Item Asymmetric clamped mode control for output voltage regulation in wireless battery charging system for EV(CRC Press, 2023) Kishan, D.; Vinod, M.; Dastagiri Reddy, B.D.; Kannan, R.Inductive based wireless battery charging (WBC) is gaining popularity in the contemporary electric vehicle industry. As the internal resistance of the battery is continuously changing throughout the charging profile, the charging power needs to be controlled. Phase shift control is mostly used to control the power flow between the transmitter and the receiver of the resonant converter in inductive WBC. During the phase shift control, the semiconductor switches to loose zero voltage switching (ZVS) or zero current switching (ZCS), thereby impacting the efficiency of the resonant converter. To address this, an asymmetrical clamped mode control is proposed for a resonant converter in this chapter. The proposed approach ensures that the power semiconductor switches attain ZVS while meeting the charging power requirements. To validate this, a MATLAB/Simulink model of inductive WBC with the proposed control strategy is developed, and the obtained results are presented. © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Dharavath Kishan, Ramani Kannan, B Dastagiri Reddy and Prajof Prabhakaran; individual chapters, the contributors.Item Analysis of Mutual Inductance between Asymmetrical Spiral Circular Coils of WIPTS for EV Battery Charging(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Kishan, D.; Vinod, M.Wireless Inductive Power Transfer System (WIPTS) for electric vehicle battery charging is an emerging technology. It enables electric power transmission without any physical connection between the transmitter coil (Tx) and receiver coil (Rx) over a certain distance. However, the power transfer capability between the wirelessly coupled inductive coils is greatly affected by mutual inductance (MI) between them. This paper presents a new analytical method based on Neumann's equation for computation of MI between the asymmetrical spiral circular coupled coils. The computed mutual inductances are validated with Finite Element Modeling (ANSYS MAXWELL) simulation results. The relative error between the analytical and FEM simulated results is negligible. © 2020 IEEE.Item Magnetic Coupling Characteristics of Spiral Square - Circular Coupled Coils for Wireless EV Battery Charging System(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2020) Kishan, D.; Vinod, M.; Nagendrappa, N.Electric Vehicles (EVs) are gaining continuous interest due to higher efficiency than internal combustion engine vehicles, and environmentally friendly nature. Nowadays, most of the EV uses the conductive charging method to charge the battery. Besides that, wireless inductive charging technology for EV has recently received a great attention because of the advantages such as increased user convenience and safety. In this method of charging mutual inductance between the wireless inductive coils is the crucial factor. Hence, this paper describes the mutual inductance characteristics of the transmitter with spiral square - receiver with circular (i.e., interoperability spiral square and spiral circular of coils) at various vertical distances using FEM simulations. © 2020 IEEE.Item Design of Spiral Square Inductive Power Pads with Misalignment for Wireless Power Transfer System(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Vinod, M.; Kishan, D.; Nagendrappa, H.; Kannan, R.Wireless power transfer (WPT) can find the potential applications reaching from power transfer to low power appliances to high power electric vehicle battery charging and industrial systems applications. Inductive power pads are the key components for magnetic induction based WPT systems. Hence, this paper labels the analysis of magnetic coupling characteristics of spiral square inductive pads with various misalignments. In this process the inductive power pads are designed in FEM simulation. The modelling approach is presented to calculate the coupling coefficient, self and mutual inductance of spiral square inductive pads of WPT system and also presented the power and efficiency analysis of the system. © 2021 IEEE.Item Comparative Analysis of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Phase Shift Control Strategy for Resonant Wireless Inductive Charging System(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Vinod, M.; Kishan, D.; Nagendrappa, H.; Dastagiri Reddy, B.D.This paper describes the operation and performance analysis of series/series resonant wireless inductive charging system with symmetrical phase shift (SPS) and asymmetrical phase shift (APS) control strategies. The H-bridge inverter switches of the resonant wireless inductive charging system (RWICS) are designed to operate with zero voltage switching. The comparison of the SPS, APS switching strategies are discussed in regulation of output voltage for different loading conditions and step change in the reference voltages. It is found that the system efficiency is higher with APS control strategy. Also, the variation in pulse-width angle required for controlling the output voltage is small for various loading conditions in APS compared to the SPS. The MATLAB/Simulink Simulation results confirmed that APS control strategy provides superior performance than SPS control for different loading and different output desired conditions. © 2021 IEEE.Item Bipolar Duty Cycle Control for Dual Side LCC Compensated Inductive Power Transfer System for Wide Output Voltage Range(IEEE Computer Society, 2024) Kishan, D.; Chub, A.; Vinod, M.This paper proposes a hybrid phase shift control strategy for dual side inductor-capacitor-capacitor compensated inductive power transfer (IPT) system to achieve a wide output voltage regulation range. The first-order harmonic time domain model is used to compute the inverter output voltage. Then, models of system operation in constant voltage (CV) and constant current (CC) modes are developed to analyze the efficiency of the battery charging process. The designed controller loops are validated for a 1 kW MATLAB Simulink model. Results show that a maximum efficiency of 93.80% is achieved at full load conditions, and the proposed control strategy achieves zero voltage switching (ZVS) in more switches than the conventional control method. © 2024 IEEE.Item Analysis of Integrated on-Board Charger for 400 V and 800 V EV Battery Using Dual-Mode Three-Leg LLC Resonant Converter(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Vinusha, B.; Vinod, M.; Kishan, D.; Kalpana, R.Electric vehicle technology is rapidly advancing to achieve higher power density and cost-effectiveness.

MATLAB/Simulink simulations verify the converter's performance for both battery types at 10 kW power level. © 2024 IEEE.Item A Full Bridge Series-Series Resonant IPT System Optimized for Charging Electric Vehicle Batteries Across an Extensive Range(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Kishan, D.; Vinod, M.; Chub, A.Designing an effective inductive charging system for electric vehicles, with distinct battery pack voltages ranging from 200 V to 800 V, poses considerable challenges. Conventionally, addressing this broad battery range involves using a secondary-side DC-DC converter with diode bridge rectifiers or controlled rectifiers, but this approach increases onboard vehicle weight and introduces complex control issues, leading to reduced system efficiency. This article proposes an innovative solution in the form of a wide-gain converter with two sets of coupled coils designed to efficiently charge batteries across different voltage ranges. The proposed system operates in four modes: voltage doubler (V-D), current doubler (I-D), full-bridge (F-B), and half-bridge (H-B) the system. The proposed system is simulated in MATLAB simulations, and the simulated performances are validated using a laboratory prototype at different output voltage and power levels.

The majority of modern EV models are equipped with 400 or 800 V battery packs. To charge both batteries efficiently, an additional dc-dc converter on the receiver side is employed, which reduces the overall system efficiency and also increases the cost. This letter proposes a reduced switch count novel converter to charge distinct EV models without degrading the efficiency of the system. The proposed converter has two operating modes, a voltage doubler mode to charge an 800 V battery and a current doubler mode to charge a 400 V battery at the same power level. MATLAB/Simulink simulations have been carried out to verify the performance of the three-leg converter for both 400 and 800 V batteries at 7.2 kW. Furthermore, a laboratory prototype of the proposed converter for 500 W has been built using the silicon carbide (SiC) devices, and the results obtained are provided. © 1986-2012 IEEE.
