Online frequency and power regulation scheme of magnetic coupled resonant wireless power transfer

In order to address the issues that the magnetic coupled resonant wireless power transfer （MCR-WPT） system is sensitive to the resonant frequency and that transmission power is difficult to control with the non-resistive load in the MCR-WPT, a single-side regulation scheme for frequency and transmission power online is proposed, which is based on the inherent constraint relationships the among system parameters in the primary side. Thus, the communication between the primary side and the secondary side is avoided. First, the transfer models of resistance-capacitance load and resistance- inductance load are established, respectively. Next, the relationship between the input voltage phasor and the input current phasor is used to recognize the load property and value. Then, the coaxial rotation of the stepper motor and the rotating vacuum variable capacitor is conducted to unify resonant frequency both in the primary side and the secondary side. Finally, the regulations of both frequency and amplitude of input voltage are made to guarantee transmission power under a new resonant frequency point the same as the one when the only pure resistance part of load is accessed under the former resonant frequency point. Both simulation and experimental results indicate that the proposed regulation scheme can track remnant frequency and maintain transmission power constant.

Analysis and Design of a High-Stability,High-Accuracy,Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator

A high-accuracy,low-dropout （LDO） voltage regulator is presented. Using the slow-rolloff frequency compensation scheme, the LDO effectively overcomes the stability problem, facilitates the use of a ceramic capacitor, and improves the output voltage accuracy, which is critical for powering high-performance analog circuitry. The slow-rolloff compensation scheme is realized by introducing three pole-zero pairs, including the proposed polezero pair and sense zero. The post-layout simulation results demonstrate that this LDO has robust system stability, a high open-loop gain, and a high unit-gain frequency,which lead to excellent regulation and transient response performance. The line and load regulation are 27μV/V and 3.78μV/mA, and the overshoots of the output voltage are less than 30mV,while the dropout voltage is 120mV for a 150mA load current.

Demand response has been recognized as a valuable functionality of power systems for mitigating power imbalances.This paper proposes a hierarchical control strategy among the distribution system operator(DSO),load aggregators(LAs),and thermostatically controlled loads(TCLs);the strategy includes a scheduling layer and an executive layer to provide load regulation.In the scheduling layer,the DSO(leader)offers compensation price(CP)strategies,and the LAs(followers)respond to CP strategies with available regulation power(ARP)strategies.Profits of the DSO and LAs are modeled according to their behaviors during the load regulation process.Stackelberg game is adopted to capture interactions among the players and leader and to obtain the optimal strategy for each participant to achieve utility.Moreover,considering inevitable random factors in practice,e.g.,renewable generation and behavior of users,two different stochastic models based on sample average approximation(SAA)and parameter modification are formulated with improved scheduling accuracy.In the executive layer,distributed TCLs are triggered based on strategies determined in the scheduling layer.A self-triggering method that does not violate user privacy is presented,where TCLs receive external signals from the LA and independently determine whether to alter their operation statuses.Numerical simulations are performed on the modified IEEE-24 bus system to verify effectiveness of the proposed strategy.
