A Novel Method of Wireless Power Transfer Identification and Resonance Decoupling Based on Frequency Hopping Communication

Abstract

Aiming at the risk of electricity theft of wireless power transfer (WPT) technology due to its untargeted and non-directional characteristics, a novel method of identification and resonance decoupling based on frequency hopping communication is proposed. The basic principle of the identification method is to make the resonant frequency of transmitter coil and receiver coil jump synchronously and randomly according to the pseudo-random code sequence, which can identify the load in single-source single-user mode and single-source multi-user mode respectively by calculating energy consumption ratio. And if user is illegal, then the resonant frequency of system jumps randomly to cut off the power, which is named resonance decoupling. The experimental circuit is designed on the basis of theoretical analysis and the method is verified. The test results are consistent with theoretical analysis, which has proved the validity of the method. This paper not only provides a solution to the power management of WPT system, but also is a support for the measurement of electricity, moreover, it is conducive to the further application and promotion of WPT technology.
