A Tradeoff Analysis Of Series / Parallel Three-Phase Converter Topologies For Wireless Extreme Chargers

In this paper, extreme fast charging (XFC) technology is studied considering the charge rates of 300 kW for wireless power transfer (WPT) applications. Tradeoff analysis of series and parallel connection of three-phase WPT system are presented by comparisons of voltage and current stresses on power electronics active / passive components. In addition, star (Y) / delta (Delta) connection configurations for three-phase wireless power transfer coupling coils are analyzed with series and LCC resonant compensation circuits. The system series and parallel connection controllability is also reviewed considering voltage and current balance techniques with output control. In a conclusion of evaluation analysis, it is revealed that each component of 300 kW wireless charging network must be designed for high fast charging system and the overall system operation need to be strategically planned for high power charging and infrastructure deployment.
