Abstract
Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is commonly used to transmit power from a transmitting coil to various movable power devices. In the WPT system, due to a resonant tank inherent characteristic, the system cannot achieve a high output voltage gain. This paper proposes a novel current-fed push–pull circuit to realize high output voltage gain by adding a bi-directional switch between the resonant network and inverter. To obtain a high voltage gain, this paper proposes energy storage and energy injection mode to realize an energy boost function. A duty cycle control method for mode switching is also proposed. The proposed method allows the converter to operate with a variable voltage gain over a wide range with high efficiency. Experimental validation shows that the system gain of a proposed circuit can achieve a variable gain from 2 to 7 of which the converter can be two times higher than the classical system with the same condition.
Highlights
The Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system as a novel technology can realize power wireless transmission from power supply to electrical equipment with the aid of magnetic coupling
More and more applications in WPT technology require low DC voltage input and high voltage output. These applications include the Photovoltaic (PV) system, battery power supply system and Universal Serial Bus (USB) powered devices. It is not easy for the WPT system to obtain high voltage gain according to the following reasons—first, due to the WPT system being a weakly coupling system with very low coupling coefficient k [7,8] and the coupling coefficient of transformer can almost reach 1
The second reason is the inherent characteristic of the resonant network
