A Design Approach to Wireless High-Power Transfer to Multiple Receivers with Asymmetric Circuit

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) system commonly compensates by a symmetric pair of inductor and capacitor on the primary-secondary circuits to use the idea of resonance. It should be noticed that an additional component compensation on the common WPT circuit is able to affect the power transferred to the load. Although it is useful to wirelessly transfer power to multiple receivers, the complexity of the system will increase with the number of receivers as well as the system loses symmetry, and then, it would be difficult to design high power transfer system. This study explores the WPT circuit compensated with a single capacitor in the primary side to transfer high power to dual receivers. Using a single capacitor on the primary side makes the circuit asymmetry, so the idea of resonance cannot be used. To find operating points that maximize transferred power, this paper uses a mathematical optimization technique with several design variables. The NSGA-II (Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II) is used to optimize the design variables of the mathematical system model. The results show that the proposed system is able to attain high power even though using only a single capacitor compensation without the idea of resonance. Keywords—Optimization, wireless power transfer resonance.
