Abstract
To maximize the overall efficiency of a series-series inductive power transfer (SSIPT) system, the maximum efficiency tracking (MET) control should be employed. Based on a contactless current sensor which is designed for the mutual inductance estimation and the output voltage feedback, this paper proposes a novel MET control method for the SSIPT system with front-side and load-side converters. In this method, the output voltage of the rectifier on the load side is estimated and used as a control reference on the front side. Moreover, this paper analyzes the small-signal model of the SSIPT system and presents an impedance-based stability criterion. The factors which influence output feedback control are investigated, and a comprehensive control strategy based on the impedance stability criterion is developed. Finally, a 600 W prototype is built to validate the proposed method. MET control is implemented in a wide range of load variations, with a maximum efficiency drop of approximately 2.3% over a 100 mm misalignment. The results show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the robustness and response performance of the SSIPT system.
