- Abstract
- Traditional wireless power transfer (WPT) systems usually adopt the triple-phase-shift control method to maintain a constant output voltage, track the maximum system efficiency point (MEPT), and achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operation for various applications. However, these three targets are achieved at the cost of high reactive power on both primary and secondary sides, especially under light-load conditions, leading to low efficiency. This has become one of the challenges that hinder a further deployment of WPT technologies in practice. To address this vital problem, in this article, how the reactive power lowers the system efficiency is revealed based on a mathematical model established. Then, a hybrid modulation control strategy based on a proper selection between the full-bridge and half-bridge modes of the inverter and active rectifier is developed. An experimental prototype is constructed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce the reactive power, maintain a constant output voltage, and realize the MEPT and ZVS operation, with high efficiencies up to 94.29% in a wide load range. © 1982-2012 IEEE.
