Abstract
Multi-phase magnetically coupled resonant (MCR) wireless power transfer (WPT) technology can fulfill the requirements of time-varying spatial positions of loads in mid-range applications, as it can generate a rotating magnetic field around sending coils, and effectively reduce the limits of spatial positions on transfer characteristics including output power and transfer efficiency. Nevertheless, the design of coils parameters and control strategies put a great influence on the realistic transfer characteristics, which should be considered elaborately in practice. In this paper, a three-phase MCR WPT system with cylinder-shaped coils is investigated, the equivalent circuit model is built to carry out the theoretical analysis. Based on that, the influence on zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) conditions of power switches and the output power of the system, resulting from different phase-shifted angles between each phase, coil turns and angular misalignments of the receiving coil, is analyzed comprehensively. Detailed discussions on relationships among coil turns, the angular misalignment, ZVS conditions, and the output power are completed under different phase-shifted angles. Furthermore, the parametric optimization of coil turns, as well as phase-shifted angles, are proposed to ensure the power switches realize ZVS and ensure the system realize stable output power within the full range of angular misalignment. Finally, experiments are carried out to evaluate the accuracy of theoretical analysis and confirm the validity of the proposed optimal design.
