This paper presents a novel multi-transmitter (Tx) / multi-receiver (Rx) inductive power transfer system. Compared to conventional single-Tx/single-Rx systems, multi-Tx/multi-Rx topologies increase reliability and fault tolerance. However, unequal power distribution is challenging in these systems due to coupling differences, which prevents them from operating at rated power or requires over-designed modules. This study proposes the addition of a middle-stage resonator (MSR) that balances power distribution by separating direct couplings between Tx and Rx coils. Thus, it increases reliability and fault tolerance. Direct couplings between Tx and Rx coils are avoided via the proposed coil structure, which also provides rotational symmetry. Moreover, an analytical method is proposed to avoid bifurcation, which reduces switching losses. Then, the fault tolerance analysis on multi-Tx/multi-Rx systems and optimum selection of module numbers are investigated. Finally, a 1kW 2Tx/1MSR/4Rx prototype is established to continue operation under single-Tx, single-Rx, and double-Rx open circuit faults.

Concurrent operation of wireless power transfer based contactless slip ring and motor drive system with a single converter Ayaz, Enes; Keysan, Ozan; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-9) This thesis presents a novel approach for concurrent power transfer to wired and wireless systems using a single inverter. This proposed approach fits a cost-effective solution to wireless power transfer (WPT) systems used in contactless slip rings (CSR) applications such as sensors, radars, or wind-turbine pitch controls. In conventional systems, there are two separate converters: one is for the motor drive, and the other is for the WPT system. It is proposed that the switching harmonics of the motor drive...
Carrier Phase Shift Method of SPWM for Concurrent Wired and Wireless Power Transfer Systems Ayaz, Enes; Altun, Ogün; Keysan, Ozan (2022-01-01) This paper presents an approach for concurrent power transfer to wired and wireless systems using just a single inverter. The approach utilizes a novel carrier phase-shift (CPS) method that independently controls the inverter output voltages at the fundamental and switching frequencies. This proposed method can be a cost-effective solution to wireless power transfer (WPT) systems used in contactless slip rings (CSR), which transfer power to auxiliary loads such as sensors, radars, and IoT devices. There are...
Fully Integrated Ultra-Low Voltage DC-DC Converter with Voltage Quadrupling LC Tank Oscillator for Energy Harvesting Applications Jayaweera, H. M. P. C.; Tabrizi, Hamed Osouli; Muhtaroglu, Ali (2017-12-02) This paper presents a novel fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter and its multi-stage architecture. DC-DC converter frequency has been analytically derived using model analysis and validated in Cadence environment. The proposed voltage quadrupling LC tank oscillator eliminates the buffer circuits utilized in the traditional DC-DC converter, hence improves the performance metrics such as efficiency and output power capacity. The circuit was designed in 180nm standard CMOS process and was simulat...
Highly Integrated 3 V Supply Electronics for Electromagnetic Energy Harvesters With Minimum 0.4 V-peak Input Ulusan, Hasan; Zorlu, Ozge; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2017-07-01) This paper presents a self-powered interface enabling battery-like operation with a regulated 3 V output from ac signals as low as 0.4 V-peak, generated by electromagnetic energy harvesters under low frequency vibrations. As the first stage of the 180 nm standard CMOS circuit, harvested signal is rectified through an ac/dc doubler with active diodes powered internally by a passive ac/dc quadrupler. The voltage is boosted in the second stage through a low voltage charge pump stimulated by an on-chip ring osc...
DC Link Capacitor Optimization for Integrated Modular Motor Drives Ugur, Mesut; Keysan, Ozan (2017-06-21) In this paper, selection of optimum DC link capacitor for Integrated Modular Motor Drives (IMMD) is presented. First, a review of IMMD technologies is given and current research and future prospects are studied. Inverter topologies and gate drive techniques are evaluated in terms of DC link performance.
