About

Dr. Qichang Duan is a leading researcher in wireless power transfer (WPT) and robust control systems, with a particular focus on powering mobile robots. His most cited work, "High Robustness Control for Robotic Wireless Power Transfer Systems with Multiple Uncertain Parameters Using a Virtual Buck Converter" (2017, 7 citations), addresses a critical challenge in the field: maintaining stable power delivery despite unpredictable variations in mutual inductance, load, and operating frequency. Dr. Duan’s key contribution lies in proposing an H∞ robust control method that leverages a virtual buck converter to achieve exceptional system stability and efficiency under real-world uncertainties. This work is foundational for enabling reliable, continuous power supply to moving robots in dynamic environments. While his citation count is still growing, the practical significance of his research is evident in its potential to advance autonomous robotics and industrial automation. Dr. Duan’s innovative approach to parameter-robust WPT design marks him as a promising figure in power electronics and control engineering.
