| Resumo: | In recent years, contactless energy transfer systems have been developed and investigated widely. As evident, the transfer energy is performed without physical connection. This technology is classified according to power level and place of use. However, the most commonly used one is inductive contactless energy transfer system due to its higher efficiency. The inductive contactless system is responsible to deliver the electrical energy to the loads by means of a long winding loop and sliding transformers. In this system, the output converter and load are directly connected to the secondary side of transformer. Moreover, the secondary side transformer has the capability to move along the primary winding loop. According to this capability, and also possibility to construct long contactless system, it can be used as an electrical energy delivery system for mobile receivers. Also, the ICET technologies improve the safety of the final user by means of the elimination of electrical shocks. It is resulted from using a high-frequency resonant transformer which provides electrical isolation. This feature is particularly important in wet environments such as in swimming pools, gardens and bathrooms. Therefore, it is a good alternative system for implementing in the residential area instead of conventional systems. Implementation of the inductive contactless system in residential area presents several challenges. In this dissertation, several solutions are presented and discussed. In the first chapter, the concept of the contactless energy transfer system is explained. Also, the chapter classifies the contactless system according to the technology and the output power. In chapter two, a new adaptive control algorithm for the fully-controlled contactless energy transfer system is presented. The new adaptive algorithm operates dynamically with the load changes, resulting in maximum efficiency in all the load conditions. Moreover, the mathematical framework of the contactless system with new adaptive algorithm is presented. In chapter three, a partially-controlled inductive contactless system as an alternative to the fully-controlled topology is introduced. The features of the new topology are analyzed by considering several modulation techniques, including frequency modulation, phase modulation and quantum modulation. The performance of the new topology is evaluated and the best modulation technique is identified. The chapter is finished with the design of the new topology with the best modulation technique. In chapter four, the analysis, design and implementation of a simple and cost-effective technique to supply the residential contactless energy transfer system with multiple mobile loads is presents. The topology is based on the cascaded connection of a closed-loop buck converter and a high frequency resonant inverter operating in open loop which is loaded by several output passive rectifiers. The proposed system includes a sliding transformer to supply the mobile loads, leading to a safe and flexible location of loads. The theoretical analysis and design of the proposed system is based on a mathematical model derived using the first harmonic approximation. Selected experimental results are included to verify the system features. Finally, the dissertation concludes with remarks regarding the results. |
