In this study, we analyze the structure of the transceiver coil in the inductive power transfer (IPT) system. In the IPT system, the transceiver coil design needs to have the highest magnetic coupling possible because of the relatively low magnetic coupling due to the large gap of distance without the core. The transmitting coil may be formed as a multi-layer type according to the distance between the transmitting and receiving coils if the receiving coil is configured as a multi-layer type on the inner structure of the receiving apparatus, thereby improving the magnetic coupling and system efficiency. We compare and analyze the coil magnetic coupling, and system efficiency according to the layer structure of the transmitting and receiving coils and verify the analysis by JMAG simulation. Experimental results show that the layer structure of the transceiver should be considered according to the inner space of the receiving device and the spacing distance.

This paper proposes an operating frequency design method that limits the voltage applied to aload-side converter during the initial operation of a loosely coupled resonant dual-active bridge (LCR-DAB) converter and an initial operating strategy that applies it. The LCR-DAB converter uses two wireless power transfer coils instead of the high-frequency transformer of the general DAB converter. The wireless power coil has a physical distance of several tens of millimeter or more between the two coils; thus, the LCR-DAB converter is a bidirectional isolated power conversion system that can easily achieve high insulation performance. However, for the initial operation of the LCR-DAB, if the power-side converter is operated at the resonance frequency while the load-side converter is not operating, then a very high voltage due to resonance is applied to the load-side converter, thereby causing damage to the converter. Therefore, a method that can stably charge the DC link voltage of the secondary-side converter during the initial operation is needed. This paper proposes a method to initially charge the secondary-side DC link by operating the primary-side converter at a frequency with limited voltage gain rather than at a steady-state operating frequency. The validity of the proposed frequency design method and initial operating sequence is verified through simulation and experimentation of the 1 KW LCR-DAB converter.

본 논문에서는 6.78 MHz 자기공진방식 무선전력전송 송수신 코일을 최적화하고 이에 따른 시뮬레이션 및 측정 결과를 제시하였다. 전송 효율은 시스템 형태 및 코일 크기 등 다양한 요인에 따라 영향을 받게 되므로 자기 공진형 무선전력전송의 실용화에 있어 코일 구조를 각각 송신용 헬리컬 공진코일과 수신용 평판형 스파이럴 공진코일을 구성하여 부피의 문제점을 최소화하고 원통형 형태의 무선충전형태에 맞게 코일의 크기, 공진기 내의 코일과 코일 간의 거리 등을 결정하였으며, 전자계 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 확인하였다. 860mm 지름 상판과 600mm 떨어진 기둥의 원통형 구조에 대하여 적용 가능한 무선전력전송 코일을 설계하여 특성을 시뮬레이션하고, 제작하여 특성을 측정하였다. 시뮬레이션 특성은 ${\mid}S_{21}{\mid}$이 -0.53 dB, 효율 88 %, 측정 결과는 ${\mid}S_{21}{\mid}$이 -0.71 dB 로 효율 85 %를 나타내었다.

In electromagnetic coupled resonance(ECR) WPT system, the main key for wireless power transmission is the design method of the ECR coils. The ECR coils is classified to the helical coil(3D) type and the spiral coil(2D) type as a coil structure. The pattern of the spiral coil type has been studied in favor of commercialization. In this paper, the design characteristics of the helical coil and the spiral coil is considered using a Vector Network Analyzer. It is analyzed according to the distance of coupling coefficient between the ECR coils. Also, It is analyzed for the relationships such as the maximum transmission efficiency and the resonant frequency depending on the distance between the coils.

In this study, we introduce a triple-band flexible implantable antenna that is tuned by using a ground slot in three specific bands, namely Medical Implanted Communication Service (MICS: 402-405 MHz) for telemetry, the midfield band (lower gigahertz: 1.45-1.6 GHz) for Wireless Power Transfer (WPT), and the Industrial, Scientific and Medical band (ISM: 2.4-2.45 GHz) for power conservation. This antenna is wrapped inside a printed 3D capsule prototype to show its applicability in different implantable or ingestible devices. The telemetry performance of the proposed antenna was simulated and measured by using a porcine heart. From the simulation and measurement, we found that use of a ground slot in the implantable antenna can improve the antenna performance and can also reduce the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).

The technology of supplying the electric power by wireless power transfer (WPT) is expected for the next generation power feeding system since it can supply the power to portable devices without any connectors through large air gap. As such a technology based on strongly coupled electromagnetic resonators is possible to deliver the large power and recharge them seamlessly; it has been considered as a noble option to wireless power charging system in the various power applications. Recently, various HTS wires have now been manufactured for demonstrations of transmission cables, motors, MAGLEV, and other electrical power components. However, since the HTS magnets have a lower index n value intrinsically, they are required to be charged from external power system through leads or internal power system. The portable area is limited as well as the cryogen system is bulkier. Thus, we proposed a novel design of wireless power charging system for superconducting HTS magnet (WPC4SM) based on resonance coupling method. As the novel system makes possible a wireless power charging using copper resonance coupled coils, it enables to portable charging conveniently in the superconducting applications. This paper presented the conceptual design and operating characteristics of WPC4SM using different shapes' copper resonance coil. The proposed system consists of four components; RF generator of 370 kHz, copper resonance coupling coils, impedance matching (IM) subsystem and HTS magnet including rectifier system.

This paper proposes a control methodology for a high efficiency operation of an inductive power transfer (IPT) converter by combining full bridge (FB) and half bridge (HB) controls. To apply the proposed control to the IPT converter, the characteristics of each control method are analyzed. By examining the output voltages of the IPT converter and a theoretical loss analysis, the control shifting points between FB and HB controls are evaluated in accordance with the coupling coefficients and the load. Based on the control shifting points, the FB-HB control algorithm is implemented. By applying FB-HB control, high efficiency operation at the light load condition can be achieved.

본 논문에서는 무선전력전송용 전 방향 빔 조향 직교 공진기를 제안하였다. 전 방향 빔 조향 직교 공진기는 2개의 루프를 수직으로 교차하여 이들의 연결 관계를 스위치로 제어하는 방식이다. 스위치의 연결 방식에 따라 루프에 흐르는 전류의 방향이 결정되고, 그에 따라 빔 조향 방향이 결정된다. 수직으로 교차한 공진기의 전류와 그에 따라 형성되는 자기장의 벡터 합의 원리를 이용하여 대각선 방향으로의 빔 조향을 실현하였다. 4개의 스위치 mode를 통해서 총 8개 방향으로 빔 조향이 가능하다. 적합한 스위치 mode를 사용하여 전 방향에 대한 전송 효율을 구하면 시뮬레이션과 측정 결과가 각각 56.3~60.0 %(편차 3.7 %), 41.2~48.7 %(편차 7.5 %)으로 비교적 전 방향에 대해 균일한 전송 효율을 얻을 수 있다.
