Abstract.A novel Inductive Contactless Energy Transfer (ICET) system is presented in this paper. The energy is transferred using a rotatable air gap transformer and a power electronic converter. To minimize total losses of the system a series resonant circuit is applied, assuring zero current switching condition for IGBT power transistors. The analytical expression of the transfer dc voltage gain is given and discussed. The developed ICET system is characterized by high efficiency and fast FPGA based controller and protection system. The resonant frequency is adjusted by extreme regulator which follows instantaneous value of primary peak current. Simulated and experimental results which verify and illustrate operation of developed 3 kW laboratory model are presented.
Abstract. In the paper a bi-directional power electronic interface based on an inductive coupled contactless energy transfer system for plug-in vehicles with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability is presented. To minimize the total losses of the system, a series resonant compensation circuit is applied assuring Near to Zero-Current Switching (N2ZCS) condition for insulated-gate bipolar transistors. The analytical expression of the dc voltage and current gains as well as energy transfer efficiency is given and discussed. The system uses modified FPGA based integral control method adjusting resonant frequency and guarantees very fast and stable operation. Simulation and experimental results illustrating properties of the developed 40-60kHz switching frequency operated 15kW laboratory prototype are presented.
