Abstract
This paper proposes a long-distance multi-load wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a constant voltage (CV) output for each load. A repeater unit consisting of two bipolar repeater coils is designed to power the load. Multiple repeater units are placed in a line and the power can be transferred from one unit to the next. Each repeater unit corresponds to one load and multiple loads can be powered simultaneously. The two repeater coils in the same repeater unit are placed perpendicularly to eliminate the magnetic coupling between them. In each repeater unit, a compensation capacitor is placed in series with the transmitting coil while two extra compensation capacitors form a series-parallel (SP) structure for the receiving coil. When neglecting the coil's parasitic resistance, the CV characteristics can be obtained, which enables the independent and flexible power control of each load. Moreover, the influence of the parasitic resistances on the system performance is analysed. Such a system is especially suitable for powering the gate drivers in a high-voltage converter where multiple insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are connected in series. An experimental setup with six loads is constructed to validate the proposed system. The maximum system efficiency can reach 88.1%.
