摘要： A wireless electric vehicle charging system comprises base-side equipment for generating a magnetic field and vehicle-side equipment for receiving energy via the magnetic field to supply power to a vehicle-driving battery. Monitoring circuitry monitors one or more of voltage, current, or phase associated with the base-side equipment and halts generation of the magnetic field in response to a change in the voltage, current, or phase associated with the operation of the base-side equipment that indicates a fault condition at the vehicle-side equipment, which may include a loss of power or disconnection of a battery. Based on detection of the change, the monitoring circuitry can halt generation of the magnetic field to prevent damage at the vehicle-side equipment.

摘要： A method and a system for adjusting a double-sided LCC compensation network of a wireless charging system are provided. The method includes: obtaining a standard coupling coefficient, a rated operating frequency, and rated parameter values of compensation elements in the wireless charging system; determining change rates of output performance of the wireless charging system; determining an adjustable compensation element; obtaining a real-time coupling coefficient between the primary-side transmitting coil and the secondary-side receiving coil; determining whether the real-time coupling coefficient is less than a coupling coefficient threshold; and adjusting an operating frequency of the wireless charging system when the real-time coupling coefficient is not less than the coupling coefficient threshold; or adjusting both an operating frequency of the wireless charging system and the adjustable compensation element when the real-time coupling coefficient is less than the coupling coefficient threshold.
