CHARACTERIZATION OF DIGITAL CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR A 50W CAPACITIVELY ISOLATED DC-DC CONVERTER

This thesis is focused on Capacitive Power Transfer (CPT). Continuing the work from previous theses where state of the art of CPT systems has been reviewed followed by the implementation of the same. Additionally, different control strategies have been studied and modelled through simulations and a prototype has been designed. The main focus of this thesis is to characterize the CPT system control loop and verify its operation for different control strategies in varying load conditions. Furthermore, the thesis intents to compare the simulations results with the experimental ones.
