A Real-Time Maximum Efficiency Tracking for Wireless Power Transfer Systems Based on Harmonic-Informatization

With the increased requirements of dynamic wireless charging scenarios, the industry puts forward higher technical specifications for system efficiency. However, the traditional millisecond level response time cannot meet the requirements of dynamic maximum efficiency tracking (MET) system for real-time control. Therefore, this article proposes a wireless power transfer system based on harmonic-informatization, which simplifies the circuit through the harmonic and bandstop filter, so that the mutual inductance can be extracted by harmonic, and then MET can be implemented in real time. Compared with the traditional fundamental system, the harmonic-informatization system has the advantages of no iteration, no communication, and simple calculation. Because the operation of MET under harmonic is simple, the experimental system in this article successfully achieves the microsecond level response time. At the same time, the experiment shows that the system efficiency and power change little after adding the filter, which is due to the low equivalent reactance of the filter under the fundamental.
