Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention discloses a microwave power transfer system architecture and its control method based on amplitude pulse width modulation, which relates to microwave power transfer and power conversion technology and belongs to the technical field of power generation, power transformation or power distribution. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, various electrical and electronic devices have become indispensable in daily life, which places higher demands on the flexibility and reliability of power supply methods. However, wired power transmission technology has disadvantages such as complex lines and large space occupation. Therefore, it is extremely important to find a new power transmission method—wireless power transmission—to replace traditional wired power transmission. Microwave power transmission is one of the important directions of wireless power transmission technology. Compared with other wireless power transmission methods, it has advantages such as low space loss, long transmission distance, and accurate directional transmission, and has therefore received widespread attention and application.

[0003] Figure 1 The diagram shows the architecture of a traditional microwave power transfer system. To achieve system power control and overall system efficiency improvement, an additional power processing unit needs to be added between the microwave rectifier circuit at the receiving end and the load. Specifically, the MPPT converter realizes the maximum power output of the microwave rectifier circuit; the DC-DC converter stabilizes the load voltage; and the bidirectional DC-DC converter and the battery together achieve the matching of MPPT output power and load power. Obviously, the additional power processing unit has the following problems: (1) it only considers the efficiency improvement at the receiving end and ignores the impact of the transmitting end efficiency on the system efficiency; (2) the increase in the number of converters and stages will cause additional power loss; (3) the system architecture is complex, which increases the difficulty of system control. Therefore, it is crucial to find a simple and effective method for power control and maximum efficiency tracking of microwave power transfer systems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the aforementioned background technology by proposing a microwave power transfer system architecture and its control method based on amplitude pulse width modulation, thereby solving the technical problem of complex architecture in existing microwave power transfer system power control and maximum efficiency tracking, and achieving the invention objective of simplifying and optimizing microwave power transfer system power control and maximum efficiency tracking.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A microwave power transfer system architecture based on amplitude pulse width modulation (PWM) includes a microwave signal source, a DC power supply, a power amplifier, an amplitude pulse width modulation converter, a transceiver antenna, a microwave rectifier circuit, a passive filter circuit, a load, a wireless communication unit, and a control unit. The amplitude pulse width modulation converter consists of an amplitude modulation converter and a pulse width modulation converter. Its input is connected to the DC power supply, and its output is connected to the positive terminal of the power amplifier's power supply. By adjusting the amplitude and pulse width of the output voltage of the amplitude pulse width modulation converter, the continuous microwave signal at the power amplifier's input can be converted into pulsed microwave power with adjustable amplitude and pulse width, which is then transmitted to the receiving end via the transceiver antenna. The microwave rectifier circuit converts the pulsed microwave power into pulsed electrical power. The input of the passive filter circuit is connected to the output of the microwave rectifier circuit, converting the pulsed electrical power into DC power for transmission to the load. The control unit acquires the input voltage, input current, and output voltage information of the amplitude modulation converter, as well as the load voltage and load current information transmitted by the wireless communication unit. It then executes a maximum efficiency tracking algorithm, amplitude modulation converter output voltage control, and load voltage control to achieve power control and maximum efficiency tracking of the microwave power transfer. The core of the microwave power transfer system architecture based on amplitude pulse width modulation (PWM) for achieving system power control and maximum efficiency tracking (METS) is as follows: The output voltage reference signal of the amplitude modulation converter is adjusted in real time according to the METS algorithm. By controlling the output voltage of the amplitude modulation converter, the instantaneous output power of the power amplifier is dynamically changed, thereby adjusting the instantaneous power transfer of the system and thus regulating the system efficiency to ensure that the system operates at its maximum efficiency point. The PWM converter and passive filter circuit constitute a "microwave embedded" Buck converter. By dynamically changing the duty cycle of the PWM converter according to the load voltage control, the load voltage can be stabilized, thereby achieving system power control.

[0007] The amplitude modulation converter adopts a Buck circuit structure, consisting of a power supply, a first switching transistor, a first diode, a first inductor, and a first capacitor; the pulse width modulation converter is composed of a second switching transistor; the output of the amplitude modulation converter is connected to the input of the pulse width modulation converter.

[0008] The passive filter circuit consists of a second diode, a second inductor, and a second capacitor; in particular, the passive filter circuit and the second switching transistor of the pulse width modulation converter constitute a "microwave embedded" Buck converter.

[0009] The control unit includes a system maximum efficiency tracking algorithm, an amplitude modulation converter output voltage control circuit, and a load voltage control circuit. The input signals for the system maximum efficiency tracking algorithm are the input voltage, input current, load voltage, and load current of the amplitude modulation converter; the output signal is connected to the reference signal of the amplitude modulation converter output voltage control circuit. The feedback signal of the amplitude modulation converter output voltage control circuit is the output voltage of the amplitude modulation converter, and the output signal is connected to the gate of the first switch of the amplitude modulation converter. The reference signal of the load voltage control circuit is the rated load voltage, the feedback signal is the load voltage, and the output signal is connected to the gate of the second switch of the pulse width modulation converter.

[0010] The system maximum efficiency tracking algorithm calculates the current system efficiency η(k) based on the input voltage, input current, load voltage, and load current of the amplitude modulation converter, and compares η(k) with the system efficiency η(k-1) of the previous moment. If η(k) > η(k-1), it indicates that the current system efficiency is greater than the previous moment's efficiency, but has not reached the maximum system efficiency. In this case, the increase / decrease of the amplitude modulation converter output voltage reference signal remains unchanged in the next moment. If η(k) < η(k-1), it indicates that the current system efficiency is less than the previous moment's efficiency. In this case, the increase / decrease of the amplitude modulation converter output voltage reference signal is inverted in the next moment. This process is repeated until η(k) = η(k-1), meaning the microwave energy transfer system efficiency reaches its maximum.

[0011] An amplitude modulation converter output voltage control circuit includes a first voltage regulator and a first PWM controller. The first voltage regulator includes a first resistor, a second resistor, a third resistor, a first capacitor, and a first operational amplifier. The first PWM controller includes a second operational amplifier and a first sawtooth wave power supply. One end of the first resistor is connected to the output voltage sampling signal of the amplitude modulation converter, and the other end is connected to one end of the third resistor and the inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier. The other end of the third resistor is connected to one terminal of the first capacitor. The other terminal of the first capacitor is connected to the output terminal of the first operational amplifier and the non-inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier. One end of the second resistor is connected to the output signal of the system maximum efficiency tracking algorithm, and the other end is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first operational amplifier. The inverting input terminal of the second operational amplifier is connected to the first sawtooth wave power supply and then grounded. The output terminal of the second operational amplifier is connected to the gate of the first switching transistor of the amplitude modulation converter.

[0012] The load voltage control circuit includes a second voltage regulator and a second PWM controller. The second voltage regulator includes a fourth resistor, a fifth resistor, a sixth resistor, a second capacitor, and a third operational amplifier. The second PWM controller includes a fourth operational amplifier and a second sawtooth wave power supply. One end of the fourth resistor is connected to the load voltage sampling signal, and the other end is connected to one end of the sixth resistor and the inverting input of the third operational amplifier. The other end of the sixth resistor is connected to one terminal of the second capacitor. The other terminal of the second capacitor is connected to the output of the third operational amplifier and the non-inverting input of the fourth operational amplifier. One end of the fifth resistor is connected to the load voltage reference signal, and the other end is connected to the non-inverting input of the third operational amplifier. The inverting input of the fourth operational amplifier is connected to the second sawtooth wave power supply and then grounded. The output of the fourth operational amplifier is connected to the gate of the second switching transistor of the pulse width modulation converter.
