Contactless power transfer system combined with linear electric machine

Most of Contactless Power Transfer Systems (CPTS) have independent structure to improve power transmission efficiency. Sometimes, however, CPTS needs to be a part of moving system to reduce overall system volume. Therefore, this paper proposes a CPTS combined with a linear electric machine loading robots. A prototype CPTS has been constructed for testing and performance evaluation. This paper examines the performance of the prototype by simulation and test with AC-voltage source and PWM-voltage source.
