Modelling and control of wireless power transfer systems

Abstract

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) allows seamless power transfer from the source to the load without any use of cables or contact. WPT benefits can be seen in our daily lives such as wireless phone charging, elimination of bringing bothersome cables around, ensuring better convenience and flexibility of use of charging devices. This project aims to design a good feedback control system for WPT system to realise stable and accurate power control. The mathematical model of WPT is firstly being studied and the developed models and control algorithms are then verified in simulation tools e.g. Matlab/Simulink or PLECS before they are eventually being tested in the prototype system developed in the lab.
