Abstract
It is ideal for the wireless power transfer (WPT) systems to operate at the resonance state for better transmission performance. In practice, however, the parameters of the resonant circuits often deviate because of the capacitance drift and coil misalignment. To this end, this paper proposes a new parameter estimation method for the WPT systems, which is able to facilitate the power flow control and active impedance tuning of the WPT systems under parameter deviations. Distinct from the traditional parameter identification methods, the proposed method is implemented with an short-circuited rectifier, and therefore, the whole estimation process is independent of the load variations. Furthermore, to avoid severe system detuning during the frequency-sweeping process, a dynamic frequency sweeping method is proposed to efficiently and safely extract the data of the primary and secondary coil currents. Based on the extracted data, a mathematical model is established, and the JAYA algorithm is utilized to identify the unknown parameters. Experimental results are presented to verify the estimation accuracy of the proposed method.
