Abstract

Bidirectional Inductive Power Transfer (BD-IPT) is a promising technology that plays a significant role in specific scenarios such as vehicle-to-grid/home/vehicle systems. However, the BD-IPT system requires frequency synchronization between primary and secondary sides. Some researchers utilize a dedicated wireless communication interface to get the synchronization tracking information. But this solution will increase the cost and complexity while decrease the robustness and universality of the system. Therefore, this paper proposes a synthesizer PLL based frequency tracking technique for the BD-IPT system without adopting any communications. Specifically, the proposed controller includes two closed-loops, which decide and calculate the details of the active power, respectively. A proposed synthesizer PLL, which includes the phase detector, low-pass filter and voltage-controlled oscillator, is designed to generate an accurate synchronization signal. Also, the entire system operates in a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) state to achieve the high efficiency. Finally, a 120 W experimental prototype is built to verify the correctness feasibility of the whole system.
