Modeling and Control of Series–Series Compensated Inductive Power Transfer System

In this paper, a T-equivalent circuit for loosely coupled transformer, which does not involve magnetic coupling, is presented. A detailed dynamic analysis based on extended describing function technique is presented for a series–series compensated inductive power transfer system. The continuous-time large-signal model, the steady-state operating point, and the small-signal model are derived in an analytical closed-form. This model includes both the frequency and the phase-shift control. Simulation and experimental verification results of the derived models are presented to validate the presented analysis.
