Abstract
Recently, the market promotion of wireless power transfer (WPT) products has generated great expectations for systematic design and optimization of practical WPT system (especially the coupler). The existing optimization methods usually employ the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to simulate the magnetic field, where the effects and requirements of overall circuit are neglected. To address this issue, an optimization approach for the coupler based on circuit simulation is proposed in this paper, and the secondary compensation capacitor is further optimized to improve the system performance. The simulation model is embedded into Simulink and the calculation part is embedded into MATLAB, where the objective is to achieve the maximum efficiency by searching three variables under adequate constraints. The numerical results imply that the proposed method is more effective and accurate than the traditional trial-and-error way, and that it suits the practical WPT system design excellently.
