An experimental prototype of the three-phase resonant inverter was built and connected with wireless power link and rectifier. The hybrid phase-frequency control strategy was implemented and compared with frequency control at the output power up to 10 kW. The experimental results show that the proposed inverter can operate within the desired frequency range with high efficiency while regulating output from zero to maximum.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"127 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134159149","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 order to mitigate the high voltage induced in the power transmitting coil due to the low coupling coefficient to the receiving resonator, the effect of operation frequency is studied, resulting in the choice of lower frequency. So as to comply with the EMC problems, electric/magnetic field distributions are measured being compared with ICNIRP recommendation.

A model of the plane wave behaviour of the structure is compared to simulation and the performance of the AMC compared to other shielding solutions, in an IPT scenario.

Most systems operate essentially as resonant converters with the couplers (primary and secondary windings) and matching networks absorbed into the tank circuit of a resonant converter topology. As in a well-designed resonant converter, the currents in the couplers are quasi-sinusoidal. The extraneous electromagnetic field of such a system viewed in the frequency domain naturally includes a strong contribution at the fundamental frequency. However, it also necessarily includes components due to rectifier harmonics and short-time-scale ringing both in the inverter and rectifier circuits. We examine the relationship between the primary and secondary coupler currents and the extraneous electromagnetic field. It is seen that the electromagnetic field at some distance from the system has a spectral character markedly different from that of the primary and secondary currents. This is due to the fact that the induction and radiation fields of magnetic multipoles (predominantly dipole and quadrupole) depend not only on the associated magnetic moments but also on frequency. While the static fields depend directly on moment which, in turn, depends on current magnitude, the quasi-static induction and the radiation fields depend on the product of moment and a non-zero power of frequency.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"473 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124768326","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}

A receiver-side switching voltage regulator is useful for output voltage regulation, but it cannot be utilized with a DC-DC converter dedicated to conventional maximum efficiency point tracking (MEPT). As an MEPT method compatible with a switching voltage regulator and basically without feedback information, we propose MEPT by input control to make the switching voltage regulator undertake the role of the DC-DC converter of a conventional MEPT. To enable the proposed MEPT, we propose two additional essential technologies. One is a system design to remove the instability caused by a switching voltage regulator at the maximum efficiency point. The other is the activation timing of a switching voltage regulator to reach a stable point. Measurements using a 0-Ω power source and a K-inverter validate the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":194427,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121812995","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}
