Abstract
In order to improve the power transfer efficiency and ensure the space cleanliness of power transfer direction in inductive coupled wireless power transfer (WPT) system, a new U-coil WPT system is proposed. Based on the mutual inductance coupling theory, a new methodology for ensuring that a U-coil system is more energy efficient than a two-coil counterpart is presented in this paper. The theoretical proof and the conditions for meeting the objective are derived and practically verified in a practical prototype. The experimental results show: 1) comparing with two-coil system, power transfer efficiency can be improved more than ten times by using U-coil system; and 2) with the same power transfer efficiency principle, the dimension of primary and load coils in U-coil system shrinks at least 66% comparing with that of two-coil system. The U-coil system not only improves power transfer efficiency but also ensures the cleanliness of the space along the energy transfer direction.
