Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of wireless power transmission and power converters, specifically to a multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transmission system based on a cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter. Background Technology
[0002] Wireless power transfer systems, with their inherent advantage of using soft media in space for contactless power transfer, have been widely applied in fields such as electric vehicles, smart devices, underwater equipment, and drones.
[0003] Currently, due to the lack of a unified design standard for wireless charging devices, wireless charging products from different vendors are not compatible with each other, and different wireless charging transmitters cannot charge different electrical devices. Therefore, researching wireless power transfer systems capable of simultaneously powering loads at multiple frequencies has broad prospects. Most existing multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transfer systems utilize full-bridge or half-bridge superimposed inverter structures. Although existing technologies can achieve multi-frequency output from these inverters, the following shortcomings still exist:
[0004] 1. High harmonic content in inverter output: Traditional full-bridge or half-bridge inverters output two-level voltages, which have high harmonic content. The presence of non-target harmonics makes it difficult to design the resonant network of the transmitter and receiver in a multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transmission system, and also greatly affects the efficiency from the transmitter to the receiver. Furthermore, if non-target harmonics cannot be separated, it also affects the energy quality of the equipment.
[0005] 2. Limited inverter output power, unable to adapt to high-power scenarios: Because the switching devices of the inverter have certain rated voltage and current, this limits the maximum current and voltage that the inverter can withstand, thus limiting the maximum power transmission capability of the inverter. Summary of the Invention
[0006] Objective: To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transmission system based on a cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter. It employs a multi-modulation wave composite carrier in-direction cascade modulation method to generate the switching drive signal for the cascaded H-bridge inverter. This allows the cascaded H-bridge inverter to generate composite multilevel voltages at different load operating frequencies on the receiving side, and converts electrical energy into magnetic energy through the transmitting coil. The secondary receiving coil converts magnetic energy into electrical energy, and filters out electrical energy of other frequencies through the resonant network of its respective receiving circuit, using the electrical energy at its own resonant frequency to power the load. This system can improve the system efficiency of both the transmitting and receiving ends, enable independent control of the power of each receiving circuit, and achieve high-power multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transmission.

The number of output levels of the cascaded h-bridge inverter is 2n+1. The system has m receiving loops and loads operating at different frequencies.
[0009] The PWM generation circuit is located in the primary-side transmitting device. The PWM generation circuit generates a modulation wave signal with the same frequency as the resonant frequency of the m receiving loops based on the different operating frequency requirements of the m receiving loops.

The modulation waves corresponding to each receiving loop are then superimposed to obtain a composite modulation signal. Finally, the composite modulation signal is compared with the carrier superimposed modulation method to generate the switching drive signal of the cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter, so that the inverter can output a multi-frequency composite voltage with 2n+1 levels and containing the signals required by the m receiving loops.

[0036] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. After reading this invention, any modifications of the invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0037] A multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transfer system based on a cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes n DC power supplies 1, cascaded h-bridge inverters 2, a primary-side transmitter, a secondary-side receiver, and a PWM generation circuit. The n DC power supplies 1, cascaded h-bridge inverters 2, and primary-side transmitters are connected in series. The cascaded h-bridge inverters 2 are inverter circuits composed of n cascaded h-bridges consisting of 4n switching transistors. The primary-side transmitter includes a primary-side compensation capacitor and a primary-side transmitter coil 3 connected in series. The secondary-side receiver includes n power receiving loops 4. Each receiving loop 4 includes a receiving coil, a secondary-side compensation capacitor, and a load connected in series. The receiving coil is positioned opposite to the primary-side transmitter coil 3. The number of DC power supplies is the same as the number of h-bridges n. The number of output levels of the cascaded h-bridge inverters is 2n+1. The system has m receiving loops and loads operating at different frequencies.
[0038] In this embodiment, the number of h-bridges in the cascaded h-bridge inverter 2 is n, which corresponds to the number of DC power supplies 1, and the voltage values of each DC power supply are equal. Then the number of output levels of the cascaded h-bridge inverter is 2n+1.
[0039] The PWM generation circuit is set in the primary side transmitter. The PWM generation circuit generates a modulation wave signal with the same frequency as the resonant frequency of the m receiving loops according to the different operating frequency requirements of the m receiving loops. The amplitude of each modulation wave signal is determined according to the energy demand of each receiving load. The modulation waves corresponding to each receiving loop are superimposed to obtain a composite modulation signal. Finally, the composite modulation signal is compared with the carrier stacked modulation method (the number of carrier layers is 2n) to generate the switching drive signal of the cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter, so that the inverter can output a multi-frequency composite voltage with 2n+1 levels and containing the signals required by the m receiving loops.
[0040] The transfer functions of the two transmission channels of the system are:
[0041]
[0042]
[0043] in, This represents the transfer function of transmission channel one. Represents complex variables in the complex plane. This indicates that the receiving coil and the transmitting coil are mutually inducted. This indicates the mutual inductance between the receiving coil and the transmitting coil. This represents the impedance of the receiving circuit. This represents the two impedances of the receiving circuit. This indicates the mutual inductance between the receiving coils. This indicates the load value of transmission channel one. Indicates the primary impedance. This represents the transfer function of transmission channel two. This represents the load value of transmission channel two. Electrical energy of different frequencies between the two channels may interfere with each other, thus affecting the output power of each channel. The degree of interference between different channels is closely related to the frequency selectivity characteristics of the primary and secondary resonant network. This invention analyzes the effectiveness of the two channels in suppressing electrical energy of the opposite frequency by calculating the transfer functions G1(s) and G2(s) of the two channels and by plotting Bode plots.
[0044] Figure 2 The paper illustrates a carrier-in-direction stacked modulation technique based on composite modulated waves. The method for generating the composite modulated signal is as follows: based on the inherent resonant frequency and power requirements of each receiving circuit, the frequency and amplitude of the corresponding modulated wave are determined, and all modulated waves are added together to obtain the final composite modulated signal.
[0045] The formula for calculating composite modulated signals is:
[0046] .
[0047] in, It is a composite modulation signal. The modulated wave corresponding to each receiving loop, , Indicates the number of receiving loops. This represents the amplitude of the modulated wave corresponding to each receiving loop. The frequency of the modulation wave corresponding to each receiving circuit. Indicates the time.
[0048] Finally, a carrier-in-direction stacked modulation method is adopted to generate the switching drive signal for the cascaded H-bridge inverter by modulating the composite modulation wave and 2n layers of carriers. The composite modulation signal and the drive signal generated by one layer of carriers are used to drive one bridge arm, thereby enabling the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter to generate high-frequency composite power containing the frequency and power requirements of all power receiving circuits. Specifically, the method of generating the switching drive signal for the cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter by comparing the composite modulation signal with the co-directional stacked carriers is as follows: 2n triangular carriers with the same amplitude, frequency, and phase are arranged in a stacked manner, with n triangular carriers located in the positive half of the coordinate axis and n triangular carriers located in the lower half of the coordinate axis. These are modulated with the composite modulation wave to generate 2n drive signals. The drive signal modulated by one layer of carriers and the composite modulation wave, along with its complementary signal, are used to drive one bridge arm, thereby enabling the cascaded H-bridge inverter to generate multi-frequency composite power with 2n+1 levels.
[0049] The secondary receiving coil receives the multi-frequency composite magnetic field from the transmitting coil to generate a multi-frequency voltage, and then separates the frequency electrical energy required by each receiving load from the multi-frequency composite energy through the resonant network of each receiving circuit.
[0050] The primary and secondary sides of the multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transmission system both employ an S-shaped compensation structure. The secondary-side receiving device includes n power receiving loops, each containing a receiving coil, a compensation capacitor, and a load. Figure 1 In the system shown, , The resonant network, connected in series, forms the first receiving loop, with a resonant frequency of . . , The resonant network, connected in series, forms the second receiving circuit, with a resonant frequency of... And so on. , Series connection to form a receiving circuit The resonant network has a resonant frequency of And all parameters satisfy:
[0051]
[0052] Therefore, the method for determining the secondary compensation capacitor is as follows: based on the frequency requirements of the load in each receiving circuit, combined with the self-inductance of each receiving coil, to satisfy the resonance condition. The compensation capacitor values corresponding to each receiving loop on the secondary side are calculated, where: The resonant frequency, This is a secondary-side compensation capacitor. This is the self-inductance of the receiving coil.
[0053] Because the primary side contains multi-frequency electrical energy, therefore The selection criteria for the primary capacitor cannot be referenced by those for the secondary capacitor; the primary capacitor... The primary goal of the primary capacitor is to compensate for reactive power in the system and improve the overall power factor. However, its selection should not have too much impact on the overall system efficiency or the power transmission efficiency at each frequency. Therefore, the primary capacitor... The selection must also take into account the frequency of each power channel.
[0054] Therefore, the method for determining the primary-side compensation capacitor is as follows: considering the overall system power, overall system transmission efficiency, and transmission efficiency of each frequency channel, the priority relationship among them is: firstly, ensuring that the overall system power meets the standard; secondly, ensuring that the efficiency of the main frequency transmission channels is high, while preventing the efficiency of other frequency channels from being too low, thus ensuring that the overall system efficiency remains at a high level. This will yield the primary-side compensation capacitor. The optimal value.
[0055] The working principle of the multi-frequency, multi-load wireless power transfer system based on a cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter involved in this implementation is as follows: First, the system parameters are designed, with a focus on the selection of capacitors on the primary and secondary sides. Specifically:
[0056] (1) Based on the requirements of the load in each receiving circuit for the operating frequency, and combined with the self-inductance of each receiving coil, the resonance condition is satisfied. Therefore, the corresponding compensation capacitor values in each receiving circuit on the secondary side can be calculated.
[0057] (2) The selection of the primary-side compensation capacitor needs to take into account the overall power factor of the system, the overall transmission efficiency of the system, and the transmission efficiency of each frequency channel. The priority relationship among them is: first, to meet the system power factor target; second, to ensure that the efficiency of the main frequency transmission channels is high, and third, to ensure that the efficiency of other frequency channels is not too low, so as to ensure that the overall system efficiency remains at a high level. The primary-side compensation capacitor can be obtained through system modeling calculation. The optimal value.
[0058] Next, based on the load's frequency and power requirements, as well as the number of loads, the number, amplitude, and frequency of the modulation waves are determined. The modulation waves are then superimposed to obtain a composite modulation wave, and a switching drive signal is generated using a carrier-in-the-direction stacking modulation method. When adjusting the modulation wave amplitude, care must be taken to ensure that the amplitude of the final superimposed composite modulation wave does not exceed the maximum value of the carrier waves stacked in the same direction; otherwise, distortion of the inverter output waveform will occur. The inverter's switching frequency is closely related to the carrier frequency. An excessively high carrier frequency will lead to frequent inverter switching, resulting in higher inverter losses, while an excessively low carrier frequency will increase harmonics in the inverter output. Furthermore, to reduce low-frequency harmonics, the carrier frequency is generally set to the least common multiple of the resonant frequencies of each receiving circuit. This allows the cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter to output better composite high-frequency power.
[0059] The following section uses specific parameters and experimental analysis to further verify the technical effectiveness of this invention.
[0060] The verification will take a dual-frequency, dual-load circuit as an example, and its simulation circuit is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, its system equivalent model is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, set the DC voltage. The resonant frequency of the secondary receiving circuit Set to 20kHz and 60kHz; self-inductance of the primary-side transmitting coil It is 29.1 internal resistance It is 0.05 Through theoretical analysis of the primary-side compensation capacitor Choose a value of 1.8 ; Secondary 20kHz receiving coil self-inductance It is 88.6 internal resistance It is 0.08 resonant capacitance value It is 0.715 The mutual inductance value of the transmitting coil It is 17.1 ; Self-inductance of the secondary 60kHz receiving coil It is 89.1 internal resistance It is 0.08 resonant capacitance value It is 0.079 The mutual inductance of the transmitting coil It is 16.6 Since the two receiving coils are placed on opposite sides of the transmitting coil, the mutual inductance between the two receiving coils is negligible.
[0061] The carrier wave is composed of four in-phase carrier waves with an amplitude of 0.25 and a frequency of 360kHz, stacked together to achieve a carrier amplitude between -2 and 2. Two modulation wave amplitudes are set. The value is 0.64, and the composite modulation amplitude is 1.971. At this time, the ratio of the composite modulation amplitude to the carrier amplitude is approximately 0.9855.

This invention considers several harmonic frequencies with high content: 220kHz, 300kHz, 340kHz, 380kHz and 420kHz, with contents of 21.89%, 36.45%, 52.38%, 49.62% and 33.89% of 20kHz, respectively.
