Abstract
Inductive power transfer (IPT) is widely discussed for the automated opportunity charging of plug-in hybrid and electric public transport buses without moving mechanical components and reduced maintenance requirements. In this paper, the design of an on-board active rectifier and dc-dc converter for interfacing the receiver coil of a 50 kW/85 kHz IPT system is designed. Both conversion stages employ 1.2 kV SiC MOSFET devices for their low switching losses. For the dc-dc conversion, a modular, nonisolated buck+boost-type topology with coupled magnetic devices is used for increasing the power density. For the presented hardware prototype, a power density of 9.5 kW/dm 3 (or 156 W/in 3 ) is achieved, while the ac-dc efficiency from the IPT receiver coil to the vehicle battery is 98.6%. Comprehensive experimental results are presented throughout this paper to support the theoretical analysis.
