Summary
This chapter details advanced control strategies for wireless charging systems used in UAVs. It begins with an introduction to control challenges specific to wireless charging and then discusses model-predicted control approaches, particularly those using high-order LCC-P topologies. Key topics include system modelling, mutual inductance prediction, and controller design, supported by both simulation and experimental verification. The chapter also covers rotating-coordinate-based mutual inductance estimation, including system modelling in the dq synchronous reference frame and the αβ-to-dq transformation. This section emphasizes the importance of accurate control for efficient and reliable wireless power transfer.
