Abstract
In this article, load-independent constant current/voltage control operations of an <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">LCC</i> -Series compensated wireless electrical vehicle (EV) chargers are presented. The parameters of the <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">LCC</i> -Series compensation topology are designed based on load-independent zero phase angle and soft switching operation in the constant current charging operation. Then, the load independent soft switching conditions are achieved for constant voltage charging operation with a semibridgeless active rectifier using pulse density modulation control. Thus, high efficiency power transfer to the load is performed during the entire charging period. The wireless communication is not needed to achieve the output voltage regulation in the proposed EV charging system. The soft switching operations of the switches on the primary and the secondary side are achieved in a wide load range. The performance of the proposed charging system is validated by a prototype. At the full load condition, the output voltage of the system is regulated at 210 V while the output current is 5 A. The maximum efficiency is measured 93.8% at 1 kW output power with 150 mm air gap. The efficiency performance of the system is also evaluated based on the misalignment conditions.
