Implicit adaptive controller for wireless power pickups

An implicit generalized minimum variance type adaptive controller has been designed for regulating the output voltage of a wireless power pick-up. The parameters of this controller are directly estimated without explicitly identifying system parameters and therefore it offers significant advantages over explicit type adaptive controllers requiring process parameter estimation. The performance of this controller has been illustrated via simulations. Results of simulation under various conditions demonstrate that the proposed controller can achieve full-range tuning control and successfully regulate the output voltage under system parameter variations.
