Abstract
Underwater wireless power transfer (UWPT) system has attracted widespread attention. It has been used for power delivery for underwater equipment in the marine environment with high safety and convenience. However, the material of metal plates and the shape which will affect the high frequency alternating electromagnetic fields and the high frequency alternating electric fields for the inductive wireless power transfer (IPT) system and the capacitive wireless power transfer (CPT) system. This paper presents the effects of the hull of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) on the underwater wireless power transfer system including the underwater capacitive wireless power transfer (UCWPT) system and underwater inductive wireless power transfer (UIWPT) system. The features of underwater wireless power transfer systems have been carefully studied with simulation and experimental work. The experimental water tank has been constructed with the 35‰ salinity water. The hull of AUVs has been respectively simulated and built with rectangle metal plates and curved metal plates. The original experimental data and phenomenon have been presented in this paper. The different performance of the UCWPT system and UIWPT system is provided and discussed in this paper. The comparison work with the related paper has been analyzed. This paper could be acted as the reference for designing the underwater wireless power transfer system for AUVs.
