Summary: | This paper proposes and implements a novel continuously variable-frequency energy-encrypted wireless power transfer (WPT) system for wireless energy security in multi-receiver applications. To prevent wireless energy from being illegally stolen, the proposed chaotic 2-D frequency-and-duration encryption (FDE) technology directly generates well-defended security keys to guarantee energy security. An LCC-compensated transmitter without using a switched-capacitor array is proposed to competently encrypt the wireless energy into burglarproof energy packages, which are decrypted only by authorized receivers. Then, the concept of the static variable capacitor (SVC) is presented to achieve dynamical impedance compensation for wireless energy decryption in authorized receivers with knowledge of security keys. Consequently, the proposed energy-encrypted SVC-based WPT system can flexibly encrypt and decrypt wireless energy packages in a continuous frequency-and-duration adjustment rather than in a discrete way, thus greatly improving energy security performance. Theoretical analysis, computer simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the feasibility of the proposed continuously energy-encrypted SVC-based WPT system.
