A continuous and reliable power supply is essential for ensuring the long-term, efficient operation of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs). Currently, the main methods for UUV power supply include battery replacement and cable power supply, both of which have drawbacks such as low safety, poor concealment, and low automation levels. Magnetically-Coupled Resonant Wireless Power Transfer (MCR-WPT) technology uses electromagnetic fields as the medium for power transmission, eliminating the need for plug-in connections. This significantly enhances the safety, reliability, and automation of underwater equipment power supply, providing a new solution for UUV power replenishment. The parameter identification of the coupling mechanism is crucial for the efficient power transmission and stable control of the Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system. However, due to the high conductivity of seawater, the MCR-WPT system in underwater environments generates eddy current losses during power transmission. Compared to air environments, the magnetic coupling mechanism's model parameters in underwater conditions are more complex and varied, making traditional parameter identification techniques based on air environments insufficient for identifying the multiple parameters of the coupling mechanism.
Therefore, this paper proposes a data-driven multi-parameter online identification strategy for underwater WPT systems. By pre-collecting data sets of coupling parameters and the input voltage of the receiver’s Buck circuit, and using the XGBoost algorithm to fit the nonlinear mapping function, the online and rapid identification of underwater WPT system coupling parameters can be achieved by measuring the DC input voltage of the receiver's Buck circuit during actual operation. This method not only effectively solves the problem of identifying multiple parasitic parameters caused by eddy current losses in underwater environments, but also provides a faster identification speed that better adapts to frequent disturbances caused by ocean currents, enabling quicker model parameter references for subsequent system control. Moreover, the proposed method only requires the collection of the DC voltage at the receiver end of the wireless power transmission system to achieve online parameter identification. This avoids interference from underwater bilateral communication delays and eliminates the need for high-frequency sampling modules, significantly saving hardware resources and improving system reliability. Additionally, the XGBoost algorithm used in this paper requires less data compared to traditional Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) algorithms, is more streamlined, and demonstrates better generalization capabilities, ensuring the system’s reliable application in seawater with varying conductivity.
Finally, an experimental platform for parameter identification of the underwater WPT system based on the XGBoost algorithm was built. The performance of the XGBoost algorithm was compared with the traditional ANN algorithm under different coil offset conditions. The results demonstrate that, with the same number of samples, the XGBoost algorithm outperforms the ANN algorithm in both identification accuracy and speed. Furthermore, the generalization ability of the XGBoost algorithm was validated in seawater environments with varying conductivity. Experimental results show that the XGBoost algorithm achieves a coupling parameter identification error of less than 4% under different offset conditions and seawater conductivity environments, with an average identification error of 1.93% and an average computation time of approximately 10 ms. This confirms that the XGBoost algorithm can accurately and quickly identify coupling parameters online.
