Abstract

Wireless power transfer system has a major concern for several decades since various benefits have been included against wired counterpart. In this context, coupling structure has been investigated for various coils having different shapes of both magnetic cores and windings. This investigation is implemented based on a mathematical and modeling analysis to calculate inductive values of charging setups. This paper provides an accurate evaluation of inductive characteristics for the proposed coreless helical and spiral coils. The evaluation considers the dependence of inductive parameters on distance, geometry, and misalignment of coupling coils. In addition, the evaluation method is verified by the COMSOL software. Moreover, an accurate approximation of required inductive parameters is provided for the design of wireless charging system. Furthermore, four ferrite cores are provided for both winding types; and their coupling coefficients are examined to show the best configuration. Results show the validity of both theoretical and simulated analysis.
