Multi-Resonant Compensation Analysis of Contactless Electrial Power Transfer System

The loose coupling structure of Contactless Electrical Power Transfer System (CEPTS) is the main cause of transmission inefficiency. Compensation capacitors were calculated and mounted on both sides of primary and secondary coils which forming the following four compensation topologies: primary secondary series (SS compensation), primary series-secondary parallel (SP compensation), primary parallel-secondary series (PS compensation) and primary secondary parallel (PP compensation). Experiment results show that the transmission efficiency differs according to different compensation topologies. SP structure is the most efficient among these four topologies and the transmission efficiency of SP structure is about 40% higher than that of basic structure without compensation.
