    Abstract

    This paper presents the results obtained from the transient analysis of a hybrid series-

    parallel inductor-capacitor-inductor resonant network, commonly known as an LCL-T

    network. The network under consideration was subjected to the following two separate

    transient conditions: 1) Turn-on transient, and 2) Short-circuit transient. The analysis of each

    transient condition was completed by means of the following three separate approaches: 1)

    Classical (analytical), 2) State-Space (numerical), and 3) LTspice circuit simulation

    (numerical). All approaches showed to have good agreement with each other upon

    comparison.

    Chapter 1

    Introduction

    1.1 Motivation and Background

    Recent studies have shown the feasibility of using the near magnetic field to transfer

    large amounts of power (i.e. >3.3 kW) across distances that span up to 10 inches with greater

    than 92% efficiency across the full cascade of system components from the wall utilitysupply to the target device under charge [1-2]. This technology has come to be variously

    known as Inductive Power Transfer (IPT), Resonant Magnetic Induction (RMI), or more

    generally as Wireless Power Transfer (WPT). For this paper all of the foregoing terms will be

    used interchangeably.

    The fundamental difference between this type of IPT and the conventional magnetic

    induction that has now been in use for nearly a century in such devices as transformers and

    proximity chargers is the use of resonance at both the source and receiver inductive loops to facilitate

    power transfer across larger distances (i.e. much smaller coupling coefficients) while still

    maintaining a high transfer efficiency. As seen in figure 1-1, a typical resonant IPT system

    generally has a source of high-frequency power anywhere from 20kHz to up to 145kHz

    driving an inductive primary conductive loop, also commonly known as the track, through

    a resonant network (i.e. in this context the term high frequency is intended to indicate that

    the frequency of the signal driving the WPT system is very much higher than that of the

    utility supply, which is 60Hz, and is not to be confused with the RF band). The resonant

    network is made up of discrete capacitors and inductors that are chosen with a specific

    operating frequency in mind, and interconnected in any of several available topologies.

    Across the large air gap on the secondary side, there is a capture loop that is also part of asimilar, but not necessarily identical, resonant network of discrete capacitors and inductors

    which are in turn chosen to match the primarys resonant frequency.

    Figure 1-1: Block Diagram of Typical Resonant IPT System

    As shown in figure 1-2, when the primary inductive loop is driven with a time-varying

    current alternating at the output networks resonant frequency (fo), a time-varying magnetic

    field with the same frequency will be induced about its surrounding by virtue of the Ampere-Maxwell circuital law. In turn, when a secondary loop is brought within the vicinity of the

    primarys inductive near field it will capture some of the flux produced by the primary and by

    Faradays law of induction this captured flux will cause an AC potential difference in the

    receiving loop which will in turn drive a time-varying current at the same frequency of the

    inducing flux. By ensuring that the secondarys input network is also tuned to the sources

    resonant frequency, power transfer efficiency is thus made to be maximum. It has recently

    been shown that upwards of 98% transfer efficiency can be achieved from source loop to

    receiver loop when transferring power levels in excess of 4 kW [3]. The received power can

    then be rectified, regulated, and used to power a device or charge a battery.

    To date, the type of power source used most often in high power applications, such as

    electric vehicle (EV) charging, is a resonant full-bridge converter topology with square wave

    output [4-7]. The converter is termed as resonant because the fundamental frequency of the

    square wave it produces at its output terminals drives the output network to which it is

    connected at its inherent resonant frequency. This type of topology and operation is essential

    to the efficiency of the entire system because it minimizes the instantaneous switching power

    losses that are normally associated with hard switched power electronic converters by

    ensuring that the switching instants of the converter switches take place when the current

    drawn by the output network is very nearly zero, hence this type of switching is often called

    Zero-Current and/or Zero-Voltage switching (i.e. ZCS/ZVS) [8].

    In late 2010 the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) assembled an internationaltaskforce, formally known as SAEJ2954, to develop a working industry standard that

    establishes the minimum performance and safety criterea for wireless charging of electric andplug-in vehicles [9]. There are a number of topics under the overall scope of SAEJ2954,including:

    1. Classification of different charging types and minimum efficiency per charging type2. Interoperability including center operating (resonant) frequency of charging3. Communications & software (harmonize with SAE conductive charging)4.Validation testing (vehicle, charger, system)5. Parking alignment between the vehicle secondary coil and the primary coil of the

    wireless charging unit (EV Supply Equipment, EVSE)

    6. Location on vehicle and orientation of charger7. Safety items, including obstacle detection, both organic and inorganic; magnetic field

    levels; charging battery state of charge levels and rate; temperature development tests;and electric shock

    8. Design validation test and wireless charging verification test.The aforementioned developments in the state of the art clearly demonstrate that this

    type of technology holds much research potential. In view of the foregoing, the author ofthis paper has chosen this growing area of research as the general topic of interest for hisgraduate studies. More specifically, the research topic under study is the Investigation ofPrimary Converter Topologies for IPT Systems. Research of this topic calls for theinvestigation and comparison of converter topologies used in IPT systems for low and highpower applications. The ultimate aim of the study is to propose and develop a new type ofconverter suitable for handling a range of applications. The research would start byinvestigating all possible types of primary converter topologies for generating a highfrequency magnetic field. A thorough comparison between all of them would be made, interms of complexity (cost and size), efficiency, frequency, etc. In addition, operationinvolving variations in both magnetic coupling and loading would be considered. This

    project will involve the construction and design of multiple primary converters to use as acomparative study and determine the optimal. To date, no such work has been thoroughlycarried out in terms of an application study.

    In view of the fact that there are many different choices for output networks (i.e.

    Series-Resonant, Parallel-Resonant, Series-Parallel-Resonant, etc.), a key part of the authorsgraduate work will be the determination of the optimal output network topology andconverter type combination. The first topology chosen by the investigator to begin hiscomparative work is the LCL-T topology. The next section of this report will present thenature of the proposed analysis to be carried out on the LCL-T topology and its expectedoutcome.

    1.2 Scope of Work and Project Deliverables

    As stated in the previous section of this report, the LCL-T network of figure 1-3 is just

    one of several possible output network topologies that are presently being used for IPT

    applications. The input source Vp represents square wave output which is fed from thesquare-wave inverter terminals. The inductive element in series with the resistance and

    impedance is normally referred to as the magnetic pad when used for EV charging

    applications, and it is what couples magnetically to a secondary coil when wireless power

    transfer is being carried out. The resistor Rt models the very small equivalent series resistance

    (ESR) of the magnetic pad and the impedance Z models the reflected impedance of the

    secondary side. It is relevant to note that when the system is driven at its inherent resonant

    frequency the reflected impedance is purely real [10-14].

    Figure 1-3: LCL-T Output Network to be Analyzed for Transients at Two Switching Instants

    When an IPT system is initially energized (i.e. turned-on) transients will inevitably take

    place for a brief period of time leading to the systems steady-state operation. Moreover, if

    during operation at steady state the load to which power is being wirelessly supplied is

    removed (i.e. the vehicle is abruptly moved away from the magnetic pad), then the reflected

    real resistance drops to zero. In turn, this abrupt change in the networks configuration leads

    to transients also. This project has as its aim to analyze and model the transients that arise as

    a result of the foregoing two conditions when a square-wave such as the one shown in figure

    1-2 of the previous section is used to drive the system. The two switches in the circuit of

    figure 1-3 model the foregoing two conditions. Specifically, SW1 models the effect of

    energizing the system, while SW2 models the effect of abruptly removing the load on thesecondary side.

    As the deliverables of the project, the current through each inductor and voltage across

    the capacitor will be obtained by means of the following three methods: 1) Classical

    approach, 2) State-Space Approach, and 3) SPICE circuit simulation.

    Transient Analysis Via The Classical Approach

    2.1 Classical Method Fundamentals Explained

    The classical method of transient analysis is based on the determination of the

    ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that describe the dynamic behavior of the system

    under study, in this particular case an electrical circuit with three energy storage elements.The foregoing differential equations are obtained from the first principles or laws that

    characterize lumped element circuit operation. These laws have come to be known as

    Kirchoffs Voltage and Current Laws.

    Once the ODEs that describe the circuit have been ascertained, the complete

    solution is obtained by applying the superposition principle and summing the solution to

    two separate equations, or system of equations. The first system solved for is the unforced

    system which is characterized by a homogeneous set of differential equations that results

    from setting all inputs to zero. The solution obtained from this initial step is commonly

    referred to as the natural or transient response and is independent of the nature of the

    forcing function acting upon the system, being completely determined by the circuits

    topology and any previously stored energy.

    The second system solved for is the system that includes all forcing functions. The

    solution for this system is known as the forced or steady-state response and its general formis

    solely dependent on the form on the input, while its actual values are affected by the wave-

    shaping effects of the network elements.

    Application of the general classical approach calls for the completion of five general

    steps which can be summarized as follows [15]:

    Determination of

    1. characteristic equation and evaluation of its roots2. forced response

    12/48

    Page | 7

    3. independent initial conditions4. dependent initial conditions5. integration constants

    The next section of this report will show how this five-step process was applied to the

    LCLT network under study.

    2.2 Application of Classical Method to LCL-T Transient

    Analysis

    Following the first step of the five-step process previously outlined the characteristic

    equation of the LCL-T network under study can be obtained by shorting the source and

    calculating the s-domain equivalent impedance function seen at the terminals that connect

    to the source as illustrated in figure 2-1.

    Figure 2-1: Input Impedance Seen at the LCL-T Input Terminals by Incoming Signal

    This step yields the following input impedance and characteristic equation

    respectively:

    || 1 1.1

    01.2

    Upon substitution of the actual component values into (1.2) the characteristic

    equation produces the following three modes:

    759,600 , 10,200 119,670With the obtained modes the general form of the natural response is readily shown to

    be:

    1.3

    1.316 98.03Next the forced response is obtained by carrying out simple phasor analysis with all

    impedances being computed at the fundamental frequency of the input signal, namely 20

    kHz. The force response is thus computed to be:

  • 8/2/2019 Transient Analysis of LCLT Network With Two Switching Instants

    14/48

    Page | 9

    4 arg0||arg 9.87 sin 37.521.4It is important to note that the reason why only the fundamental frequency

    component of the square-wave input is considered in the computation of the forced

    response is that it simplifies the analytical solution process greatly while still providing a highlevel of accuracy. This later statement concerning accuracy is better understood by noting

    that most of the power of this type of signal is carried in the fundamental component as

    seen from the normalized power spectrum shown figure 2-2.

    Figure 2-2: Fourier Decomposition of Square-Wave and its Normalized Power Spectrum

    With both the natural response and the forced response in hand, the total response is:

    9.87

    sin

    37.52

    1.5

    This last expression can be simplified into a more compact one by means of phasors:

    9.87 sin 37.52 0 251.6

    The final step that remains is the computation of the constants A1 through A3.

    Because this is a third order system, we need an initial condition as well its first two

    derivatives at the switching instant. The initial condition is simply taken to be zero because

    the system has zero energy (i.e. zero current through L1) when it is first turned on. The

    remaining derivatives needed must be obtained through auxiliary KCL & KVL equations

    that relate the first and second derivatives of the signal of interest to known quantities.

    The complete total response for the current through inductor L1 is thus:

    0.002 351.93 142.6 9.87 sin 37.521.12Next the capacitor voltage and inductor current are easily obtained with the aid of

    equations (1.7) and (1.9) as:

    0.0087 238.8 23.438 227.3 118.311.13 0.086 61.31 48.07 57.5684 127.451.14

    All currents and voltages obtained are valid for the time interval 0 25 .Evaluation of equations (1.12) to (1.14) at the 25ms boundary of this latter interval yields the

    initial conditions to be used in obtaining the transient response of the system after the

    second switching instant takes place. The foregoing initial conditions are as follows:

    25 216.4035A 25 45.7023 25 200.1348VBy following the same procedure used to obtain the transient response for the first

    switching instant the transient response for the second switching instant is readily found to

    be:

    4.3213 300.03 44.34 34.45 sin 3.7991.15 18.54 203.59 50.51 50.513 28.891.16 181.82 52.26 138.32 72.43 93.371.17

    1.347 51.59These expressions are valid for t>25ms.

    2.3 MATLAB Plots of Analytical Results

    The transient response components for both switching instants along with the steady-

    state component are shown plotted individually on the same time axis in figures 2-4 and 2-5

    respectively. From the first plot (first switching instant) we see that the first transient term isinfinitesimally small in amplitude and dies out extremely quickly (i.e. 5 = 6.58us). The

    second term, which is a damped sinusoid has a significantly larger amplitude and remains for

    490us. It is worth noting that there is a net 180.12o phase shift between the second transient

    term and the steady-state term, which results in a reduction of the greater steady-state terms

    amplitude for the duration of the transient term. This in turn results in a smoother transition

    to steady-state.

    Transient Analysis Via State-Space

    3.1 State-Space Fundamentals Explained

    The state-space method is a powerful mathematical tool that readily lends itself for

    rapid numerical solution of complex systems of differential equations by means of fast

    computers or digital processors. This approach is based on the notion that the future state ofa system can be fully described by a non-unique set of time-dependent system variables

    formally known as state variables [16]. To understand the fundamental concepts underlying

    this powerful tool, the following basic definitions must be formally established:

    System State. The state of a dynamic system is the smallest set of variables (called statevariables) such that knowledge of these variables at some initial instant of time, along withknowledgeof the future system inputs, completely determines the behavior of the system foranyfuture time instant.

    State Space.The n-dimensional space whose coordinate axes consist of the xl axis, x2 axis, .. . , x, axis, where xl , x2,. . . , x, are state variables; is called a state space. Any state can berepresented by a point in the state space.

    State-Space Equations. State-space analysis is concerned with three types of variables thatplay a prominent role in modeling dynamic systems, these variables are: input variables,output variables, and state variables. The state-space representation for a given system is notunique, except that the number of state variables is the same for any of the different state-space representations of the same system. The system being considered is required to have

    elements that maintain a history of the values of the input for t > t1. Since energy storageelements such as capacitors and inductors in an electrical system serve as memory devices,the outputs of such elements can be considered as the variables that define the internal stateof the system. The number of state variables to completely define the dynamics of thesystem is equal to the number of integrators involved in the system. It is common to expressthe system of differential equations that describe the system under study in the followingcompact matrix notation:

    B (3.1) D (3.2)where x is the state vector,y is the output vector, u is the input vector, A is the state matrix,B is the input matrix, C is the output matrix, and D is the direct transmission matrix. The

    block diagram of figure 3.1 illustrates the relationship between all of the foregoingmatrices/vectors pictorially [17].

    3.2 Application of State-Space Method to LCL-T Transient

    Analysis

    Using the state-space paradigm summarized in the previous section, the state variables

    for the LCL-T network under study are chosen as the two inductor currents and the

    capacitor voltage. With these variables in mind, a set of three equations can be obtained

    from the circuit at each switching instant by writing two KVL equation, one about each of

    the two loops, and one KCL equation about the central node. This process is illustrated for

    the 0

    With the above system of equations expressed in state-space form the solution can

    now be obtained numerically by using Simulink or any other desired computational software

    package. For this particular project Simulink was used. The following are the functional

    Simulink blocks that represent the LCL-Ts state-space model:

    Transient Analysis Via LTspice Simulation

    4.1 LTspice Fundamentals Explained

    Since its introduction in 1971, SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated CircuitEmphasis) has become the most popular analog circuit simulation tool in use today. In the

    last two decades, we have witnessed an exponential growth in the use of SPICE, with theaddition of Berkley SPICE 3 enhancements, and support for C code model and mix-modesimulation. Each vendor of SPICE simulation software has added features such as MonteCarlo analysis, schematic entry, and post simulation waveform processing, as well asextensive model libraries. In most cases, the manufacturers have modified the algorithms forcontrolling numerical convergence and have added new parameters or syntax for componentmodels. As a result, each electronic design automation (EDA) tool vendor has the basicBerkley SPICE 2 features and a unique set of capabilities and performance enhancements[18].

    Circuit simulation programs, of which SPICE and derivatives are the most prominent,take a text netlist describing the circuit elements (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) andtheir connections, and translate this description into equations to be solved. The generalequations produced are nonlinear differential algebraic equations which are solvedusing implicit integration methods, Newton's method and sparse matrix techniques.

    Linear Technologys (LT) LTspice IV is a high performance SPICE simulator,

    schematic capture and waveform viewer with enhancements and models for easing the

    simulation of switching regulators. LTs enhancements to SPICE have made simulation of

    switching regulators extremely fast compared to conventional SPICE simulators, allowingthe user to view waveforms for most switching regulators in just a few minutes. The

    standard LTspice IV library includes Macro Models for 80% of Linear Technology's

    switching regulators, over 200 op amp models, as well as resistors, transistors and MOSFET

    models. The next section will explain how this powerful tool was utilized to analyze the

    transient behavior of the LCL-T network under study.

    4.2 LTspice Simulation of LCL-T Network

    Figure 4-1 shows a snapshot of the LTspice Schematic Editor implementation of the

    LCL-T network under study along with the driving square wave inverter and line supply

    rectifier. The two boxes in blue are voltage controlled switches that have been defined so as

    to model the switching action at start-up and the short-circuit condition that takes place

    25ms after. All elements in the circuit with the exception of the voltage sources are actual

    components available in the market. Their high order SPICE models have been obtained

    from the vendor and loaded into the LTspice library. The foregoing fact makes the

    simulation of this circuit as close as it can possibly be to a real life implementation. The next

    4.3 MATLAB Plots of Simulation Results

    The following are the plots of the total response for the two inductor currents and the

    capacitor voltage shown for 1) the entire 50ms window, 2) for the first 800us f the first

    transient, and 3) for the time interval spanning the duration of the second transient (i.e..0246 ms

    Chapter 5

    Effects of Including Square-Wave HarmonicsIn section 2.2 it was stated that transient analysis of the LCL-T network with only the

    fundamental component of the input signal being considered was acceptable due its carrying

    the vast majority of the power. All of the plots to follow further corroborate the soundness

    of the foregoing assertion. Accordingly, each plot shows the signals thus far considered (i.e.

    inductor currents and capacitor voltage) for the case where all harmonics are considered and

    for when only the fundamental is considered. The plots for both cases are drawn on the

    same axis so as to facilitate the visual comparison.

    From the foregoing plots we clearly see that for all cases the signal outputs with and

    without harmonics are almost identical, as was initially asserted on the basis of the spectral

    power distribution. The only case where there is an appreciable, though small, difference in

    the response wave shape is in the capacitor voltage, figure 5-2, where high frequency

    components are appreciable at the instants that coincide with the sharp transitions between

    the positive and negative edges of the square-wave input.

    Chapter 6

    ConclusionThe completion of transient analysis for two switching instants on the hybrid LCL-T

    network by means of the three separate analysis techniques used (i.e. Classical, State-Space,

    & LTspice Simulation) has been very useful in bringing to life the theory that was learned

    throughout the Advanced Power Systems II course. Moreover, since the author of this paper

    will eventually have to build and implement the network in question and others similar to

    it as part of his graduate work, the analysis carried out advances his progress towards his

    ultimate goal and sheds helpful practical insights into the operation of the circuit. The

    aforesaid insight will in turn be of great value in the selection of component ratings that

    ensure safe operation despite the sharp transient spikes that could potentially take place as

    showcased by the results obtained from the analysis of the second switching instant.
