Simulation and Parameter Design of a 10kw Wireless Power Transfer System Applied to Gantry Crane

Gantry cranes are used throughout the materials handling industry. But conventional methods of power transfer to the cranes such as trolley conductor and wire directly connected have remained less than ideal, that is until the recent development of a novel wireless power transfer (WPT) system that is clean and spark-free, is robust to dust and water, and has very low maintenance. A 10kw WPT simulation system applied to gantry crane has been developed. The best compensation topology and the parameter have been studied in order to get high efficiency of the system. The study has been focused in showing the parameter design. Finally, the simulation has proved the validation of the proposed parameter design method.
