 Abstract

A parallel multi-inverter inductive power transfer (IPT) system based on SiC MOSFETs is presented to upgrade the power level and to suppress the circulating current. First, the basic principle and a mathematical model of a parallel multi-inverter IPT system are analyzed, and the output current and power for each of the parallel inverters are modeled. Second, the compensation network parameters for the parallel multi-inverter IPT system are confi gured and a cooperative control strategy is given. Third, various circulating loops and zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) operation are studied. Finally, a 1.2 kW IPT system is built for experimental verifi cation. Results obtained with the experimental system demonstrate that the output power ratio for each of the parallel inverters is about 1:2 and all of them achieve ZVS. In addition, the maximum effi ciency of the DC–DC system is measured to be 92.53%, while the circulating current amplitude is only 0.2 A.
