An on-line steady state load identification method is proposed to solve the problems related to frequency drift, system robustness deterioration, difficulties in controller design due to the uncertainties in load and mutual inductance variations of an IPT (Inductive Power Transfer) system. Take a SS-type IPT system as an example, an additional capacitor is added into the system to make the system work in two operating modes, and a mathematical model is established according to the two modes for the system identification. Simulation and experimental results have verified the proposed on-line load identification method. It has demonstrated that the method is accurate and reliable for identifying uncertain loads and magnetic coupling variations if other system parameters are known. The method can be used to improve the system performance with precise control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
