Single-Stage Wireless-Power-Transfer Resonant Converter With Boost Bridgeless Power-Factor-Correction Rectifier

Wireless power transfer (WPT) has drawn more and more attention and has many applications, such as wireless electric vehicle charging systems, which require high power, high efficiency, and high power factor. In this paper, a single-stage WPT resonant converter with bridgeless boost power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifier is proposed to improve efficiency and power quality of line input, and reduce production cost and complexity for high-power WPT system. The bridgeless single-stage topology is creatively proposed to apply in WPT system, which is much more advantageous than conventional two-stage WPT converter with individual boost PFC stage.
