Power Injection and Free Resonance Decoupled Wireless Power Transfer System with Double-Switch

Abstract

This article presents a type of power injection and free resonance decoupled wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the double-switch independent power injection and free resonance wireless power transfer (IPIFR-WPT) system working in CCM. Based on the stroboscopic mapping model, the theoretical results show that the operation point of the proposed WPT system is determined by itself instead of the switching control strategy. Specifically, once the voltage on the primary capacitance does not decrease to the input voltage in the free-resonance process, the diode in series would not turn on and the system would not switch to the power injection process. Therefore, there is a wide soft-switching margin to ensure the system operating in soft-switching states. Another characteristic of the proposed WPT system is the monotonicity between output power and operation cycle, which presents a simple power control method. And since the soft-switching margin may have intersection under dynamic coupling coefficient, the proposed system maintains soft-switching states with a fixed switching strategy and presents advantage to resist the dynamic change of coupling coefficient. All the characteristics of the proposed WPT system mentioned above have been verified in both theory and experiment.
