Abstract
Summary This thesis work aims to realize a wireless power transfer class-E DC-DC converter controlled by an innovative method. The circuit is composed of a primary and a secondary side which are isolated and works like an inverter and a rectifier stage coupled by two inductor coils (i.e. two coupled coils that work as a transformer with low coupling factor k). The wireless class-E converter is usually designed for a specific load value and a specific k and only in this configuration the optimal solution is guaranteed. Furthermore, this circuit is very sensitive to variations in the load (the simplification of the time-variant electronics that must be fed by the converter) or the coupling factor (changing with distance, misalignment or medium between the coils).
The idea is to implement a control algorithm capable of guaranteeing and eventually tracking the Optimal Power Point (OPP) for different power levels in different scenarios that arrive from variations of the load value or the distance between the primary and the secondary circuit
