Abstract
Multitransmitter wireless power transfer system gets more and more applications as it can maintain high efficiency in a large space range. This article focuses on modeling the multitransmitter system, and proposes an impedance matching method to improve efficiency under lateral-misalignment conditions. The theoretical analysis shows that the maximum transfer efficiency can be achieved as long as the equivalent input impedance of the transmitters is regulated to be the same under misalignment condition. Hence, a double closed-loop control strategy is proposed to realize maximum efficiency point tracking, where the primary control loop adjusts the input impedance of the transmitters through pulsewidth modulation, while the second control loop maintains constant output power by a dc–dc converter. A 500-W prototype is built to validate the feasibility of the proposed method. The efficiency is always higher than 90% with an improvement of up to 20.3% compared to that without such a method when the lateral misalignment increases from 0 to 10 cm (0%–41% of maximum coil size).
