This paper compares four coil types: square, circular, rectangular, and bipolar, in terms of coupling coefficients, single-turn self-inductances, and maximum power capability varying with the coil width, airgap and misalignment. The coupling coefficients are only determined by the ratio of coil width and airgap over coil length and the coil type. The single-turn inductance increases linearly with the increasing coil length. For a small coil width and airgap, the bipolar coil has the largest coupling coefficient; for a large coil width and airgap, the square coil has the largest coupling coefficient. The maximum power capability of each coil is studied. High-power capability is normally unavailable in research laboratories of universities, so downscaled prototypes are implemented to verify the design. The downscaling principles for high-power wireless charging systems are investigated and discussed.","PeriodicalId":192132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128398622","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}

However, since the two power stages cause many number of components on the conduction path, it degrades the efficiency and power density of WPT system. Also, in the WPT system, because the communication control between transmitter and receiver side have to be used due to its physical contactless structure, the transmitter-side cannot effectively control receiver-side rectifier outputs. To relieve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a new receiver-side integrated regulator. The proposed structure is based on the general full-wave rectifier diode structure, and a single-switch is integrated for output voltage regulation with phase-shift control strategy. The proposed structure can reduce the number of components on the conduction path, resulting in high power density. Moreover, the proposed method can remove communication control with stable receiver-side outputs. Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify that the proposed structure and control method enables stable output voltage regulation without communication control between transmitter and receiver side. The effectiveness of the proposed structure and control method is verified by a prototype with input 380VDC and 150W output.","PeriodicalId":192132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133364419","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}

First of all, there is a single-coil structure with ferrite and shielding. The quality factor $Q$ of the coil increases with distance. The second and third structures are systems with two coils but without shielding. In addition to the $Q$ factors, the product of the coupling factors $k$ and $Q$ are also examined here. In the last setup, the kQ product increases in addition to the $Q$ factor. The additional distance between the ferrites and the coil thus leads to a higher efficiency of the system.","PeriodicalId":192132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132597482","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 parameter design methodology based on voltage/current stress optimization is proposed for LCCL-LC compensated MCR WPT systems. By designing the resonant frequency and the self-inductance of two coils properly, the voltage/current stress of the components are effectively controlled.

Existing MHz WPT systems mostly focus on static scenarios. But in real applications, many systems require dynamic charging and it is desirable to achieve longest charging distance with fewer number of transmitting coils. In this paper, super capacitor (SC) is added to the receiving side as an energy buffer. SC stores energy when the coupling is strong, and releases energy when the coupling is weak. In a certain range, a larger capacitance lead to a higher distance between transmitting coil which can significantly reduce the construction cost. However, excessive capacitance of the SC will increase the weight and volume of the system which will reduce the receiver power density. Therefore, this paper uses genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the pole spacing between two adjacent transmitting coils and capacitance of SC. A set of optimized parameters was selected for simulation verification. Simulation results match well with the theoretical analysis, which implies that compared to the dynamic WPT system without SC, the SC buffered WPT system can effectively increase power density and decrease construction cost.","PeriodicalId":192132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127374319","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 the three-level inverters, the DC-link is divided into two capacitors to create the neutral-point (NP). The split DC-link capacitors induce a drawback which is AC unbalance between each DC-link voltage of capacitors. To mitigate this drawback, VSVPWM was widely researched. The VSVPWM controls AC ripple component of the NP voltage to zero within one switching period. However, VSVPWM does not consider the NP ripple current and CMV. The NP current equals to the sum of each capacitor currents. Its large ripple component increases the core temperature in capacitor, which reduces the lifespan of the DC-link capacitors. Additionally, CMV with a large peak-to-peak value generates the electro-magnetic interference issues and leakage current. In this paper, an optimized VSVPWM for suppressing the capacitor ripple current and the variation of CMV is proposed. The effectiveness and validity of the modified VSVPWM are verified with various simulation results.","PeriodicalId":192132,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)","volume":"20 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113979077","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}
