Description
Summary:In this paper, a novel three-phase converter is proposed for ac to dc wireless power transfer (WPT) systems for electric vehicle (EV) charging applications. The proposed innovative solution, called as Oak Ridge Converter, reduces the design complexity and cost by eliminating the front-end converter stage compared to the conventional systems. Additionally, grid side requirements can be met with the proposed creative concept. In this concept, the three-phase single-stage Oak Ridge Converter directly converts the 60 Hz grid frequency into high-frequency voltage and utilizes hybrid grid-source and high-frequency to realize power transfer from AC source through resonant network and coupling coils to the battery load. Simulation validation of the proposed three-phase system is currently being carried on and the results will be will be provided to validate the theoretical studies with the input of 277 V AC,RMS and output of 675 V DC at 35 kW power. The system current total harmonic distortion (THD) is measured 5% with a power factor (PF) of 0.98 and overall hardware development of the system that will be used for experiments is presented.
