Abstract
In this paper, single-stage LCL inductive power transfer (IPT) system is proposed in low voltage vehicle charging applications to minimize the system complexity, and its reduced-order modeling and design approach is presented. To deal with the high-order resonant tank, the reduced-order methodology is applied throughout the paper, with which the behavior of resonant tank is investigated under multiple scales. Using the reduced-order time-domain model, the resonant waveform within switching period is accurately described with only one cycle's numerical computation. A novel parameter design principle for realizing ZVS condition and high averaged efficiency within full load range is then proposed and serves as parametric basis. Next, the low-order linear frequency-domain model is deduced using Extended Describing Function (EDF). It is found that six-order LCL-type system behaves as second-order underdamped system within frequency range of interest. Compared to existing models, the proposed reduced-order model features much more simplicity as it provides intuitive understanding into both steady and dynamic characteristic of the converter while facilitating the parameter and controller design. Through above work, the overall design consideration towards a single-stage LCL IPT system is elaborated. Finally, experimental results are given to verify accuracy of the models as well as the effectiveness of designed parameters and controller.
