Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an emerging technology that, over certain distances, facilitates the transmission of electrical power without physical contact. It is useful primarily for low-power and low-voltage applications, such as medical, consumer electronics, automation systems, electric vehicle charging, etc. However, undesirable conditions, such as the misalignment of the coupling coils and changes in the distance between coils, may affect the stability of the system. This paper presents the design, modeling, and comparison of two controllers for a WPT system comprising two low-power half-bridge inverters for the static charging of electric vehicles. Achieving a constant output voltage when the distance between the coils is varied, allowing the greatest transfer of constant energy and charging the EV battery. The analysis includes the design of the coils in order to guarantee maximum power transfer. Changes in the reference are considered to show the performance of the proposed controller. Results show that the output voltage remains constant even considering distance changes between coils.
