INTRODUCTION Inductive power transfer (IPT), which while theorized in the 1800s, has only seen relatively recent use in the last 15-20 years most notably for EVs battery charging application [1, 2]. Inductive coupling can provide power to the battery and at the same time provide galvanic isolation and hence are advantageous than conventional energy transmission techniques using wires and connectors from the point of safety, reliability, low maintenance, and long product life [3, 4]. It is EDVHG RQ IXQGDPHQWDO SULQFLSOH RI DPSHUH¶V circuital law and IDUDGD\¶V ODZ of electromagnetic induction on which conventional transformers and induction motor works. However, in case of transformer and induction motor primary and secondary are placed in close proximity therefore coupling coefficient is high usually 90-98%. For battery charging application via IPT system the large air gap is desired to minimise protrusion from either side and to allow good clearance between the vehicle base and the ground therefore leakage flux is more and hence is low (usually 10-20%) [5]. Poor coupling in loosely coupled system leads to poor transfer of power. To improve coupling and compensate leakage inductance, capacitive compensation in primary and secondary 978-1-4799-1762-4/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE windings is required. For this purpose capacitor can be connected in either series or parallel of both winding giving total of four topology namely Series-Series (SS) topology, Series-Parallel (SP) topology, Parallel-Series (PS) topology and Parallel-Parallel (PP) topology. Since capacitor is made to resonate with self-inductance of primary and secondary coil it is more appropriate to call it resonant inductive coupling rather than merely inductive coupling. All topology has certain advantage and disadvantage and their choice mainly depends on type of application. There has been research to find out most suitable topology for particular application such as battery charging [6-10]. While there are other topologies that may be used, the parallel secondary architecture is beneficial for battery charging because of its constant current source characteristics, which occurs if primary current is maintained constant [11-13]. In this paper analysis of Series-Parallel resonant inductive coupling has been done using two port network with the aim of understanding its circuit behavior when fed from constant input voltage. For the analysis a prototype of SP resonant coils has been built in the lab. Absence of core makes it similar to linear transformer and therefore linear circuit theory can be applied for the analysis. Paper has been arranged in following manner: Section II explains the concept of forced resonance and natural resonance, in section III characteristics of SP topology has been derived, In section IV efficiency and condition for maximum efficiency has been discussed, in section V simulation and experimental results has been presented, Section VI concludes the paper. II. FORCED RESONANCE AND NATURAL RESONANCE Secondary compensation is done to improve the power transfer capability of the system and Primary capacitor is so chosen that the impedance as seen from the source side is purely resistive in nature so as to ensure that the input current and voltage are in phase, and therefore it reduces the VA 005402 rating of supply [14]. Fig. 1. Shows the equivalent circuit of series-parallel topology. Ip Rp Cp Is Rs Ls z12Is Ic z21Ip Cs RL D R1 Fig.2. Series-Parallel RC equivalent circuits Here, ߱ ൌ ଵ (7) ඥೞ ೄ (1) ଵାఠమ ோಽమ ೞమ ଵାఠమ ோಽమ ೞమ Resonant frequency for loop ABCD is given by [15]: ߱ is the natural resonant frequency of the secondary. This resonant frequency is independent of load and is fixed for selected frequency. To analyze the behavior of this circuit it can be seen as a series RLC circuit operating at resonance in which output is picked off the secondary capacitance, Cs in order to take advantage of the fact that at resonance the amplitude of the voltage across the capacitor is Q (= ఠோೞ ) ೞ times the amplitude of the source voltage . Fig. 4 (a) and (b) gives the phasor diagram of Fig. 5 with and without capacitor Cs for same load. Secondary resistance has been neglected in drawing these phasor for clear understanding of circuit.

With ߱oF, reflected impedance is purely resistive and is given by: మ ఠಷ ெమ Vs Io (6) Therefore tuning in primary is not disrupted with the variation of mutual inductance or load and system remains perfectly tuned. However, one can observe from eq. (4) ߱ி is dependent on load so value of Cs need to be adjusted each time load changes and therefore to eliminate this problem, instead of tuning entire secondary circuit we tune the loop ABCD as shown in fig.3. Io Vs (b) Fig. 4. Phasor diagram of Fig. 3, (a) with capacitor Cs (b) without capacitor Cs V is input voltage of circuit i.e. j߱MIp in this case. From phasor diagram one can observe that for given load ȁܸȁ ൏ ȁܸ௦ ȁ for compensated secondary (with Cs) and ȁܸȁ ȁܸ௦ ȁ for uncompensated secondary (without Cs). This means that for a given load, addition of Cs reduces the input voltage.

Constant voltage characteristics is useful in multiple outlets system and those system which has intermediate dc bus such as modern variable speed ac drives or for multiple outlet [12]. As opposed to SS topology SP topology is not short circuit proof. A. Characteristics with respect to frequency: This subsection study the variation of characteristics w.r.t. frequency for different load. As load resistance increases (i.e. load decreases) load quality factor QL increases and primary quality factor QP decreases as seen in eq. (21) and (22) [12]. ܳ ൌ ܳ ൌ ோಽ (21) ఠ ೞ ఠ ು మೄ ெమ ோಽ (22) Fig.6 shows the voltage transfer characteristics plotted w.r.t. frequency. For low value of QL, characteristics has only one peak since primary quality factor dominates and SP topology behaves as single tuned circuit and is more sensitive to frequency change. As the load quality factor increases characteristics acquires U shape because topology behaves as double tuned circuit. In the middle of U region, characteristics becomes more sensitive to variation in load but less sensitive to variation in frequency. If resonant tank are properly designed it can give stable gain over a large frequency band (bandwidth) as is evident from curve for QL =1. This also shows that at resonant frequency voltage transfer characteristics is almost insensitive to load variation which was established earlier through equation (20). Fig.7. Current Transfer Characteristics Vs Frequency Fig.7 shows the plot of current transfer characteristics w.r.t. frequency. It shows that at resonance frequency, hi-sp has maximum value and is sensitive to load variation however as frequency increases away from resonant frequency hi-sp becomes independent of load variation. Fig.8 shows the plot of total input impedance w.r.t. frequency. From the plot one can observe that for low value of QL plot is similar to any series RLC circuit where total impedance decreases as frequency increases and becomes minimum at resonance frequency, and henceforth increases as frequency increases. This is due to the fact that at low QL primary quality factor dominates and circuit behaves as single tuned circuit. However as QL increases Qp decreases and circuit behaves as double-tuned circuit which explain the nonlinear nature of plot around resonant frequency for high QL. Fig.8.

V. SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS For the proof of concept of theories presented in this paper a prototype of air cored IPT coils to deliver 30 watt at 20 kHz and 20mm air gap, has been built in the lab. At high frequency operation equivalent series resistance (ESR) of wire and therefore copper loss increases due to the skin effect and proximity effects. To mitigate this loss, braided enamelled conductors known as Litz wire must be used for making coils. Therefore to build coils, Litz wire 90/38 SPN SN (90 strands, 38 awg each strand) has been used. For the experiment, compensation capacitors with very low ESR Polypropylene film type have been selected. Parameters of the coils along with compensating capacitors has been shown in table 3. TABLE III. Fig.11. Experimental setup. To show that SP topology gives load independent output voltage when fed from constant input voltage and fixed frequency supply, load was varied in the sequence [1.2, 2.21, 3.45, 4.57, 5.34, and 6.23] ohm while dc link of inverter was fixed at 15 volts and switching frequency was kept 15 kHz. Due to practical availability, value of capacitor used in experimental setup were adjusted to Cp=0.56 μF and Cs=2.7 μF. Output voltage by input voltage (Vs/Vp) for simulation and experiment has been plotted in fig.13.

Voltage transfer characteristics of SP topology In Fig.12 Ideal plot shows the voltage transfer characteristics for the case when winding resistance has been neglected. It shows that when winding resistance are neglected SP topology behaves as ideal voltage source. However due to coil resistance characteristics deviates from ideal condition as is evident from simulation and experimental plot in Fig. 13. There is difference in magnitude of voltage transfer characteristics for simulation and experiment. This is due to the fact that in simulation tuning was perfect in primary and secondary coil however in experiment ideal tuning was not possible due to practical availability of capacitors. Moreover switching time delay, parasitic elements such as switches and connecting wires inductance were not included in simulations however they are unavoidable during experiment. VI. CONCLUSIONS In this paper characteristics of Series-Parallel topology has been studied when primary is fed from constant input voltage. To simplify the analysis concept of two-port network has been utilized for deriving the characteristics of circuits. All the characteristics has been plotted and discussed with respect to load as well as frequency variations. One of the important characteristics of Series-parallel topology has been found to give constant-voltage output. This particular characteristics has been validated using MATLAB simulation and hardware implementation. Simulation and experimental results were found to be in close agreement. Limiting factor to the theory was found to be parasitic resistance such as coil resistance and connecting wire resistance, as well as deviation form ideal tuning condition. Characteristics not only establish the concept about circuit but also help in establishing the behaviour of the topology which in turn help in selecting the topology for a particular application.
