The majority of wireless power transfer (WPT) systems transfer power in a directional manner. Recently, omni-directional WPT systems have been addressed by several research groups. This paper describes a discrete exciting voltage control technique for wireless power transfer via magnetic resonant coupling with multiple orthogonal transmitter coils which can maximize the power transfer efficiency in...
This paper proposes spread spectrum methods to reduce radiation noise caused by an inductive power transfer (IPT) system. A noise reduction method with spread spectrum techniques has been proposed. The proposed noise reduction method randomly changes the output frequency of an inverter within a range of 79-to-90 kHz. Changing the output frequency, the radiation noise is spread in a frequency domain...
Multi-phase magnetically coupled resonant (MCR) wireless power transfer (WPT) technology, which can effectively reduce the limits of coils spatial locations on power transfer, has become one of the most promising technologies in the mid-range applications.

A maximum power point (MPP) tracking technique for electromagnetic energy harvesters is presented. The concept is based on using a bidirectional AC/DC converter to simultaneously counteract the effect of the output inductance and match the output resistance of the harvester, in order to perform maximum power transfer. The modulating signal for the AC/DC converter is generated by sensing and processing...

The resonant stability problems of LCL filter have become big challenges for grid-connected inverter in weak grid. This paper takes the effect of non-minimum phase time delay on the ratio between resonance frequency and sampling frequency into account and use it to design the LCL filter. Both LCL resonance frequency and inverter-side inductor and filter capacitor related L1C resonance frequency are...
Classical induction machine design generally focuses on achieving high steady state efficiency. In contrast, automotive applications consist of almost continuous transients, where the flux linkage is varied along the driving cycle to save energy. With conventional induction machines designed for high steady state efficiency, higher peak current and excessive machine losses can occur during the transient...
This paper proposes a power factor correction method of a non-resonant IPT system using a four-winding transformer. The proposed technique is applied to the IPT system with a dual active bridge converter to reduce conduction loss and winding loss. When two pairs of the primary-side and the secondary-side wires are connected in parallel, the low coupling coefficient between the wires driven by in-phase...

The control of PWM rectifiers under unbalanced network has become an important issue in recent years, especially in the applications with weak grid. Conventional methods is based on voltage oriented control (VOC), which requires several PI controllers in dual reference frame and the sequence extraction of grid/rectifier voltages and currents. To reduce the control complexity, recently direct power...
This paper analyzes an effect of voltage feedforward control in order to improve stability of BESS which is connected to diesel generator in stand-alone microgrid. In the stand-alone microgrid, BESS can be charged from the diesel generator when SOC of battery bank is insufficient, where BESS operates as CC-CV control. In this case, although LCL filter is designed to put a resonance point greater than...

To calculate the d-/q-axis stator-to-rotor mutual inductances considering the saturation and magnetic field distribution, two improved methods are developed, one using the product of the per-pole fundamental flux times the effective turns to get the mutual flux linkage; the other obtaining the mutual flux linkage from integral of the element magnetic potential in the range of corresponding winding...
Power transformers are an integral part of an isolated DC-DC converter with a high voltage ratio. An essential requirement of such a transformer design is to achieve a low leakage inductance for power transfer.
