Midrange Magnetically-Coupled Resonant Circuit Wireless Power Transfer, Varun Nagoorkar May 2014

Midrange Magnetically-Coupled Resonant Circuit Wireless Power Transfer, Varun Nagoorkar

Electrical Engineering Theses

Recent years have seen numerous efforts to make wireless power transfer (WPT) feasible for application in diverse fields, from low-power domestic applications and medical applications to high-power industrial applications and electrical vehicles (EVs). As a result, it has been found that WPT by means of non-radiative magnetically-coupled resonant circuits is an optimum method for mid-range applications where the separation of source and receiver is in the range of 1-2m.This thesis investigates various aspects of the design of magnetically-coupled resonant circuits for non-radiative WPT. Firstly, a basic four-coil network for a mid-range (1-2m gap) WPT system with a single power source …
