Abstract

In this paper, the capacitive power transfer (CPT) technology is used as an alternative to inductive power transfer (IPT). CPT relies on electric fields that are not sensitive to the presence of any metals, utilizes metal electrodes for power transfer, and is less bulky compared to IPT. The proposed CPT system utilizes a Class-E resonant inverter with a double-sided inductor-capacitor (LC) matching circuit which operates at an optimum load, with a duty cycle, D=0.5 to gain an output power, W and efficiency, η=84.6%. The proposed CPT system enhances the system’s efficiency as compared to the past research while preserving the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) condition within a wider load range from 50 Ω to 1,316 Ω. This paper also shows that the proposed CPT system is less sensitive to load and coupling variations. Finally, the rate of power dissipated at varied load resistances, has been derived successfully to determine the sensitivity level of the proposed CPT systems toward load variations. These equations are then validated by plotting the efficiency graphs based on load and coupling variations.

Abstract

This work aims to present an innovative design and simulation of an auto-tuning capacitive power transfer (CPT) system. The system utilizes a Class-E converter, renowned for its exceptional efficiency. Challenges arise when trying to regulate the output voltage of a Class-E converter in the presence of load fluctuations, leading to an escalation in switching losses. By employing first harmonic approximation (FHA) and generalized state space averaging (GSSA), a state-space model of the system is constructed to effectively address this problem. The output voltage is regulated by a state feedback controller developed using the Lyapunov approach. This paper presents a comparative analysis of a traditional PID controller and a recently suggested state feedback controller, with a primary emphasis on system stabilization. The study examines the similarities and differences between the two controllers. The efficacy of the proposed controller design is demonstrated through the utilization of simulation data. Furthermore, these results confirm the validity of the comparative study, making it a substantial contribution to the field of CPT systems.
