H‐infinity loop shaping control of wireless power transfer system based on generalized state space averaging model

Abstract

SummaryThe transmission distance and the output load of wireless power transfer (WPT) system are particularly prone to change, which results in higher requirements for the robustness and dynamic performance of the control. In order to reduce the influence of these characteristics, an H∞ loop shaping controller based on generalized state space averaging (GSSA) method is proposed in this paper. Based on the GSSA model, an appropriate compensation function is constructed for the WPT system to the target loop transfer function. The nominal coprime factorization of WPT system is carried out, and on this basis, H∞ controller is achieved by Riccati equation to minimize the infinite norm from disturbance to error output. The designed controller meets the requirements of robust. Furthermore, the obtained high‐order controller is discretized by a reasonable discretization method, and the details and limitations of its practical application are discussed based on the hardware computational capacity. The experimental results show that the proposed controller has better robustness and dynamic performance and flexibility than the mixed sensitivity H∞ controller and the Z‐N PI controller.
