Abstract

This paper presents a technique to control the output voltage of a series-parallel (SP) topology inductive power transfer (IPT) system using only a controller, located on the primary side. This reduces the cost, size, complexity and loss of the system compared to conventional IPT dual-side controllers. An asymmetrical duty cycle control (ADC) of full-bridge inverters was used to control the DC output voltage to its designed value. Additionally, a zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation can be obtained at all power levels by varying the switching frequency of the inverter. Theoretical analysis was performed through a mutual inductance coupling model and verified by computer simulation. Experimental results of the circular magnetic structure IPT system with an adjustable air-gap confirm the validity of the proposed controller. The system efficiency was improved throughout the operation and the improvement became obvious as the output power was decreased.
