On the impact of relay circuit losses in four‐coil wireless power transfer systems

Abstract: In wireless power transfer (WPT) systems with more than two coils, the intermediary or relay circuits are used to extend the link distance. Thus, to achieve this extension efficiently in terms of power transfer, these relay circuits must have low losses. However, there are several instances in which there are restrictions in reducing the ohmic losses in all the relay circuits of the system. This is the case of biomedical applications where commonly there are size and access restrictions since one of the circui… Show more

“…Many efforts have been made to develop and demonstrate multiple‐receiver WPT systems 14–22 . They are classified based on the number of the transmitters and receivers in the categories: single input–multiple output (SIMO) 14–20 and multiple input–multiple output (MIMO) 21,22 . In this classification, input and output refer to the power transmitter and receiver, respectively.…”

“…It has been revealed in other studies 7–9 that the transfer performance of the two‐coil system deteriorates with the increase of the transfer distance due to the weakened magnetic coupling. To extend the transfer distance, MRC‐WPT systems with repeaters positioned between transmitting and receiving coils have been investigated 10–15 . Nevertheless, the transmission efficiency would drop dramatically when the repeater is deviated from a specific position.…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Starting with the pioneer work of Tesla 6 using WPT systems with only two coils, several other arrangements using three or more coils have been recently researched. [3][4][5][7][8][9][10][11] For instance, typical three-coil WPT systems are composed of three circuits (usually tuned at the same resonance frequency to reduce the losses due to reactive effects), one containing the source, the other containing the load, and one intermediary (relay circuit), where all are coupled to the adjacent ones by their respective mutual inductances.Independently of the number of coils used, a typical WPT system is usually designed aiming optimal efficiency (η), which can be defined as the power delivered to the load circuit divided by the total power supplied by the source. Alternatively, the WPT systems can be designed optimizing their power transfer capability (P Ã ), which can be defined as the power delivered to the load circuit divided by the maximum ideal amount of power which can be delivered to the same load circuit.However, in some applications, the mutual inductance between the coils may vary because the relative position of the coils is not fixed.…”
