Wireless Power Transfer Efficiency Optimization Tracking Method Based on Full Current Mode Impedance Matching
Abstract
Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is a contactless wireless energy transfer method with wide-ranging applications in fields such as smart homes, the Internet of Things (IoT), and electric vehicles. Achieving optimal efficiency in wireless power transfer systems has been a key research focus. In this paper, we propose a tracking method based on full current mode impedance matching for optimizing wireless power transfer efficiency. This method enables efficiency tracking in WPT systems and seamless switching between continuous conduction mode and discontinuous mode, expanding the detection capabilities of the wireless power transfer system. MATLAB was used to simulate the proposed method and validate its feasibility and effectiveness. Based on the simulation results, the proposed method ensures optimal efficiency tracking in wireless power transfer systems while extending detection capabilities, offering practical value and potential for widespread applications.
