Inductive power transfer (IPT) systems can improve the practicalities of a power delivery circuit (e.g., an electric vehicle charger). The contactless structure of IPT reduces the risk of sparking and electric shock, as well as provides good mobility for the IPT recipient during power transfer. Furthermore, the absence of moving parts on the transmitter and receiver circuits increases system reliability.
This research explores the application of a three-phase to single-phase midpoint matrix converter using a free-wheeling switch (MMCFS) in a series-none IPT application, in order to reduce system complexity, size and cost. The IPT prototype achieves an overall efficiency of around 80% based on a coupling factor of 0.53. This prototype demonstrates that MMCFS can be used as an alternative to the rectifier-inverter topology in the IPT systems.
