Self-Commissioning Wireless Power Transfer: A New Control Paradigm

By Yun Yang

This accessible guide describes the design and implementation of new front-end monitoring and control strategies for wireless power transfer (WPT). The new control paradigm moves all receiver-side controllers to the transmitter side to enable multiple advantages over conventional designs.

Self-Commissioning Wireless Power Transfer: A New Control Paradigm provides readers with information in three areas. First, it discusses a series of front-end monitoring and control strategies for WPT. The new technologies are designed at the transmitter side, while no control is needed at the receiver side. In addition, no communication is required between the transmitter and the receiver. Implementing this change will enable engineers to make the receiver more compact, reliable, and cost-effective and enhance the overall efficiency of the system as the main power circuits of the WPT system, auxiliary power supplies of controllers, and protection circuits can be significantly reduced. Second, it presents designs for new control strategies in achieving maximum efficiency transfer and minimum charging time, along with precise modeling of battery loads and other power electronic components throughout the charging process. Third, it illustrates how new control methodologies integrate with other technologies for compatibility in industrial applications. Throughout, this book illustrates its descriptions of the technologies and designs with real-world case studies and analysis.

Researchers working on WPT technologies in academia and industry will benefit immensely from the discussions presented in this book. Graduate students aiming to increase their knowledge on control schemes for power converters at the transmitter side and primary-side control for transmitter-side inverters will also find it valuable.
