Power Transfer Efficiency

In a wireless power transfer (WPT) system, the power transfer efficiency (PTE) decreases sharply with the increase in transfer distance. Metamaterials (MMs) have shown great potential to enhance PTE in mid-range WPT systems. In this paper, we propose two MM slabs of a 3 × 3 array to enhance the magnetic coupling. The MM unit cell was designed by using square spiral patterns on a thin printed circuit board (PCB). Moreover, the asymmetric four-coil WPT system was designed and built based on the practical application scenario of wireless charging for unmanned devices. The simulation and experimental results show that two MM slabs can enhance power transmission capability better than one MM slab. By optimizing the position and spacing of two MM slabs, the PTE was significantly improved at a mid-range distance. The measured PTEs of a system with two MM slabs can reach 72.05%, 64.33% and 49.63% at transfer distances of 80, 100 and 120 cm. When the transfer distance is 100 cm, the PTE of a system with MMs is 33.83% higher than that without MMs. Furthermore, the receiving and load coils were integrated, and the effect of coil offset on PTE was studied.

Today, the limit of wireless devices lays in the way they powered. There has been a renewed focus on wireless power transmission technology due to its wide range of application in charging electronic devices such as mobile, MP3 player and household robots without a cord. Imagine a device that doesn't need a charger or even a battery, which instead gets power wirelessly over the air. To make such a device possible the transfer distance of currently known system have to be increased. The wireless power transfer can be optimized base on Friis equation. The Friis transmission equation is developed from principle of optical radiometry and scalar diffraction. Friis equation will gives the amount of power an antenna received under ideal conditions from another antenna.

This paper proposes a wireless power transfer (WPT) system by placing repeater coils to transfer power to multiple loads for the internet of things (IoT) devices and sensors in smart grid applications. The proposed system intermediate resonators (repeaters) not only function as power relays to enhance the transfer distance but also supplies power to its load attached to them. Equal power distribution and load-independent characteristics were obtained without efficiency degradation when any one of the loads was changed during system operation. Identical high-quality factor coils were designed using Litz-wire to reduce the skin effect. The coil size was 15.5 cm × 15.5 cm and the four relays achieved total efficiency of 51.7%, delivering 2 W power and output voltage of 5 V to each load with a total power transfer distance of 62 cm.

Nowadays, there are more studies about the wireless power transfer (WPT) for mobile charging, electrical vehicles, implantable biomedical devices, and other applications. They (series resonance) commonly operate at high the self-resonant frequency (f0, several hundred kHz - several MHz ranges) based on magnetic coupling under impedance matching (IM). Operating at high f0 to increase the transfer distance, but high f0 (several MHz ranges) causes other parasitic losses of devices and the effectiveness to humans. In this paper, we propose a new method to design WPT using the parallel resonance under IM at low f0. The two coils are 10-turns with the radius of 6.2 cm. The efficiency (35.77 %) of the system under IM is achieved at the transfer distance of 10 cm and f0=20.388 kHz (low frequency), and the transfer distance can be increased by reducing f0.

Compensation Technique

This study aims to increase the coupling coefficient of the coils and power transfer efficiency (PTE) of the wireless power transfer (WPT) system. WPT system has a severe issue with the PTE as the transfer distance between the transmitter and receiver increases. Therefore, the transmitter and receiver of the single-circular coil (CC-coil) need to be optimized in geometry to maintain high coupling at an optimum distance. Ferrite and aluminum shielding are also crucial on CC-coil optimization. Implementing the series-series (S-S) magnetic resonance compensation technique can increase the PTE of the WPT system. Therefore, the CC-coil is optimized using Ansys Electronics Desktop and co-simulated with the magnetic resonance circuit using Ansys Twin Builder. The results show that the CC-coils' coupling coefficient increased by 21.38% with the shielding implementation. The maximum optimum transfer distance of 37 mm for horizontal misalignment and 30 mm for vertical misalignment. Implementing the S-S magnetic resonance compensation technique can improve the PTE and output power of the WPT system. The power transmitted also varied with the transfer distance, which caused the system's variation of input impedance. Hence, it is essential to consider the coil design and compensation circuit to achieve high PTE and output power at a higher transfer distance.
