  • Modeling and Analysis of Inductive Power Transfer System With Passive Matrix Power Repeater
    IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, 2019
    Co-Authors: Rong Hua
    Abstract:

    This paper presents a detailed modeling and analysis of an inductive Power transfer (IPT) system with a passive Matrix Power repeater. A high-order mathematical model is established to characterize the output Power by taking all the mutual inductances among the primary, secondary, and the unit cells of Matrix Power repeaters into considerations. The model is used to analyze the relationship between the output Power and the operating frequency of an IPT system with a 3 × 3 Matrix Power repeater. The study shows the optimal operating frequencies corresponding to maximum and minimum Power transfer exist owing to the interactions among the magnetic fields generated by the primary current and induced currents of the unit cells of the Matrix Power repeater. The theoretical optimal frequencies for obtaining the maximum and minimum output Power are determined by numerical analysis based on the proposed model, and they are verified by circuit simulation and experimental study within an error of 2%. The results are useful for Power flow controller design with enhanced and reduced Power regulation range.

  • The effect of Matrix Power repeaters on magnetic field distribution of IPT systems
    2017 IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE), 2017
    Co-Authors: Rong Hua, Ho Fai Leung
    Abstract:

    Matrix Power repeaters (MPRs) have been used in high frequency radio systems for enhancing the signal propagation, as well as wireless Power transfer systems for extending the Power transfer range. However, their effect on the magnetic field distribution of inductive Power transfer (IPT) systems is still not clear. This paper presents both the positive and negative effects of MPRs for enhancing or reducing the magnetic field coupling in IPT systems. The magnetic field generated by the primary coil and MPRs of an IPT system has been investigated, and the relationship between the effective permeability of a typical MPR and the system operating condition is analysed. A CST (Computer Simulation Technology) model has been set up to simulate the magnetic field distribution, which has also been experimentally verified. Both simulation and experimental results have shown that the magnetic field is enhanced when the system operating frequency is below a critical frequency where the effective permeability of MPRs is −1, and reduced when the system operating frequency is above this critical frequency.

  • Enhancing wireless Power transfer capability of inductive Power transfer system using Matrix Power repeater
    2017 IEEE 12th International Conference on Power Electronics and Drive Systems (PEDS), 2017
    Co-Authors: Rong Hua, Bo Long
    Abstract:

    Matrix Power repeaters (MPRs) with multiple unit cells have been successfully used in far field radio systems for concentrating electromagnetic waves. However, their effects on the field distribution in non-radiative near field wireless Power transfer systems are not well understood. This paper is to propose a new method for enhancing the wireless Power transfer capability of Inductive Power transfer (IPT) systems using MPRs. A system model is established by considering the contributions of each individual unit cell of a typical MPR, which is used to analyze the Power transfer performance of an IPT system. A critical condition in relation to the mutual inductances between the primary/ secondary coils and MPR individual coils is determined, which defines the boundary between enhancing and reducing the Power transfer of an IPT system. A practical MPR is built and tested to meet the Power transfer enhancement condition, and experimental results show that the output Power of an IPT system is increased by 34.4%.
