Abstract: This paper presents a primary side model predictive control (MPC) strategy for wireless power transfer (WPT) based charging of light electric vehicle (LEVs). A battery simulator develops a model to accurately reproduce constant-current (CC) charging profile from Open Ciruit Voltage (OCV) and State of Charge (SoC) parameters of the battery. This model forms the foundation of the predictive control design, allowing accurate prediction of the charging trajectory while avoiding reliance on secondary-side feedback signals. The WPT system employs a phase-shifted full-bridge (PSFB) inverter with S-S compensation, where the primary-side controller regulates the secondary-side charging current using only primary-side current measurements. In contrast to conventional secondary side control, which is tuned around nominal coupling, requires explicit feedback, and degrades under coil misalignment and parameter variations, the proposed MPC leverages integrated system and battery models to predict future states and optimally adjust the phase shift for robust charging operation. Simulation and experimental validation on a real-time LEV charging prototype under aligned, lateral, and angular misalignment conditions demonstrate significant reduction in current-settling time compared to fixed-gain proportional-integral (PI) and known adaptive feedback controllers for same system, with lower RMS current and reduced current spikes at the battery. On the embedded controller, the proposed MPC executes within approximately 1 µs per 85 kHz PWM cycle, corresponding to less than 10% CPU utilization, confirming its practical real-time feasibility.
