Abstract:

In this paper, based on the asymmetric DD coil and LCC-SP topology of electric vehicle for wireless charging, a novel magnetic core structure is designed and optimized to solve the problem of high magnetic loss and low utilization of the core caused by the non-uniform magnetic flux of the transmitting core. Firstly, the equivalent circuit model and the equivalent magnetic circuit model of the reference coils are established, providing theoretical support for the calculation of magnetic core loss and the layout design of the core structure. Meanwhile, the evaluation index of magnetic flux uniformity CV(B) is proposed, and its quantitative relationship with magnetic core loss and core volume is established, providing the optimization direction and optimization boundary for the magnetic core. Then, based on the coils’ equivalent model, a novel transmitting core structure is proposed, and sensitivity analysis is carried out on its key structure parameters to reduce the complexity of optimization variables. Finally, with the maximum coupling coefficient and the minimum uniformity coefficient as the optimization objectives, the novel core structure optimization based on NSGA-II multi-objective optimization algorithm is completed by the Co-simulation of COMSOL and Matlab. The results show that the utilization rate and efficiency of the optimized core have been improved, with the volume of the optimized core only 60% of the original reference core, the coil transmission efficiency increased to 98.117%, and the core loss reduced by about 10 W, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method.
