Abstract

The critical point analysis(CA) and impedance matching analysis(IA) are performed and compared for a 4-coil magnetic resonance wireless power transfer system. Because the operating frequency splits at short distance while the efficiency drops drastically at long distance in this system, the optimization technique is needed for either a specific distance or efficiency at the fixed frequency. CA uses the critical point where shows maximum efficiency in the entire range and IA uses the impedance matching technique to achieve maximum efficiency at the specific distance. Comparison result shows that IA is more efficient than CA. Also, it shows one side matching has a tradeoff relationship comparing to both side matching. By using four spiral resonant coils, the analysis was experimentally verified. The measured data agreed well with the calculated data.

4-코일 자기 공진 무선 전력 전송 시스템의 해석법 중 critical point analysis(CA)와 impedance matching analysis(IA)를 분석하고, 두 결과를 비교하였다. 4-코일 시스템은 가까운 거리에서는 주파수 분리 현상이 나타나고, 먼 거리에서는 효율이 급격히 감소하는 특징을 나타낸다. 따라서 고정된 주파수에서 사용할 경우, 목표하는 거리와 효율에 따라 최적화가 필요하다. CA는 전체 거리에서 효율이 최대가 되는 critical point를 이용하여 최적화하는 방법이고, IA는 목표 지점에서 임피던스 정합을 이뤄 최대 효율을 만족시키는 방법이다. 기존의 해석은 두 가지 방법을 비교하고 시스템 특성을 이해하는데 부족한 점이 있었기 때문에, 본 논문에서 두 방법의 이론을 좀 더 자세히 분석하고 비교하였다. 두 방법의 비교 결과를 통해 IA가 더 우수함을 보였다. 또한, 한쪽만 정합할 경우 발생되는 트레이드-오프에 대해서도 설명하였다. 스파이럴 공진 코일을 이용한 실험에서는 이론 결과와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
