Definitions

  • the invention relates to the transmission of electrical energy by means of resonant induction. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of wireless transmission that provides a near unity power factor, low harmonic distortion load at the line connection point without employing specific power factor correction circuitry. Instead, the apparatus described herein provides a low harmonic distortion, near unity power factor without the need for a specific power factor correction stage thereby reducing component cost, apparatus size, and power conversion losses.
  • Inductive power transmission has many important applications spanning many industries and markets. Although the disclosure contained here contemplates the use of this invention to applications requiring relatively high power (in excess of 100 watts), the potential list of power applications is not limited and this invention can be applied to a wide range of power requirements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conceptual representation of a prior art resonant inductive power transmission system 10.
  • a source of alternating, line frequency electrical energy is provided on AC line 12 and converted into direct current with a line frequency rectifier 14 and shunt capacitor ripple filter 16.
  • a DC- AC inverter 18 converts the direct current energy into high frequency alternating current which is applied by means of a resonating network 20 to the primary side induction coil 22.
  • Typical operating frequencies are in the range of 15-50 kHz.
  • Magnetic coupling between the primary side induction coil 22 and the secondary side induction coil 24 transfers primary side energy to the secondary side where it is rectified by high frequency rectifier 26, ripple filtered by ripple filter 28 and used to charge a remotely located battery 30.
  • a resonating network 32 resonates the secondary side induction coil 24 thereby enabling maximum current flow and maximum energy transfer.
  • the nature of the load presented to the AC line connection in the circuit of Figure 1 is determined by the line rectifier - shunt ripple filter capacitor combination.
  • the line rectifier current is zero unless the instantaneous rectified line voltage exceeds the shunt capacitor voltage. This means that the rectifier current is not sinusoidal but is instead a narrow pulse that occurs just before the line voltage sinusoid reaches its maximum value. Because the rectifier current is a narrow pulse instead of a sinusoid, it contains considerable harmonic content.
  • the associated line frequency harmonic currents are harmful to electric power distribution components and also to other loads connected to the distribution system and are for that reason restricted to low amplitude by utility or government regulation.
  • the power factor correction stage 34 shown in Figure 2 consists of a DC-to-DC boost converter although buck and boost-buck converters topologies can be employed as well.
  • a shunt switching device depicted in Figure 2 as a shunt field effect transistor 36 controls inductor current and therefore AC line current by means of pulse duration. When the shunt transistor 36 is on, inductor current ramps up at a rate proportional to the instantaneous rectified line voltage. Energy stored in the inductor 38 is dumped into the shunt filter capacitor 16 through the series diode 40 when the shunt transistor 36 turns off.
  • a control circuit 42 monitors the rectified line current and continuously adjusts the transistor conduction intervals such that the rectified line current remains proportional to the line voltage. In this way, the line frequency rectifier current is made to be half-cycle sinusoidal and proportional to the line voltage amplitude, harmonic distortion is forced to zero, the power factor is forced to unity, and the DC-AC inverter supply voltage is held essentially constant.
  • the invention addresses the above mentioned limitations of the prior art by changing the operating parameters of the resonant induction wireless power apparatus so that it intrinsically provides a low harmonic distortion, near unity power factor line load without the need of an additional energy conversion power factor correction.
  • the post-rectifier, line frequency ripple filter, and shunt capacitor of conventional circuits are eliminated and the DC-to- AC inverter is powered not by smoothed, constant value DC voltage but by a half-sinusoidal voltage derived from the full wave rectification of the line sinusoid.
  • the envelope of the high frequency rectangle wave developed by the DC-AC inverter is no longer constant but varies continuously in a half- sinusoidal fashion.
  • the conventional transmission coil pair is combined with resonating capacitors with values specifically selected such that the resonant transmission coil pair becomes a resonant impedance inverter having 90 degrees of transmission phase shift that forces the system load current magnitude, and therefore the AC line current, to be proportional and in phase with the AC line voltage, thus ensuring near unity AC load power factor and low AC line harmonic current content.
  • a rectifier rectifies the transmission frequency sinusoid.
  • a post-rectifier filter removes the inverter frequency ripple and delivers line frequency, half-sinusoid current to the constant DC voltage load.
  • the current delivered to the load is the sum of three rectified sinusoids offset from each other by 120 degrees and therefore has reduced line frequency ripple.
  • the invention provides an apparatus that maintains near unity AC line power factor and low AC line harmonic current content.
  • the system includes, on the transmission side, a line frequency rectifier not followed by a line frequency ripple filter, a DC-to-AC inverter that inverts the rectified AC line frequency to an envelope modulated high frequency rectangular waveform with an amplitude that varies continuously in a half-sinusoidal fashion, a transmission coil pair that is combined with resonating capacitors with values specifically selected such that the resonant transmission coil pair becomes a resonant impedance inverter having 90 degrees of transmission phase shift, and a primary side induction coil.
  • the system includes a transmission frequency rectifier and associated transmission frequency ripple filter that provides half-sinusoidal, non-alternating DC current to the receiving side load.
  • the invention is used in applications where the power flows from a DC power source to an AC load.
  • the intrinsic power factor correction apparatus includes a DC power source, a shunt ripple filter capacitor that provides line frequency ripple filtering of an output of the DC power source, a DC-to-AC inverter that converts a line frequency ripple filtered DC voltage from an output of the shunt ripple filter capacitor to an output square wave voltage, an impedance inverter that converts the output square wave voltage to a sinusoidal wave at a frequency of the DC-to-AC inverter that is envelope modulated by a line frequency sinusoid to form a bipolar sinusoidal envelope, a secondary side rectifier that converts the bipolar sinusoidal envelope into a unipolar half- sinusoidal envelope, a de-rectification network that inverts a polarity of every other cycle of the unipolar half-sinusoidal envelope to generate a sinusoidal waveform, and an AC load that receives the sinusoidal waveform.
  • the impedance inverter raises a secondary side voltage under conditions of light loading so as to force line frequency source current from the DC power source and a current at the AC load to be proportional so as to maintain near unity line load power factor and low harmonic current distortion.
  • this is accomplished by using a Terman impedance inverting network as the impedance network so as to provide a voltage transformation that varies with an instantaneous load voltage at the secondary side of the Terman impedance inverting network.
  • a ripple filter network also may be provided to remove high frequency ripple from the unipolar half-sinusoidal envelope before it is applied to the de-rectification network.
  • the de- rectification network itself may include power semiconductor switches in a half wave or full wave bridge configuration.
  • a three phase AC grid load is accommodated using three independent DC-to-AC inverter strings where each string drives one of the three AC constant voltage loads that together constitute an AC three phase constant voltage load.

  • Figure 10 illustrates a conceptual block diagram and associated voltage waveforms for a DC-to-AC inverter based useful for applications in which power flows instead in the opposite direction from DC-source to ac-load with the apparatus providing a near unity power factor AC source.
  • Figure 11 illustrates an embodiment for accommodating a three phase AC grid load using three independent DC-to-AC inverter strings as in Figure 9, where each string drives one of the three AC constant voltage loads that together constitute an AC three phase constant voltage load.
  • the primary side, secondary side induction coil pair 22, 24 and associated resonating capacitors 20, 44 can be configured to function as a voltage step up network under conditions of light loading.
  • Such resonant LC networks are intrinsically high Q under light load conditions and large voltage step up ratios are possible at the resonant frequency.
  • the secondary side battery charging current can be made to flow throughout the duration of the line frequency half-cycle and be proportional to the absolute value of the AC line voltage, thereby presenting a low distortion, unity power factor load to the AC line frequency source without using a specific power factor correction stage.
  • an impedance inverter that provides a voltage transformation that varies continuously as a function of the instantaneous battery terminal impedance as required to maintain proportionality between the line current and the line voltage over each line half-cycle.

  • the values of Ri and R 2 are not constant but vary continuously during each rectified half-cycle.
  • the geometric product JR R 2 is constant and the three network reactances have equal magnitude. This observation is used in the subsequent design of the resonant induction coil matching networks.
  • Figure 5 shows how a resonant induction wireless power coil pair can be transformed into a resonant Terman impedance inverter.
  • Figure 5A shows the wireless power coil pair equivalent circuit of a wireless power transmission coil pair having a coupling coefficient of .385 at 19 kHz.
  • the primary and secondary side winding inductances of 130 ⁇ and the mutual inductance of 50 ⁇ have reactances of +j l7.9 and +j5.97, respectively, at 19 kHz.
  • resonating capacitors 46, 48 are added to the network series arms of the equivalent circuit of Figure 5A.
  • the reactance is selected to completely cancel the reactance of the series inductors Zl , Z2 at 19 kHz and to add an additional series capacitive reactance with the same magnitude as the reactance of the shunt, mutual inductance element Z3 also at 19 kHz.

  • the impedance inverting network of Figure 5C reduces or eliminates inductive wireless power transfer line current harmonic distortion as follows. Just after the line voltage zero-crossing, the magnitude of the rectified line voltage and the magnitude of the inverter voltage output is small. Rectified current provided to the vehicle battery 30 is zero or very small. The impedance on the secondary side of the Terman impedance inverter is very high; therefore, the impedance on the primary side of the impedance inverter is very low. The impedance inverter sees a low impedance load and supplies substantial primary side current. The secondary side voltage increases until it exceeds the battery voltage. Battery charge current starts to flow, the impedance seen by the inverter increases, and the system stabilizes with moderate line current, moderate inverter current, and moderate battery charging current.
  • the magnitude of the rectified line voltage and the magnitude of the impedance inverter voltage output is large. Rectified current provided to the vehicle battery is large as well.
  • the impedance on the secondary side of the Terman impedance inverter is low; therefore, the impedance on the primary side of the impedance inverter is relatively high.

  • the secondary side battery charging load 30 is represented by a direct current voltage source having a small Thevenin resistance representing battery internal resistance.
  • the inverter output voltage amplitude varies in proportion to the rectified, but not filtered, line frequency voltage.
  • a computer simulation was conducted. Time domain circuit simulation was conducted for multiple values of inverter output voltage ranging from zero volts to the peak value of the rectified line voltage. The corresponding load current is graphed in Figure 7 as a function of the inverter, rectified sine supply voltage.
  • battery charging is mediated by a battery management system that monitors and controls battery charging current and maximum battery voltage as well as other relevant parameters such as temperature, sometimes for the battery as a whole but also for individual cells.
  • battery/cell management systems require the use of DC charging current and will likely malfunction in the presence of half-sinusoidal charging current. This difficulty is eliminated by modifying the battery management system to respond to the RMS charging current instead of the average or peak measurement methodology employed conventionally.
  • Effective battery charging requires charging current magnitude be altered according to the battery state of charge as controlled by the battery charging algorithm.
  • maximum battery charging current magnitude is set by the design of the impedance inversion network and by the magnitude of the rectified, half- sinusoidal line voltage that supplies the inverter 18. Further control (reduction) of battery charging current is obtained by pulse width modulation of the inverter 18, by inverter pulse phasing, by inverter pulse dropping and by active control of the secondary side rectifier 26.
