Abstract

In the context of implementing dynamic wireless power transfer (DWPT) in electric vehicles (EVs), the mutual inductance of the magnetic coupler is continuously changing. Therefore, a controller with enough dynamic response is required to ensure the utilization of the energy transfer capacity and stability. In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC) approach with variable step-size and optimization-point-number is proposed to balance the dynamic response speed, steady-state error and computational burden of the system. The dynamics of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system is modeled and the boundary conditions for the zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) implementation are derived. The rules for the selection of step-size and optimization-point-number are established and it is worth noting that the variance of the output power is introduced as a basis for judgment, which greatly accelerates the convergence rate near the steady state. Finally, the simulation actively verifies the feasibility of the proposed controller.
