The　S-S　compensated　WPT　system　has　the　merits　of　simple　structure　and　high　efficiency,　but　the　phase-shift　controlled　S-S　compensated　WPT　system　cannot　easily　realize　soft　switching.　In　this　paper,　a　small　capacitor　is　added　at　the　input　port　of　the　rectifier　to　extend　the　soft-switching　range.　When　the　capacitance　is　large　enough,　the　soft　switching　can　be　realized　readily　in　the　full　load　range,　but　the　price　is　the　increased　reactive　power.　To　reduce　the　capacitance　while　maintaining　soft-switching　in　the　entire　load　range,　a　variable-frequency　and　phase-shift　hybrid　control　is　further　proposed.　At　last,　a　1.2　kW　experimental　prototype　is　built　in　the　lab　to　verify　the　proposed　scheme.　©　2022　IEEE.
