A High Efficiency Multi-Receiver Wireless Power Transfer System with Unanimous Power Reception at a Certain Angle

This paper presents a high efficiency magnetically coupled resonant wireless power transfer(MCR-WPT) system which can achieve uniform power distribution for five receivers that are at different positions and an angle with the horizontal plane. Both the receiver and transfer coils utilize a single coil structure. This paper analyzes the change of the coupling coefficient with the variation of angle of the non-axial receiver coil. In order to make the non-axial receiver gets the maximum power, it is necessary to adjust the coupling coefficient to the maximum by deflecting the receiver an angle. A prototype is fabricated and tested. The simulation and test results are in good agreement. The overall system efficiency reaches 89.16%, and the five receivers can receive almost the same power.
