Electric vehicles (EVs) with different output power levels appear in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems. Different vehicle assemblies (VAs) may be charged by different ground assemblies (GAs) in public charging stations. However, the overall efficiency of the WPT system may drop significantly when the power class difference between GA and VA is large. To address this issue this paper proposes a DC-link parallel AC-link series (DPAS) multi-inverter multi-rectifier (MIMR) architecture for high-power WPT systems. Modulation, power transfer capability and power sharing from the design aspects are investigated. A detailed power loss analysis and an easy-toimplemented power loss optimized control method based on mutual inductance identification are presented. Finally, experimental results are obtained from a 20-kW LCC-LCC WPT system to validate the analysis and proposed system operation.
