Design of Misalignment Tolerant Control for an Inductive Charger with V2G Possibilities

Since the power transfer efficiency in inductive power transfer (IPT) systems is directly related to the coupling of the transformer, coil misalignment can drastically decrease the efficiency. In this paper a misalignment tolerant control scheme is proposed which tracks the maximum power transfer efficiency point under misalignment. It does this...

Zero Voltage Switching Criteria of Triple Active Bridge Converter

Triple active bridge (TAB) as an isolated multiport converter is a promising integrated energy system for smart grids or electric vehicles. This article aims to derive and analyze zero voltage switching (ZVS) regions of TAB, in which both switching losses are reduced, and electromagnetic interference issues are mitigated. In the proposed...
