Maximum Power Transfer01:16

Maximum Power Transfer

590
Numerous practical applications within engineering disciplines, such as telecommunications, necessitate optimizing power delivery to a connected load. This pursuit, however, entails inherent internal losses, which can either equal or exceed the power supplied to the load. The Thevenin equivalent circuit is helpful in finding the maximum power a linear circuit can deliver to a load. It is assumed in this context that the load resistance can be adjusted.
By substituting the entire circuit with...

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem01:20

The Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

892
Consider a linear AC Thevenin equivalent circuit connected to a load impedance.
The load connected draws the current, and the circuit delivers the power to the load. The alternating current flowing through the load is determined using the rectangular form of voltages, currents, network impedance, and load impedance. The average power delivered to the load is obtained from the product of the square of current and load resistance.

Power Factor Correction01:20

Power Factor Correction

322
The power transmission to a factory involves the transfer of apparent power, a combination of active and reactive power. The power factor measures how effectively electrical power is converted into useful work output. The ratio of the real power (KW) that does the work to the apparent power (KVA) supplied to the circuit.

Feedback control systems01:26

Feedback control systems

544
Feedback control systems are categorized in various ways based on their design, analysis, and signal types.
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Effects of feedback01:24

Effects of feedback

805
Feedback in control systems plays a critical role in shaping various operational parameters, extending beyond simple error reduction to influence stability, bandwidth, gain, impedance, and sensitivity. Understanding these effects requires examining a basic feedback system characterized by defined input, output, error, and feedback signals.
Feedback significantly modifies the gain of a control system. The gain of a system without feedback is altered by a factor of one plus GH, where G represents...

The Power Superposition Principle01:19

The Power Superposition Principle

254
Consider a circuit with two sinusoidal voltage sources. Each one influences the circuit independently, and the superposition principle helps us understand the combined effect by adding up the responses from each source.

Area of Science:

  • Electrical Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Wireless Power Transfer

Background:

  • Wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, especially for biomedical sensors, face efficiency issues due to dynamic impedance mismatches.
  • These mismatches degrade battery life and increase electromagnetic emissions.
  • System stability is often compromised by coil misalignment and fluctuating load demands.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an adaptive impedance matching system for WPT.
  • To enhance efficiency and stability while minimizing size, power consumption, and reaction time.
  • To enable simultaneous power feedback for improved WPT performance.

Main Methods:

  • A two-stage control loop was implemented on the primary-side reader unit.
  • A digital PI controller regulated rectifier output voltage for power feedback.
  • A perturb-and-observe controller optimized the voltage controller's setpoint for maximum efficiency.

Main Results:

  • Static reactive L networks provided suitable efficiency for high-quality factor coils.
  • Regulated rectifier output voltage served as a direct measure of DC load impedance for tuning.
  • A prototype demonstrated adaptive impedance matching in a 40.68 MHz link (10-100 mW load) with 300 ms tuning time.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed system enables adaptive impedance matching for low-energy sensor applications.
  • Achieved minimized footprint (<200 mm²), low power consumption (<1 mW), and fast reaction times.
  • The approach enhances efficiency and stability in weakly-coupled WPT systems.
