The intensive development of electric vehicles contributes to the advancement of charging systems for their batteries. One of the promising areas is wireless charging systems based on inductive power transfer. When developing such a wireless charging system, there is an issue of maximizing its efficiency where a major affecting factor is parameter optimization primarily the relation between inductances and capacitances of a resonant circuit of the wireless charging system.
This research is aimed at constraint efficiency optimization of wireless charging systems with LC-series compensating topology at a given resonant frequency and a given distance between transmitting and receiving coils. The constraints reflect dimensional restrictions on coils, required transferred power under an input voltage limit, and excess voltages on components. To reach the goal, the mathematical model of this system is used that assumes load as active resistance, no losses besides the ohm one, and the idealized inverter, rectifier, and power supply. Formulated in terms of the model the optimization criteria include the following four components: 1) the efficiency function ξ1 to be maximized; 2) the constraint function ξ2 determining the amount of transferred power to be lower limited; 3) and 4) the constraint functions ξ3 and ξ4 determining the excess voltage on the primary side capacitor and the secondary side capacitor respectively that to be upper limited. Using a frequency domain, the dependencies describing each component of the optimization criteria on the resonant circuit parameters of the wireless charging systems have been established. But the complexity of these dependencies has appeared to be too high to analytically reach the optimal solution. To circumvent this difficulty part of the resonant circuit parameters are thought of as constants in the given circumstance and are discarded. Next using Chebyshev polynomial approximation by the least-squares method, the dependencies between the rest of the parameters are obtained and these parameters in the description of the optimization criteria components are reduced to the coil inductance L. Further the dependencies ξ1(L)-ξ4(L) are compared with their boundary conditions. Thus, the resonant circuit parameters indicating the optimization criteria fulfillment have been theoretically obtained.
The presented constrained efficiency optimization has been experimentally validated using the specially-made wireless charging system for the electric truck ET-20132. To make the comparison between the experiments and the theory more adequate, some losses have additionally been estimated and considered. They are losses caused by the skin effect and losses in the transistors at the high-frequency inverter, in the diodes at the high-voltage bridge rectifier, and in the control schemes. The experiments vs theory comparison has shown their good convergence at the resonant frequency 91.3 kHz and acceptable deviations exteriorly the resonant frequency (the approximate frequency range less than 88 kHz and more than 96 kHz). The wireless charging system normally operates at the frequency range from 91.3 kHz up to 92.5 kHz where the experimental load current is convergent with the model which means all the required amount of power will be transferred. The smallest average experiments vs theory deviations are seen for voltages on the primary side capacitor and the secondary side capacitor, but these experimental values are mostly higher than in the model. The most sufficient experiments vs theory deviations are at the efficiency, and they are caused by the assumptions made in the mathematical model. However, the experimentally proven efficiency is 91%.
