In this paper, a parallel modular multi-inverter (PMMI) topology is proposed to supply high power for wireless charging electric vehicles (EVs). A major challenge in the implementation of PMMI topology is zero-voltage switching (ZVS) for all inverters to avoid high-frequency switching losses. Therefore, a centralized-ZVS control and master–slave frequency following (MSFF) strategy are presented to realize ZVS for all PMMIs by a single controller structure without extra controllers needed on the slave inverters. Meanwhile, a modeling method directly related to the ZVS angle and operating frequency for an arbitrary number of PMMIs is proposed and linearized to analyze the system dynamic characteristics at the operating point. Additionally, to obtain the desired dynamic performance, an optimal controller coefficient (OCC) configuration method is proposed for the design of controller parameters. Finally, a laboratory wireless power transfer (WPT) prototype supplied by three PMMIs is designed, built, and tested to verify the correctness of the theoretical analysis. Experimental results show that the ZVS angle of all PMMIs can maintain at the preset value with the desired settling time under designed the PI controller parameters. The measured whole system power transmission efficiency is 94.1% at a 10 Ω load.
