Description
Summary:Wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted a lot of attention these years due to its convenience, safety, reliability, and weather proof features. First and foremost, the consistency of mutual model and T model of loosely coupled transformer (LCT) was deduced. The application scenarios of these two models were then concluded so as to choose suitable model in circuit analysis. Then, a new WPT compensation topology, which is referred to as LC /S compensation topology and consists of one inductor and two capacitors, is proposed. The constant-current-output (CCOut) characteristic of the newly proposed topology is analyzed in detail on the basis of the discussion about LC and CL resonant tank. The equivalent resistance of the rectifier, filter, and resistor circuit is also analyzed to simplify circuit analysis. Then, the current and voltage stress on each component and the system performance under imperfect resonant condition are studied with the help of MATLAB. The LCT is deliberately designed by the finite element analysis software ANSYS Maxwell as well because the coupling coefficient, primary, and secondary self-inductance have a significant impact on system efficiency, power level, and density. The LCT design approach employed in this paper can be extended to magnetic design of almost all WPT systems. Theoretical analyses are verified by both Pspice simulation and practical experiments. Practical output currents with transient loads show an excellent CCOut characteristic of LC/S compensation topology.
