Contactless Power Transfer – Theoretical Principles and Fields of Applications
Journal Title: ANALELE UNIVERSITATII DIN CRAIOVA - Seria Inginerie electrica - Year 2018, Vol 42, Issue 0
Abstract
Contactless energy transfer 1 has indubitable advantages in modern technique given by the lack of electro-mechanical contacts predisposed to pitting and failure: use in aggressive or explosive (no sparks) environments, application to mechanisms with translation or rotation move-ments (robotics), high efficiency on relatively short distances a.s.o. Recent researches carried out in Romania demonstrate the feasibility of these systems for a wide power range, from a few watts up to tens of kW, suitable for the expansion of the electro-mobility and proliferation of multimedia and mobile communication devices. Such systems impose storing the energy in batteries requiring frequent charging. The concept of high frequency transformer with separable windings, as well as a capacitor with separable electrodes working in near field regime, the use of resonance and magnetic flux concentrators for increasing the transfer efficiency, some practical achievements and also maintaining of electromagnetic compatibility within well-defined limits are presented. The paper aims to draw the attention of users and also of prospective investors on the applications and advantages of these systems and to encourage national partnerships for developing theoretical and applied research in this field
