Operating point setting method for wireless power transfer with constant voltage load

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) has been widely researched in many application fields. Typical application to vehicle field is wireless charging for electric vehicles while parking and driving. Some power conversion circuit structures and its control method have been proposed in previous researches, for example, transmitting power control and efficiency maximizing control using a secondary-side DC-DC converter. However, selection method of optimal circuit structure for desired control is not clear. In this research, we propose generalized power conversion circuit structure on Series-Series compensated WPT circuit. Load current and power transfer efficiency are analyzed using equivalent AC resistance model about WPT circuit with constant voltage load. Then, we formulate operation points for desired control with consideration for operating condition.
