UAV-WPT System Based on Novel Magnetic Structure and Model Predictive Control

Abstract

In this paper, a UAV-WPT based on a new orthogonal coupling structure is first designed. An offset weight method is proposed to optimize the design of the system resonance parameters to improve the power transmission efficiency in the offset state. The coupling mechanism’s coupling ability and anti-offset performance are experimented with using Ansys software simulation. The system adopts LCC-S topology and proposes a secondary side constant current control strategy based on the model prediction control to ensure constant current output in the case of coupling coefficient deviation. Finally, an experimental platform is designed for experiments. The results show that the system can quickly realize 3A constant current output under the change of load and coupling coefficient, and at the same time, improve the working efficiency of the system.
