Load Segment Tracking Control of IPT System Based on Power Efficiency Optimization

Abstract

In the induction electric energy transmission system applied to fix point charging of vehicles, the mutual inductance change caused by position deviation or air gap change, and the equivalent load change caused by power demand change will make the output power and efficiency fluctuate, thus affecting the output stability of the system. In order to ensure the reliability of the charging process of the system and at the same time have a strong power output capacity, this paper proposes a load segmental tracking control strategy based on the optimal power efficiency. This control strategy adjusts the equivalent load to track different power efficiency indicator curves according to different mutual inductance states of the system and power demand when the vehicle is static charging, so that it can always maintain the optimal power efficiency state according to different charging conditions and improve the system performance. Finally, simulation and experimental verification are carried out under different states of mutual inductance. The results show that this method can achieve the equivalent load segmental tracking under different mutual inductance states, and always maintain the optimal power efficiency output.
