupling factor for the double-D coil system shows lesser variation along the path than for the circular coil system, but the absolute coupling factor is greater for the circular coil system.","PeriodicalId":142939,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130505038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
