Design-Oriented Modeling of a Current-Fed Transmitter for Large-Scale Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer

Abstract:

Dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) systems are obtaining increased attention for the benefits of reducing anxiety associated with range, charging, and battery pack size, and significantly facilitating transportation electrification. A new system structure with transmitters series-connected for largescale DWPT systems employing a novel current-fed transmitter design has been proposed to achieve reliable, efficient, and costeffective system operation. This paper presents a new designoriented modeling approach for the current-fed transmitter, providing a comprehensive understanding of the CLC compensation network used in the transmitter design and offering insights into the component stresses within the transmitter topology for design optimization. The proposed methodology simplifies analysis and facilitates the optimal design of such a new currentfed transmitter. Hardware results from a 1 kW transmitter prototype validate the effectiveness of the proposed designoriented modeling approach.
