The paper puts forward a method for predicting output voltage and resistance of a series-series (SS) compensated inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT) link operating at load-independent-voltage-output (LIVO) frequency. The link is a part of the static system (reported by the authors in earlier works), wirelessly delivering power into an enclosed compartment without any secondary-to-primary feedback. The proposed algorithm employs input DC-side quantities (which are slow-varying and nearly noise-free, thus measured utilizing low-cost, low-bandwidth sensors) only to monitor output DC-side quantities, required for protection and/or control. It is shown that high estimation accuracy is retained as long as system parameter values are known and the phasor-domain equivalent circuit is valid (i.e., upon continuous-conduction mode (CCM) of the diode rectifier, where the proposed methodology utilizes the recently revealed modified diode rectifier equivalent model for enhanced accuracy). Under light loading (i.e., in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)), a nonlinear correction is combined with the proposed technique to retain accuracy. The proposed methodology is well-verified by application to a 400 V to 400 V, 1 kW static IWPT link by simulations and experiments.

Nowadays, as the whole world put more emphasis on ocean resource exploration, the use of automatic underwater vehicles (UAVs) comes to be increasingly frequent. Inductive wireless power transfer (IWPT), as a power transfer solution with high safety and exibility, is quite promising applied in UAV power supply. However, when applied underwater, IWPT efficiency decreases due to eddy current loss (ECL) caused by high conductivity of water medium. In order to analyze IWPT output characteristics in seawater, this paper proposes a coupling circuit model involving equivalent eddy current loss impedance (EECLI), which is derived via three- coil model. On the one hand, it is found that splitting frequency still exists in IWPT under seawater. On the other hand, EECLI is independent to coil distance, but proportional to operation frequency. The validity of the proposed model for IWPT system with coils in small size (coil outer diameter 12 cm, system resonant fre- quency 570 kHz) is verified by experiment, which means it is available for IWPT system design and analysis.

Tested compensation configurations are classified as series-series, series-parallel, parallel-series and parallel-parallel and all of them are operated with the input and output frequency converters and other supplementary electronics. As parameter we chose the transfer distance and load. The comparison is made according to changes in overall system efficiency and power delivered to the load along varying both the load and operational distance. All theoretical findings are experimentally verified and discussed in the conclusion section.</span>
