In many outdoor inductive charging applications, the objects can move quickly, and the environment can change unpredictably. It is therefore difficult to design a fast controller that tracks the change in mutual coupling between the transmitter and receiver. The diminished power delivery to the objects either leads to incomplete charging or prolongs the charging time. In this paper, the concept of a zone impedance matching technique is proposed. This technique pre-matches the transmitter coil to the desired coupling coefficients. Thus, the power transfer capability of the inductive charger can be maintained at a reasonably high level over a long transmission distance and under a wide receiver misalignment. Based on a three-coil inductive power transfer (IPT) system, the proposed concept is practically implemented with a simple control scheme. The proposed IPT system equips a multi-tap transmitter coil to provide flexibility in selecting different numbers of turns in the transmitter coil. The controller senses the currents of the transmitter coil and the repeater coil to determine the zone of impedance to adapt to the change in mutual coupling of the coils. A mathematical analysis is conducted to formulate the design procedures for the proposed system. Under a wide range of distance and misalignment conditions, practical measurement results verified that the proposed system achieves higher power delivery than an ordinary design. |
