A Soft-Switched Power-Factor-Corrected Single-Phase Bidirectional AC–DC Wireless Power Transfer Converter With an Integrated Power Stage

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Bidirectional ac–dc wireless power transfer (WPT) converters are widely used in grid-connected electric vehicle systems for grid-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-grid applications. They usually apply a two-stage topology with a bidirectional ac–dc power factor correction converter and a bidirectional dc–dc WPT converter. Such a two-stage topology cannot achieve high efficiency and low cost. Recently, single-stage matrix bidirectional ac–dc WPT converters have been proposed. However, the matrix-converter-based topologies do not utilize remarkably lower count of power switches and generate large double-line frequency ripple in the dc-side voltage or current. This article proposes a new single-phase bidirectional ac–dc WPT topology with an integrated power stage to overcome the drawbacks of the matrix-converter-based topologies and retain the advantages of single-stage topologies. Description of the proposed topology with the modulation and control methods, theoretical analysis, and reference design procedure are presented in detail. Finally, a scaled-down laboratory prototype with 500-W output power is implemented with experimental results presented to validate the principle, analysis, and design.
