Abstract

Performance of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system relies on the physical dimensions of the coupled coil, which should be optimally designed to meet required system performance and reduce the operating cost. This paper presents an optimal design based on genetic algorithm (GA) for the transmitter coil used in wireless power transfer system. Physical parameters of the circular flat spiral coil, including wire’s cross-sectional area, coil’s inner diameter, coil’s outer diameter, coil’s turn number, and space between each turn of the coil are considered. The design objective is to minimize the total wire length required by the coil subjected to both linear and nonlinear constraints. The design process is implemented on MATLAB optimization toolbox which is simple and accurate. The validity of proposed optimal coil design is verified by the experiment, which indicates that total wire length of the optimized coil can be reduced by 5.5 percent compared to the conventional coil without sacrificing the system performance. System efficiency obtained from the optimized coil can be improved up to 8.32 percent.

Abstract

The output voltage of capacitive power transfer (CPT) system will change if the load resistance is varied. This paper presents a method to regulate the output voltage using a controller that is located on the primary side, known as the primary side control technique. It does not require any additional components and wireless feedback, which lowers the cost and complexity of CPT system compared to the conventional control technique. Instead of directly measuring the output voltage on secondary side, it is estimated through the measured capacitor voltage on primary side. Modified sine wave control of the full-bridge inverter is adopted to regulate the output voltage. The proposed control technique is validated by the simulation via PSIM software using the practical parameters of capacitive coupler presented in the literature. Simulation results of the output voltage control against the step change in desired output voltage and load resistance indicate the performance of proposed control technique.
