Research on Three-Phase Wireless Power Transfer System

Abstract

Aiming at the problems of low power, low energy transmission efficiency, and high stress in the circuit of a single-phase wireless power transfer system, this paper proposes a wireless power transfer (WPT) system with a three-phase angle difference of 120 degrees and establishes a COMSOL multi-physics simulation model for analysis. In this simulation model, the topology of the three-phase resonant compensation network is studied in detail, and the structure of the coupling coil is designed and adjusted. Compared with the single-phase system with the same environmental conditions, air gap, and operating frequency, the simulation results show that the proposed three-phase system can effectively reduce the magnetic flux leakage, reduce the stress in the circuit, and significantly improve the energy transmission efficiency. In order to verify the reliability of the simulation results, an experimental platform was built. The experimental results show that the efficiency and coupling degree of the new system are significantly improved at the resonant frequency of 47.5 kHz, and the stress in the circuit is also significantly reduced.
