An Impedance Decoupling-Based Tuning Scheme for Wireless Power Transfer System under Dual-Side Capacitance Drift
Journal article, 2021

High performance of a wireless power transfer system is related to the resonance. However, the capacitance drift caused by temperature variation leads to detuning. In this article, a tuning scheme against dual-side capacitance drift using the impedance decoupling algorithm is investigated. First, the impact of the capacitance drift on transmission efficiency and output power are analyzed. Second, it is difficult to compensate for the dual-side capacitance drift quickly since the primary and secondary sides are coupled. Therefore, the impedance decoupling algorithm is introduced. The primary and secondary reactances are decoupled from the total impedance. The two independent reactances are only determined by the capacitance drift of the corresponding side. Then, by adjusting system frequency and the phase-shift angle of the semiactive rectifier, the reactances of both sides can be eliminated, respectively. Compared with the existing tuning methods focusing on total input impedance, the continuous adjustment on two sides is avoided, so the tuning time is significantly reduced. The experimental results prove that the proposed method can improve the system efficiency by 5%-40% and reduce the tuning time by 67% under different capacitance drift.
